Everything is hard before it’s easy — especially when you’re learning together.
Feeding is a learning curve for both you and your baby, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Check the comments for some ni**le nuance from our Lactation Staff 😘Breastfeeding can feel like an epic b**b battle where your nips are on the front lines, but bleeding, cracking, and pain should not be part of the journey.

Breastfeeding has a learning curve for both you and your baby, and latching issues, tension, anatomy differences, and so much more can lead to painful, cracked ni**les.

If you are experiencing these or any infant feeding struggles do not hesitate to give us a call at 413-344-2800. We are here to help.

Feeding isn’t always intuitive—and that doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.

If you’re noticing any of these, it’s okay (and encouraged) to reach out for support. Support isn’t just about milk. It’s about healthy babies and healthy parents.

✨ Asking for help early can prevent stress, pain, and burnout
✨ Support can look like reassurance, small adjustments, or a full feeding plan
✨ You don’t have to wait until you’re overwhelmed

🧡 You’re welcome to book a consult whenever you’re ready. Our services are 100% free for families. Text or call (413) 344-2800 to get started

Wow! You showed up — and families will feel it.

Together, our community raised $37,755 for families (including a $15,000 match from a generous anonymous donor) to support parents and babies across Berkshire County!

Because of you, parents will have trusted support, evidence-based care, and someone in their corner during one of the most vulnerable seasons of life.

You made this happen! We’re so grateful to be in this with you.

"April came over shortly after I got home with Arya and assisted me with my latch, weighing her to see how much she eats in a feeding and also getting me situated with my pump. The early on assistance really helped me feel more aware and prepared mentally with support for my breastfeeding journey." - RuthAnn

We are so happy to help support you and your family.
If you're pregnant or have feeding questions, message us 24/7 to get started!
