About me

Hi, I’m Julie Baumgartner, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with more than 30 years of healthcare experience and a Master’s in Healthcare Administration. I became a lactation consultant after facing my own breastfeeding challenges and wanting to help families navigate theirs with nonjudgmental, evidence-based care. So, whether you're dealing with latch pain, low milk supply, tongue or lip tie concerns or need help with a pumping plan or preparing to go back to work, I’m here to help. You don't have to this alone because with breastfeeding sometimes; it's natural, not easy...
