Lactation Liz

I'm Liz Levy- an experienced NICU nurse and IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant)- here to help with all your breastfeeding needs!

I do prenatal and postnatal consultations and specialize in oral ties and dysfunction. Congratulations on choosing to breastfeed your little one! Breastfeeding is a natural process but it is also a learning experience for both mom and baby. Studies have shown that mothers are more successful with breastfeeding if they have professional support from a certified lactation consultant. I graduated from the University of Kansas with degrees in Human Biology and Nursing. I have been a Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) nurse since 2010 and have been working as a Lactation Consultant since 2012. I am a Registered Nurse (RN), a Certified Breastfeeding Educator (CBE) and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I have always been passionate about breastfeeding and believe that every family deserves the right to give their baby the best start in life. My goal is to help you reach your goals. Each family is different and I pride myself on being able to tailor my services to what works best for your life. I offer private prenatal breastfeeding classes as well as in-home breastfeeding consultations. I look forward to working with you and your family! Specialties:
-Latch issues
-Premature infants
-Multiples
-Special situations (Trisomy 21, cleft lip/palate and other medical complications)
-Exclusive pumping/bottle feeding
-Returning to work (pumping, breastmilk storage, etc)
-Low milk supply/over supply
-Breast conditions (inverted nipples, previous breast surgeries, engorgement, plugged ducts, etc)

It’s Testimonial Tuesday!

💖 “Our little guy has had a hard 6 weeks of his life with a lip and tongue tie, colicky because of it and some other health scares. We’ve felt so supported having Liz on our team and she’s recommended other great people to work with as well. She’s super knowledgeable about all things ties and lactation. Can’t recommend Liz enough! She’s been a great support!” - Michelle

🤱 I’d love to support you too! Contact me today to start feeling more confident in feeding your baby 🩷

🤱 Feeding felt easy enough in the early months… until one day it just doesn’t. Maybe your baby is fussy at the breast, distracted, refusing bottles, or something just doesn’t feel quite right. You know your baby and your gut is usually right!

🚩 Grab my FREE checklist of feeding red flags for babies 3 months and older. It’ll help you sort out what’s normal and what deserves a closer look - 🔗 in bio!

✨ If a few of these signs sound familiar, go ahead and book a consult with me. You shouldn’t have to wait for things to get worse before you get answers!

I recently had the pleasure of presenting “Finding Your Flow: Bottle Feeding Strategies to Support Breastfeeding” to the fabulous group! We had a great time talking about all the ways postpartum doulas can assist parents in making bottle feeding decisions to help improve their baby’s oral function as well as support breastfeeding. I can’t wait to work with more of their clients knowing they’re getting such wonderful support already!

✨ Is your doula group interested in this type of education as well? Contact me today to ask about scheduling a presentation! Other topics are also available or I can create a lecture tailored to your group’s specific needs.

I have heard from a lot of families who recently lost SNAP benefits or who have had other hardships and I know that can make budgeting extra tight. If this is something your household is navigating, I now have a Community Rate available for consults.

No explanation needed. Just ask at booking.

Everyone deserves support ❤️

It’s Testimonial Tuesday!

✨ “Liz is fantastic. She got me through pumping and bottle feeding, triple feeding, and all the way to exclusively breastfeeding! She helped us find the right providers for tongue/lip tie releases and helped us get my son‘s releases done. She also helped us with aftercare post release. Liz is quick to answer any questions we have. Her in-office visits were always informative and helpful, and she took the time that we needed to work with us on whatever. She is very talented. I cannot recommend her enough!” -Breanna

Bottle refusal can be one of the most stressful challenges for families! A baby who won’t take a bottle isn’t being stubborn, picky, or difficult. Most bottle feeding challenges have to do with how their mouth and tongue are working, not behavior.

✨ That’s where I come in! ✨

I now offer BOTTLE FEEDING CONSULTS for babies under 6 months! During this visit, I’ll:
🍼Assess your baby’s oral function and feeding skills
🍼Observe a bottle feeding and identify what the issues are
🍼Create and individualized step-by-step plan for your family
🍼Provide unlimited follow-up support through secure messaging

💕You don’t have to struggle with bottle feeding alone!!

🚩 Are your newborn’s feedings normal or a sign that you need extra help? 🚩

Some challenges are normal in the early days but others are red flags that you or your baby need some additional support. I’ve put together a new FREE checklist of newborn feeding red flags so you can spot potential issues early and know when to reach out for help.

Download it from my website - 🔗 in bio!

Your baby’s feeding journey matters and you don’t have to figure it out alone! 💕
