Find Lactation Consultant Jobs in Pittsfield, MA

Hi! I'm Sarah. My husband, Caleb, and I are excited to be welcoming our second baby this November. We live in Worthington, Massachusetts, after recently moving back from Florida, where I was born and raised. Caleb grew up here in western Massachusetts, so we're happy to be closer to his family as we continue growing ours. Our first birth was a home birth that ended in an unplanned C-section, and while I'm incredibly thankful for my son and for the medical care that was available when we needed it, I'm really hoping to have a successful VBAC this time. Avoiding another cesarean is very important to me if it can be done safely, so I'm looking for a doula who is experienced with VBACs and can provide steady, knowledgeable support throughout pregnancy, labor, and birth. After my son's birth, I also struggled with postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety. This time around, I'm hoping that building a stronger support system before birth will help me have a healthier and more positive postpartum experience. I'm looking for someone who can not only support me during labor but also provide encouragement and guidance as our family adjusts after baby arrives. Things like helping clean the kitchen, keeping up with laundry, preparing freezer meals for our family, watching the baby when I need an extra hand, and help with breastfeeding since I really want to be successful in that this time around. More than anything, we're looking for a doula who is compassionate, encouraging, and committed to helping us make informed decisions while creating the best possible birth experience for our growing family.

Almost 8 weeks baby, laches only for 3 or 4 minutes each 5 hours or even longer. Same with breast and bottles. He do laches but for a really short time than fall asleep right after. Can't feed him while asleep and can't wake him up to feed. It takes 5 hours between each feed and after that he will go for a 2oz maximum. I prefer in person visit. THANKS

Plan to give birth at St Peter’s Hospital Not sure on a budget yet I’m interested in giving birth in a hospital without an epidural, but am not 100% sure yet. I would like someone who can coach me through labor, and help me figure out breastfeeding

First timer here! The thought of giving birth at home sounds cozy and amazing and less invasive, however, for safety reasons most likely a hospital. I’d prefer a hands off experience, I trust my body & that it knows what to do; no Pitocin no epidural, no birthing laying down, etc. Yet I know sometimes we make plans and God giggles. Sometimes I feel naive for not having many questions considering this is my first time giving birth / becoming a mom - I want guidance and support for when those questions arise. A voice for if and when my voice shakes too much. Someone who obviously knows a lot more than I do and CARES. A whole new chapter will be unfolding February 2027, new noises in the house, new sleep schedule (and I’m a sleeeeepy girl regardless of being pregnant), I want to breastfeed sooooo badly, it’s all new to me so someone who has knowledge on all of these new pages would be amazing.

Looking for an at home prenatal visit to discuss BF and pumping options as well as understand a bit more about my pump prior to being sleep deprived

I have never used a doula before and I think I would love the experience this will be my first time trying to breastfeed after having three kids already and I just want a calm birthing experience I would probably still give birth in hospital I’m hoping my insurance covers everything
