Why I Care for Families the Way I do

I used to see four to five families a day, then spend my evenings charting. I loved the work, but I always left wishing I'd had more time to really sit with each family.

So I changed how I do things. Now I take the time to get to know you, your baby, and all the little details that make your story yours. And my care doesn't stop when the appointment ends. If you need a pump or flanges in a hurry, I'll bring them. If you need donor milk, I'll make the drive. If you want to watch your baby's weight from home, I'll drop off a scale.

Breastfeeding can change from one day to the next, so I make sure you're never on your own. I keep space open in my calendar and I'm here for you 24/7, because you shouldn't have to wait for an opening to get help.

You deserve to feel cared for, never rushed. 🩷

As a mom to a large family, I have been where you are.

Late-night Googling. Sorting through advice from friends and family. Wondering if what you're feeling is normal—and still not quite getting the support you need.

I know that feeling because I've lived it.

I struggled to find breastfeeding support with my first baby. It wasn't until my seventh that I finally found the hands-on help I'd been looking for all along.

That journey shapes how I care for families today. Feeding doesn't always look the way we imagined—and every mama, baby, and family has their own story.

Whether your goal is breastfeeding, pumping, supplementing, donor milk, formula, or some combination, I'm here to support you without judgment or agenda.

Your goals are the ones that matter. My role is to meet you where you are and help you feel confident, supported, and cared for.

  • “Working with Kelly was wonderful! She was such a calming and reassuring presence in our home at a time when stress and sleep deprivation were high. She clearly provided information and patiently answered our questions and listened to our concerns. I think a consultation is a must for any new mom or any mom experiencing new nursing issues. Our breastfeeding experience went so smoothly after her consultation, and it set us up for months of successful nursing!”

  • Kelly is extremely knowledgeable, supportive and kind. She helped tremendously before and at the start of my breastfeeding journey. She is a wealth of knowledge and I would absolutely recommend her!

    —Former Client

  • I can not recommend Mama Baby Lactation enough! She helped us get through those super difficult first few weeks. Her tips, tricks, advice and care are a big reason we were able to continue to breastfeed. I honestly don't think we could have gotten here without her help. Almost seven months and still going strong. Thank you!!!

    —Former Client

  • She deserves more than 5 stars. My wife and I had a baby with a severe tongue tie and she has been so supportive and generous with her knowledge. My wife and our son has thrived due to the help from Kelly and the team of people who have been recommended by her. We couldn’t recommend her more. Worth every penny and every mile driven!
