GROW Advanced Lactation Support

GROW is proud to provide Polk County, Florida with the highest standard for lactation support.

At GROW, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive lactation support for new families in Central Florida. One of the most important aspects of my work is to make sure that families feel heard and honored during this new phase, so they are empowered to continue reaching their infant feeding goal. As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I am committed to providing personalized guidance for each family's unique situation, whether that involves breastfeeding, exclusive pumping, formula feeding, or a combination of both. I understand that feeding a newborn can be a challenging and stressful experience, and I am here to provide compassionate and evidence-based support every step of the way.

You can add all the things to your registry…
but you can’t buy your way into a confident feeding journey.

Successful infant feeding isn’t about having the “right” pump, bottle, or gadget.
It’s about understanding your baby, trusting your body, and knowing how to adapt when things don’t go exactly as planned.

Our infant feeding class helps you de-influence your registry — so you’re buying less, stressing less, and feeling more confident before your baby arrives.

We’ll help you sort through the noise, focus on what actually matters, and build trust in your intuition — not a shopping list.

✨ IT’S HERE. ✨
Say hello to GROW’s very own Infant feeding class:
Better Than Basics: Infant Feeding for Modern Families

This is not your mother’s breastfeeding class.

No outdated advice. No rigid rules. No pretending feeding a baby is simple.
This class is for families who want to know what feeding a baby is actually like.

Yes, we’ll cover the basics — positioning, latching, milk production, feeding cues — but we’re also diving into the real-life stuff no one warned you about:
• Bottles & pumping
• Formula & combo feeding
• Pacifiers
• Returning to work
• Troubleshooting when things don’t go as planned
• How partners can actually help

This is practical, up-to-date, evidence-based support — taught with deep respect for your intuition and your goals.

✨ When should you take it?
We recommend attending around 30 weeks of pregnancy (give or take a few weeks) — close enough to feel real, with plenty of time to prepare.

✨ Even better?
Most commercial insurance plans cover this class, making high-quality infant feeding education accessible before your baby arrives.
📅 2026 Class Dates (all classes start at 2 PM):
• February 21
• April 4
• June 27
• August 8
• September 19
• October 31
• December 12

🎟️ Seats are limited.

Because you deserve more than the basics.
You deserve to feel informed, prepared, and confident when it’s time to feed your baby 🤍

Preparing for infant feeding shouldn’t start in the middle of the night with a crying newborn and a Google search. A prenatal feeding assessment with GROW gives you the chance to slow down, ask questions, and build a plan before your baby arrives—when you still have the time, energy, and space to think clearly. We’ll talk through your feeding goals (breastfeeding, pumping, formula, or a combination), identify any health or logistical factors that could impact feeding, and make sure you know what to expect in those first critical days. Families who receive individualized support during pregnancy often experience less stress and fewer urgent feeding issues after birth.
What sets GROW apart is that our support is calm, collaborative, and tailored to you. There’s no one-size-fits-all advice here—just evidence-based guidance that respects your body, your baby, and your priorities. You’ll leave knowing exactly who to contact if questions come up, how to protect your milk supply if feeding feels tricky, and how your partner or support person can truly help. Instead of reacting to problems after they happen, a prenatal assessment helps you feel informed, prepared, and confident walking into parenthood—with a trusted lactation consultant already in your corner. Learn more about our consultants and services on our website, growlakeland.com.

Wondering whether a prenatal infant feeding assessment would actually be helpful for you? 🤍

The biggest benefit of meeting before your baby arrives is clarity. Together, we identify your feeding goal—whether that’s exclusively latching, exclusive pumping, exclusive formula, or a combination that fits your family—and then take an honest look at what might make that goal harder to reach. From there, we build a plan to move through those barriers early and efficiently, not while you’re exhausted and newly postpartum.

Families who receive one-to-one infant feeding support before birth tend to struggle less in those first tender weeks after delivery—and feel more confident navigating whatever feeding journey unfolds.

Not sure if a prenatal visit is right for you?
✨ We’ve made it easy. GROW now offers a free online quiz to help you decide. After you complete it, one of our lactation consultants will personally reach out to review your results and talk through next steps—no pressure, just support.

In the past year, GROW welcomed 287 families into care and supported them through 834 visits. Those numbers matter—not because of growth for growth’s sake, but because each one represents a family who needed steady support in a season that moves fast.
The early years are fleeting, and true village support can feel hard to hold onto. As we step into 2026, our word is Gravity. A commitment to give weight to the foundation—creating support that is grounding, consistent, and strong enough to last.
Not a moment. Not a trend.
A village with weight. A village that holds.
Thank you—for trusting us, supporting us, and helping build this village alongside us. Wishing you and your families so much joy, connection, and ease in 2026. 🤍

New space, same support. GROW is now located inside the SWANN Collaborative at 105 S. Florida Avenue, 33803! We’ll start seeing clients in our new space this Monday, December 1st. We’re still putting the final touches on everything (hello, half-unpacked boxes), but we’re already feeling right at home.

Helping a baby feed well means looking at the whole baby. Yes—many babies latch beautifully in a laid-back position. But if a baby is dealing with muscle tension or difficulty coordinating, pushing that position can make feeding harder. Instead, we accommodate the baby's needs while we treat the underlying issue. As things improve, feeding becomes easier in more ideal positions.

If you’re ready for a feeding plan tailored to your baby—not a one-size-fits-all list—it’s time to work with GROW.
