Held Lactation provides in-home visits in Baltimore City and surrounding counties, as well as virtual care for families anywhere in the United States.

I work with families feeding in all kinds of ways—breastfeeding, bottle feeding, pumping, combo feeding, and everything in between. Visits are practical, focused, and shaped around what’s actually happening in your day-to-day life.

Common reasons families reach out include:

• Latch difficulty
• Nipple soreness
• Milk supply concerns
• Pumping & flange fitting
• Engorgement
• Plugged ducts
• Mastitis
• Poor infant weight gain
• Jaundice
• Breast refusal
• Bottle refusal
• Feeding multiples
• Tongue & lip tie support

Babywearing is also part of care when helpful, especially for soothing, positioning, and making feeding and daily routines feel more manageable.

Whether we meet in your home or virtually, the goal is simple: to help feeding feel more workable, and to help you feel more confident in what you’re doing.
