Why hire a Lactation Consultant?

You and your baby deserve the best nursing experience possible.  With consistent, compassionate guidance it is possible to achieve the feeding goals that feel right for you and your family. While babies are born with strong instincts that drive their desire to breastfeed, this does not guarantee that breastfeeding will be easy.  Working with you before baby is born, in order to ensure the best start possible, or once baby has arrived, to get things back on track, my goal is to ensure you and your baby thrive.

Taya is just the best! Both my kids were born a couple of weeks early and so it was a bit difficult to establish breastfeeding with them. Both times, Taya helped me sort them out with just the right dose of compassion, knowledge and humor! Taya totally "gets it" on a physiological/scientific level but also on a human level. Her techniques work and she knows how best to support new and seasoned moms alike -- highly recommend! - Shari and babies Benjamin and Talia
