Hi, I’m Kaila, CLC

As a Certified Lactation Counselor and mother, I know firsthand how deeply important your feeding journey is—and how vulnerable it can feel when things don’t go as planned.

My approach combines clinical evidence with real-world empathy. I am here to advocate for your body’s capabilities, protect your milk supply through evidence-based practice, and ensure you feel completely supported every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I meet with a CLC before my baby is born?

Most breastfeeding difficulties are far easier to prevent than to fix. Prenatal education helps you understand normal newborn behavior, milk production mechanics, and how to avoid common early pitfalls before pain or stress occurs.

What if my baby needs temporary supplementation?

Your baby’s health is always the top priority. If supplementation is ever medically indicated, we work together to implement techniques—like paced bottle feeding and supply preservation pumping—that protect your milk production so you can safely transition back to full breastfeeding whenever possible.

How does virtual text and voice support work?

Postpartum support should happen when questions actually come up, not just during scheduled visits. You can message me via a secure messaging platform Monday through Friday to get direct, personalized answers to quick questions as you navigate daily feeding routines.

Managing routine separation brings a unique layer Managing routine separation brings a unique layer of stress. Figuring out milk calculation formulas, building a pumping schedule that fits your workday, and maintaining supply can feel daunting.

Supply preservation relies on maintaining regular milk removal frequency based on your body’s individual storage capacity, not arbitrary schedules found online.

My Back-to-Work & Milk Supply Preservation Session is a targeted 45-minute virtual consult where we: 
• Calculate accurate bottle intake amounts based on evidence-based daily needs. 
• Design a realistic, workplace-friendly pumping timeline. • Set up a safe milk storage and transition routine.

Long, chaotic feeds are exhausting for both you an Long, chaotic feeds are exhausting for both you and your baby. While evening cluster feeding can be normal, feeds that consistently stretch past 45 minutes without clear signs of milk transfer are often a red flag. Before assuming your body isn't producing enough, it's essential to look at how efficiently milk is being transferred during a feed.

In a 1-on-1 Virtual Troubleshooting Session, we evaluate feeding mechanics, assess signs of transfer, and build an evidence-based plan to make feeds efficient and comfortable again.

One of the biggest sources of early anxiety for ne One of the biggest sources of early anxiety for new parents is worrying whether baby is getting anything before mature milk comes in, or trying to assemble a complex pump at 2 AM.

In those first few days, your body produces colostrum—thick, nutrient-dense fluid specifically volumes-matched to your newborn’s stomach size (about the size of a marble on Day 1).

In my Prenatal Breastfeeding Success Package, we sit down virtually before your baby arrives so you know: 
• How to measure your nipple diameter for exact flange fit. 
• What the colostrum-to-milk transition actually looks like. 
• How to track normal diaper counts and feeding cues with confidence.

Mild initial tender stretches can happen in the fi Mild initial tender stretches can happen in the first few days. But sharp pain, pinching, creasing, or lipstick-shaped nipples mean tissue is experiencing mechanical friction during milk transfer.

Sometimes this is resolved with simple alignment tweaks (like bringing baby’s chin closer to take in more lower areola). Other times, persistent pain points to underlying oral dysfunction—such as restricted tongue movement or muscle tension—that requires a full structural and functional evaluation.

Pain is a signal that something needs adjusting, not something you have to silently endure.

Crying is actually a LATE sign of hunger! 👇🏻 When Crying is actually a LATE sign of hunger! 👇🏻

When baby is already crying, they’re escalated and frustrated—which makes getting a calm latch or bottle feed so much harder.

Spotting their early cues lets you start feeding while your baby is still calm and ready to work with you:

🟢 Early Cues (Time to feed!):
• Stirring & wiggling awake
• Opening mouth & turning head side-to-side (rooting)
• Smacking lips or licking

🟡 Mid Cues (Getting eager):
• Stretching & increasing physical movements
• Bringing hands to mouth / sucking on fingers

🔴 Late Cues (Calm down first):
• Crying, turning red, body tension

If baby reaches the red zone, try snuggling them skin-to-skin or swaying to soothe them before trying to latch or feed!

It’s super tempting to leave that box sitting in the nursery closet until after baby arrives. But unboxing your pump while sleep-deprived and trying to figure out flange sizing by trial and error is a recipe for total frustration.

In my 1-on-1 Virtual Prenatal Session, we:

• Measure your exact flange size before birth so you have the right parts ready.

• Unbox your specific pump model together and go over every button and setting.

• Build a simple, stress-free routine for your first two weeks home.
