Kirkland lactation support
Lactation Support in Kirkland from a Physician Who Is Also an IBCLC
When feeding is not going the way you hoped, the usual path is two appointments: a lactation consultant for the latch, then a doctor's visit if something looks medical. In Kirkland, we collapse that into one. Your lactation consultant is a board-certified pediatrician, so if a question turns medical mid-visit, it gets addressed in the same visit.
Pediatrician and IBCLC, in one visit
Care is led by a board-certified pediatrician who is also an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant), so feeding support and medical assessment stay connected.
What a visit covers
A full feeding history, weighted feed if helpful, latch and positioning work, and a plan you can actually follow at 2 a.m. Because your consultant is also a physician, concerns like painful feeding, slow weight gain, or possible infection can be medically assessed in the same appointment, and evidence-based treatment can be discussed without a referral loop.
In your Kirkland home, on your schedule
Hospital breastfeeding centers do good work, but they run on weekday clinic hours and clinic rooms. Feeding problems do not. We come to your home anywhere in Kirkland - Juanita to Houghton - or meet you on secure video, often within days of you reaching out.
Our approach
Evidence-based lactation support is aimed at helping you reach your feeding goals, whether that is exclusive breastfeeding, combination feeding, pumping, or deciding what is sustainable for your family. No single right answer, no pressure, no promise of a specific outcome - just careful assessment and honest options.
