Lactation Care  

NOTE: Due to an extremely busy schedule, lactation support is currently only available for doula clients.
I recommend contacting either Rachel Baggett www.RachelsLactationConsulting.com or First Steps at Southview  ketteringhealth.org/services/maternity/breastfeeding-resources/

There are more lactation support resources on the birth and breastfeeding support page under community resources.

Leanna, certified breastfeeding specialist

I’m Leanna. I’m a lactation specialist in the Dayton, Ohio area. I have been a lactation specialist since 2014. My degree is in health sciences. I graduated from Sinclair in 2018. My lactation training is through Lactation Education Resources where I have earned the credential certified breastfeeding specialist in 2014 and again in 2021.
 
I enjoy teaching women about all stages of women’s health across the lifespan. The breastfeeding journey is so precious, but not always an easy path to navigate. There are so many questions. There is so much information out there on the internet and conflicting info can be so overwhelming. I understand you want to give your baby the best nutrition. I offer accurate and evidence-based education, support navigating and overcoming lactation obstacles, and help reaching that family’s individual feeding goals.

What can I help you with? 

Here are some things that I support.
  • Prenatal Q&A
  • Visits shortly after birth
  • Positioning
  • Latch
  • Engorgement
  • Mastitis
  • Milk supply questions and concerns
  • Teaching how to establish a good milk supply  
  • Helping get connected to local resources and peer support
  • Help with supplementation
  • Counseling through weaning
  • Supporting lactation or drying up milk supply after the loss of a baby
  • Re-lactation and induced lactation
  • And other breastfeeding bumps in the road
 
If a matter is beyond my scope of practice, I work collaboratively with your healthcare team to support your infant feeding goals. If a mother or baby needs an IBCLC, I have several in the area that I refer to. Infants who are hospitalized or mothers and babies with complex medical issues and lactation issues likely need to be cared for by an IBCLC and may need an entire healthcare team. Babies – like adults – sometimes need to see their primary care provider and consult with specialists. If a family I’ve been working with needs to be referred to a higher level of lactation professional, I continue to provide lactation care as long as the mother wishes for my care to be included in her care team.

Fees

Lactation support is $150.

What does that include?
  • Pre-consultation over the phone before the appointment
  • An in-person consultation
  • A flat fee – I do not charge by the hour
  • No time restraints. If you need support for 30 minutes, that’s okay. If you need a 2-hour visit, that’s okay.
  • The convenience of someone coming to you – All appointments are in your home. Don’t worry about cleaning. You can even stay in your pajamas if you want.
  • Follow-up appointments in-person when needed
  • Follow-up over the phone when you need it – traditional business hours, evenings, weekends, and even during the night (really, I will talk to you at midnight if that’s what you need in that moment)
  • We will work together until the problem is resolved or the issues are managed and momma is satisfied with the plan of ongoing management.

Service area of western Ohio

I am located in western Clark County.
