Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in Middlesex, NC

I'm Kathleen. I am passionate about all things pregnancy, birth and postpartum. My desire is to be and help create "a village" of support for new moms. Sometimes this is physically helping out families in the home, or it may also be taking your call to answer one of the thousands of questions that you have in the first few weeks. And the moments I want to be there for the most are the ones you think aren't important enough to share or you think it's just you. As your doula, It is my desire that you feel fully empowered and supported in your own personal postpartum journey. Free from judgement or pressure.

Latch Makers was created out of love for moms and breastfeeding. We want to walk alongside moms for all stages of breastfeeding to support and empower them to comfortably and confidently feed their babies in whatever method they choose. We believe that all moms should have access to affordable lactation services.

Hey there! My name is Naomi Carrington. I am a Certified Birth and Postpartum doula, Breastfeeding Counselor and Childbirth Educator in Louisburg, serving the greater Raleigh Triangle area. I'm passionate about childbirth, mamas, and babies, and I've dedicated my life to helping families experience a birth and postpartum beyond their expectations. Birth does not have to be seen as a fearful thing, but something women were designed for. Living overseas has helped to shape who I am today and the services I offer. Over the past few years I have mainly attended home births which is my 'happy place'. But no matter where you plan to deliver, I guide my clients in preparing both their minds and bodies for labor and offer full informed support of their choices. A few things that I impart to families are: education, the importance of body balancing, whole food diet and mental preparedness. Knowledge is power and a big part of what I do. Over the years, I have attended over 70 births and taught several classes. In my free time you can find me reading, working out, enjoying an iced coffee, working in the garden, with our many animals or cooking in the kitchen. I am from a big family and love making memories with them! I'd love to connect and discuss how we can meet your goals for your dream birth, postpartum or class experience!

Having grown up in Vermont, I was always around breastfeeding mothers, clean living, and being part of a village for new parents. Upon moving to North Carolina in 2015, I realized the silver lining that was missing in childcare- a cohesive option for care for the newest of babies to any age child, while providing a balance of education, nurturing, and love to the parents. I have a wide variety of experience and certifications in pregnancy, labor, birth, and early parenting. I bring passion and expertise to each and every family she serves. My interest in postpartum work was sparked when my little sister was born; I truly believed that this sweet angel was brought into this world as my baby. From this moment on, I knew she had to work with babies and families in some fashion. Essentially, Elise did not choose the doula/nanny life, the doula/nanny life chose her. I offer a variety of services including: Elise brings a variety of experience, education, and certifications to your family: DONA certified birth doula DONA certified postpartum doula Rebozo certified Sleep Consultant Certified Nursing Assistant Family Coach Nanny Placement

Hi! My name is Heather Carreon. I am a Registered Nurse and IBCLC. I have over 10 years experience with postpartum mothers and infants. I live in Clayton, NC with my husband 3 children. Although I had knowledge as a lactation consultant and postpartum nurse, my personal breastfeeding experience as a new mother was definitely an educational process. I struggled in various ways with my own infants and sought help from colleagues. My personal journey has given me a new and relatable perspective about the breastfeeding challenges mothers face. Without tailored guidance in the early weeks, breastfeeding can be very frustrating. My aim is to provide you with compassionate support and education to help families reach their breastfeeding goals.

I'm an experienced IBCLC who has a passion for finding -and working to resolve- root causes. I love "lactation detective work" for complex cases and I love grounding myself in the biological norm as a blueprint for breastfeeding. I work hard to be inclusive in my practice in every way possible. I have especially deep dived into issues surrounding tongue tie and low milk supply. I have 4 kids who have helped me understand, more than anything, that there is more than one "right" way to parent. I believe in the instincts of the parents I work with and always honor their place as the primary member(s) of the infant feeding team.
