Real answers, not another list of tips
When feeding isn't going the way you hoped, you deserve more than guesswork.
Our lactation consultants take time to understand what's happening, what you've tried, and what matters to your family.
Latch and feeding comfort
Thoughtful guidance with positioning, latch, and feeding technique.
Milk transfer and supply
A fuller look at feeding effectiveness, supply questions, and next steps.
Pumping and bottles
Practical support for pumping, bottle feeding, and combination feeding.
A plan that fits real life
Care designed around your goals, your baby, and your daily routine.
You don't have to know exactly what to ask before reaching out. That's what we're here for.
CHECK MY INSURANCE BENEFITSWhat happens at your consultation
We're not just going to watch a feeding and send you on your way.
We look at the whole feeding picture: how your baby feeds, latch and milk transfer, oral function when relevant, your milk supply, pumping and bottles, and the questions you want answered.
We'll explain what we're seeing, why it matters, and what to do next.
What you'll leave with
A clear next step, not more overwhelm.
✓
A realistic plan
Practical recommendations designed to work at home, not just during the visit.
✓
Continued support
A coordinated virtual follow-up when appropriate, so you can review progress and refine the plan.

Nichole McCloy
RN, IBCLC · FOUNDER & OWNER
Nichole is a registered nurse, IBCLC, and mother of three whose own breastfeeding challenges shaped her commitment to helping families feel heard and supported. After years in labor and delivery nursing, she built a growing lactation practice in Texas and founded Abundant Lactation to extend that thoughtful approach to families in New England.
A note from our founder
New England has always had my heart.
I grew up in Maine, and even though my life and lactation practice are now rooted in Texas, New England has never stopped feeling like home. I know how much it matters to have someone show up when feeding your baby is harder than you expected.
I created Abundant Lactation because families here deserve compassionate, experienced support without having to navigate everything alone. By pairing Kaylee's hands-on care in your home with Catharine's thoughtful virtual follow-up, we can offer continuity, practical guidance, and a team that's truly invested in your journey.
