Nurturing Traditions Lactation Services

Nurturing Traditions Lactation Services Leah Segura, IBCLC, RLC offers International Board Certified Lactation Consulting Services to famili I have over 700 hours of continuing education.

I've been working with lactating families in the Midland, MI area for over 15 years. My children are now in their teenage and adult years, but all were breastfed for various lengths of time and through many struggles. Even before I had my own children, I had a passion for working with parents and their babies. My education and experience in social work focused on infant mental health and early child development. I often tell my clients I am NOT the "breastfeeding police." Breastfeeding looks like many different things for many different families, whether it involves exclusive breastfeeding, pumping, bottles, formula, donor milk, etc. My goal is to provide you with the information and support you need to make the best decisions for your family, meet your own feeding goals, and establish a rewarding, confident relationship with your baby. As I have with many clients before you, I will provide a non-judgmental, nurturing, and professional approach to serving your family. Professional growth and continuing education are vital to improve patient outcomes. Areas of specialty include low milk supply, infant colic/reflux, tongue and lip tie/oral rehabilitation, bottle feeding, weaning, and working while lactating.

This 2024 study describes what’s normal for night-waking in nursing babies 6 to 12 months old. Not surprisingly, 97% woke and nursed at least once during the night. It’s reassuring to know that night nursing at this stage is age-appropriate, not the sign of faulty parenting or a sleep disorder.

It's so wasteful!

How long will it take pump companies to get the message they're spending money on the wrong sized "default" flanges included in their pumps??

Breastmilk is so amazing!

New study explores intranasal administration of mother’s milk in babies after hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy?

The rationale is compelling: human milk contains stem cells, growth factors, anti-inflammatory mediators, and neurotrophic factors, and intranasal delivery may allow biologically active components to reach the brain through olfactory pathways.

Treatment tolerated in all 10 babies in this pilot study

Many mechanisms involved in preterm IVH overlap with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in term infants—neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and impaired repair.

Could intranasal mother’s milk become a simple adjunctive neuroprotective therapy for term infants with HIE?
