Meet Elizabeth! ✨

One of our powerhouses on the team - you can find Elizabeth all over the Kansas area serving our clients, as well as taking consults from our satellite location inside of Village Pediatrics!

She’s known for her calm, empowering approach and the way she makes families feel truly supported. Read more about Elizabeth here ⤵️

"I recently moved to the Kansas City area from Little Rock, Arkansas, where I worked for the last seven years as a lactation consultant, in both the hospital and outpatient care setting. In addition to two very different breastfeeding experiences with my boys, I bring 15 years of experience as a registered nurse to my clients, with experience in mother-baby and NICU. Through my experiences, I quickly found my true passion in the education and empowerment of breastfeeding mothers.

I recognize that every family’s breastfeeding journey is a unique and individual one, and I am committed to helping each client achieve their goals by tailoring care to meet their needs. Through an empathetic and nurturing approach, my role as an IBCLC will always be one of guidance, support and education.

I earned a B.S. in Health Education from the University of Arkansas (2008) and B.S.N. from the University of Missouri (2010). I have also served as a childbirth and prenatal class instructor, staff educator, and have extensive work in hospital quality and community health initiatives. When I’m not discussing all things breastfeeding, I look forward to exploring KC with my husband and two boys."

✨ Starting Solids: A Journey, Not a Race ✨

Introducing solids isn’t just about nutrition — it’s about curiosity, exploration, and connection. As a lactation consultant, I remind parents that milk or formula remains your baby’s primary source of nutrition in the first year. Solids are the fun, messy, and important addition — not a replacement. 🍼🌿

Some things to keep in mind:

Watch your baby’s readiness cues, not the calendar.

Let them explore textures and flavors — messy = learning!

Follow responsive feeding: they decide what, how much, and when to eat.

Repetition builds comfort and confidence — there’s no “perfect first food.”

Every baby’s journey is unique. Solids are part of a bigger story: bonding, learning, and discovering the world one bite at a time. Celebrate the small wins, and remember — you’ve got this, mama. 🫶

If you’re looking for guidance with introducing solids, we help with that!
Call, text, or email us — we’d love to support your feeding journey from first latch to first bites. 💚

Meet Morgan 🌿

Morgan is the first person to join the Nurture Lactation team and she has been a beacon of light every step of the way - her infectious smile and tender heart makes everyone's day a little brighter! ✨

Read more about Morgan here ⤵️

"In 2017, I graduated nursing school with anticipation and excitement to start my career as an RN in Labor/Delivery/Mother/Baby. I loved being present with laboring mothers, and observing and assisting in births. During this time, I found myself truly enjoying those nights on the postpartum unit helping nursing mothers breastfeed. Between this experience and the very difficult experience of breastfeeding and later exclusively pumping for my daughter, I decided I wanted to pursue the IBCLC certification. I feel incredibly blessed that I have the privilege of getting to help moms in this time of their lives!"

🍼 Let’s Talk Bottle Feeding — From a Lactation Consultant’s Perspective 🍼

Whether you’re exclusively pumping, combo-feeding, supplementing, or offering an occasional bottle so you can actually shower — bottle feeding can be a healthy, supported part of your feeding journey. 💛

As a team of IBCLCs, here’s what we focus on when supporting bottle-feeding families:

✅ Paced bottle feeding to protect baby’s ability to self-regulate
✅ Appropriate flow rates (slow doesn’t mean “not enough” — it means safer + less stress!)
✅ Ni**le shapes that support oral development and mirror breastfeeding mechanics
✅ Responsive feeding cues, so baby stays in control
✅ Guilt-free supplementation, when needed, to keep both baby and parent thriving

Bottle feeding is not “less than.” It’s not a detour. It’s a tool — and when done thoughtfully, it supports bonding, growth, and feeding success.

Feeding your baby in a way that works for your family matters more than anything else. 💛

If you’re unsure where to start, or something feels off, we can help.

Fed is supported. Fed is responsive. Informed is best.

Meet Sarah — the heart behind Nurture Lactation. 💚

She’s the owner of Nurture Lactation and the driving force behind our mission of inclusive, compassionate support for every family.

Read more about her here ⤵️

"After my oldest child was born, we struggled with breastfeeding. I had not prepared, but assumed I’d be okay since my mom had been successful. That was a terrible assumption. My journey nursing my son led to a passion to educate and help other families in their own infant feeding journey.

With over 4 years of personal breastfeeding experience, ultimately leading me to become an IBCLC, I know the real life ins and outs of feeding a baby. From the first days, to being a working, pumping mom, to weaning and everything in between, I’m passionate about it because I’ve lived it. My passion for lactation led me to opening Nurture Lactation in 2019, initially focusing on education, then individual consults.

In addition to being an IBCLC, I hold a Bachelor’s in Organizational Communications and Spanish from William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri. Yes, that means I speak Spanish as well! I continue to build my lactation education through various training and continuing education so that I may serve families with the most updated evidence-based research. I share knowledge and information so that you can make the best informed decision for your family’s needs."
