  • Not getting the advice or support you need from your online feeding groups? 🤍

    I recently started offering affordable Feed & Figure It Out phone/video support calls for parents who feel overwhelmed trying to navigate feeding challenges, conflicting advice, or figuring out what to do next.

    These are brief 20–30 minute support calls designed to help parents talk things through with someone experienced who truly cares.

    If more in depth support is needed, families may be encouraged to schedule a full lactation consult or seek in person evaluation with a local provider when appropriate.

Testimonials

  • We started working with Emily following a challenging start to breast feeding. As a first time mom in those early days, I remember feeling so overwhelmed and anxious about ensuring my baby was being properly fed. After just the first meeting with Emily, I started to gain the skills and confidence for a successful feeding journey with my baby. She helped us to figure out what worked best for our family specifically. Emily combines years of experience in the field with a genuine care for both the babies and moms she serves - her support and expertise led us to a successful and lasting feeding journey!

  • As a Certified Nurse Midwife, I can't recommend Emily of lancaster lactation enough. Emily is a knowledgeable, skilled, and experienced Labor & Delivery RN and IBCLC. I refer all my breastfeeding clients to her and know they are in good hands.

    — Marielle Tomlin CNM, owner WomanKind Midwifery

  • " I have a 2 month old and have an over supply of milk causing me to get plugged ducts. After the recommendations Emily gave me I was pain free within 12 hours. Not only did she help rid the problem she also gave lots of recommendations to prevent it in the future! She is wonderful!"

    — Lexa

  • In such a vulnerable and sensitive season of life - trying to feed your newborn baby - Emily is the calm, cool, and collected expert that makes anything possible. After being diagnosed with flat nipples and being told by multiple medical professionals I needed to use a nipple shield, Emily got us back on track and feeding without the shield immediately. Her warmth and knowledge gives you the confidence to get in touch with your own intuition and connect with your baby. Breastfeeding has its hurdles but with Emily as your coach, you can overcome them! We also highly suggest a prenatal meeting so Emily can teach you how to use your pump before the baby arrives.
