Real talk? Sometimes you need some one-to-one support.

If your boobs are stealing your peace (and making you spend some quality time with Google at 2 AM), then it may be time to get help from an expert. Breastfeeding can be freakin hard and while babies have natural impulses to nurse (bless), moms still have to learn how to work with their boobs and their babies to breastfeed with confidence and comfort. And, well, it’s pretty normal to need a teacher when we’re learning new things.

You don’t have to grin and bear it.You don’t have to shrug and hope things are fine.And you don’t have to feel like a failure.

Our team of IBCLCs (International Board Certified Lactation Consultants) are here to help troubleshoot issues, clarify techniques, and encourage you in your journey.

We know our shit. And our approach is open handed, non-judgmental, and guilt-free. Most of all, we want to help you feel like the badass mom that you already are.

Yep, I Need That

So HELL YES to you for seeking the support you need.

Our team of IBCLCs can help you navigate and troubleshoot any of these common struggles:

Latching

We’ll check your baby’s latch and help you make adjustments so you and your baby are happy.

Pumping

Positioning

Who knew there were so many positions?? We’ll help you figure out the perfect one for you and baby at this stage!

Pain

Breastfeeding doesn’t have to be painful. Let us help you figure out what’s causing it and how to remedy it.

Milk Supply

From questioning a low supply to navigating a heavy supply, we’ll walk you through how to find balance.

Nipple Confusion

Pacifiers, bottles, breasts, oh my! We can help you with your feeding goals, whatever kind of nipple that includes.

Clogs

Weaning impacts us physically, emotionally, and hormonally. We’d love to support you and your baby in this big transition.

Kelly, RN, IBCLC

I’m here to make breastfeeding easier for you.
When I had my first baby, I thought I was prepared to breastfeed. I’d watched some YouTube videos, read some blogs, and I had worked as a nurse helping pregnant and postpartum families. Honestly, I thought breastfeeding would be … easy?

But, damn, was I wrong. When a tongue tie, repeated mastitis, and cracked nipples became my reality, I was wishing I’d done more to prepare. And that I’d had more support to figure it out! Trying to absorb all the info at the hospital — even with the help of a lactation consultant — was a joke. I was so tired. So overwhelmed. And in so much pain.

I started The Balanced Boob so I could give moms like you what I desperately needed and couldn’t find: a balanced approach to breastfeeding that provides both education and on-going support.

Whether you’re expecting your first or you’ve done this before, my mission is to give you everything you need to breastfeed with confidence and comfort.

Caroline, RN, IBCLC

I’m here to make breastfeeding easier for you.
As a mom to 3 young kids, I know firsthand how important it is to have support as a mom — especially when it comes to breastfeeding!

I’ve worked for 8+ years as a Pediatric RN and have seen so many moms struggle to breastfeed in the hospital. But then they’re sent home to figure it out alone! Which is a lot of pressure when you’re talking about feeding your baby.

So in 2020, I went with my gut and became an IBCLC so I could offer that extra support to moms when they need it most.

I love helping new moms navigate all the challenges of breastfeeding — and mostly, I love leaving them with a sense of peace that everything is going to be OK. If you’re looking for tangible help and real reassurance, then I’m your girl!
