Feeding Support
Expert Support for Your Feeding Journey
Lactation consultants are experts in breastfeeding support. They help mothers and babies with all aspects of breastfeeding, from getting started to dealing with challenges. Their guidance and support can be invaluable in ensuring a successful and enjoyable breastfeeding experience.
​
At The Village, we have several International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) passionately dedicated to supporting parents through every step of their baby's feeding journey. These highly skilled professionals offer far more than just basic advice; they bring extensive knowledge and experience to the table,
