Hi! My name is Heather Carreon. I am a Registered Nurse and IBCLC. I have over 10 years experience with postpartum mothers and infants. I live in Clayton, NC with my husband 3 children. Although I had knowledge as a lactation consultant and postpartum nurse, my personal breastfeeding experience as a new mother was definitely an educational process. I struggled in various ways with my own infants and sought help from colleagues. My personal journey has given me a new and relatable perspective about the breastfeeding challenges mothers face. Without tailored guidance in the early weeks, breastfeeding can be very frustrating. My aim is to provide you with compassionate support and education to help families reach their breastfeeding goals.

I am a mother to four children and when my first and fourth babies were newborns, they gave me many breastfeeding challenges. It was with the support of skilled lactation consultants that I was able to develop a plan to be able to continue to breastfeed. I became a lactation consultant because I desire to support moms in the comfort of their own homes as they overcome challenges while feeding their babies. It is a joy and honor to get to do what I do and I love building relationships with the families I serve. Before I was a lactation consultant, I was a birth doula. I’ve been supporting growing families for over a decade.
