I could not have made it through my breast feeding journey without Katie. She went above and beyond for my baby and I and was available whenever I needed her or wanted advice on topics from pacifier use, bottles, amounts my baby should eat, breastfeeding positions, etc. She provided recommendations for local providers and had an in depth knowledge of post tongue tie release procedure. I have and will continue to recommend her to other moms I know, especially ones local to the Denver area!

After a horrible beginning with my daughter as a newborn, her latch was too shallow and extremely painful. Katie was able to get me on track to find the right support I needed to help get her latching correctly and continue our breastfeeding journey until she was 16 months when the pain returned. Katie again helped me troubleshoot the problems and find the solution to the sudden change. When I was ready to give up, she helped counsel me back to sanity and find the right treatment to get us back on track. I'm hopeful that I can keep it up until my daughter is 2 years old now because of her support. I highly recommend her services.

Katie has been super helpful with my breastfeeding experience. She has gone above and beyond to give me the support I need. She also writes out a comprehensive plan based off of our conversations. Also Katie has checked in with me multiple times just to make sure everything is going ok! I highly recommend!!!

Your knowledge and communication was the best gift. Thank you for helping me when I was 6weeks pp returning to work and not knowing how many oz my baby needed. Ans thank you for helping guide me into weaning my baby off the breast shield, your knowledge and communication with me at a time that I felt lost and desperate for answers was the best gift you could have given this mama and baby! We went 18m strong breastfeeding because of your page and advice.

Without Katie’s knowledge and her course, I would have thrown in the towel months ago. She saved my breastfeeding relationship with my daughter, and she is my second breastfed baby!!! Without Katie’s knowledge and this course, I would have thrown in the towel months ago. 10/10 recommend to ANY mom looking to breastfeed.

Hi, there!

I'm Katie

Owner of The Breastfeeding Mama

I know firsthand how difficult breastfeeding can be. While things went fine with my first child, I encountered almost every problem you can imagine with my second – and I fought tooth and nail to make it work. I was fortunate to have a good support network, but I got some misguided advice and had to learn a lot on my own.

This took me on the journey of a lifetime which led me to a place where I love helping other moms no matter what type of help they need. I became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant so I could help others through the ups and downs of breastfeeding. Treating each family with compassion and personalized care is my number one goal. 

I am always learning new techniques and about different topics to better serve more families. I have a passion for oral restrictions, clogged ducts and mastitis, pumping and bottle feeding, and weaning, but I’m equipped to help you with anything you encounter – from first latch to last. 

My philosophy is to find a way to make breastfeeding work for you through compassionate and evidence-based care. I am available for virtual consults worldwide and in office and in-home visits in the Littleton, Colorado area.

Wondering…

I am in network with Aetna, Cigna, and United Healthcare. I also work with The Lactation Network which helps you to get visits approved through most  BCBS, Anthem, and Humana, as well as insurances that have the PNOA and multi-plan symbols.

If your insurance is not covered through TLN, I am able to provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance.

Lactation consults are one of the best ways to identify problems, define your goals, and make a plan to meet them with a professional. I have spent thousands of hours training to be able to meet the unique needs of breastfeeding moms and families.

A consult isn’t just for problems and can be helpful through any stage of breastfeeding! I believe that it’s never too early to seek out help.

I do on a limited basis. Please contact me to get more details.

 

I have trained in a broad spectrum of breastfeeding needs, but I have specialized training in low milk supply, oral restrictions, clogged ducts, pumping, bottle refusal, and flange fitting. I especially love doing prenatal consults!

 

Virtual consults are available worldwide and in-person consults are available in my office in Littleton, CO. Other members of our team will do home visits in the Denver metro area, Evergreen, Conifer, Morrison, and Idaho Springs.  

I do have a limited number of breast pumps available for rental purposes. Please contact me to learn more.

What Bottles I DON'T Recommend as an IBCLC
It may seem a bit simplistic, but I really do believe this. Sometimes, you just need to slow down. Maybe it will help you get a better latch. Maybe it will let you feed more regularly and on demand. Maybe it will just let you bring down your stress levels and enjoy your baby. I get it - there are other kids, work, responsibilities… you can usually take a whole day to just hang out on the couch or on your bed with your baby. But even just an hour can make a difference! So, if you’re feeling stressed or struggling - grab your favorite book (or turn on your favorite TV series), find some snacks, and get a big jug of water, and try to just spend some time with just you and your baby feeding. Deep breaths are always encouraged 🙂 ⭐️ @easyjug is the awesome water bottle in the video above. I think it’s totally brilliant for when your hands are full while nursing (and that’s always with those thirst pangs hit!). It’s specially designed for new moms. My kids thought it was awesome, too! You can use the code thebreastfeedingmama for 10% off ⭐️ Have you found that slowing down has helped your breastfeeding journey? I’d love to hear your tips for doing so, especially in such a fast paced world.

Inito Monitor Review: My Journey with Secondary Infertility and Endometriosis
Free Pain-Free Latch Guide: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/w9t4f5 How often have you been told to make sure your baby’s upper lip was flanged out - with no mention of the bottom? I would venture to guess that’s pretty common. And whenever I have someone tell me, “Well, such and such told me the latch is good, but it’s still so painful!” - 9 times out of 10, that bottom lip is curled in. You see - a good latch involves more than just an upper lip. You need the whole mouth to be WIDE and that bottom lip needs to be flanged out. We are looking for a 140 degree angle. And honestly, the upper lip can even be in a more neutral (not tucked in) position. That bottom lip though… flanged is important. When it’s not flanged out and the gape is more narrow, this leads to: ⭐️ Pain ⭐️ Fatigue ⭐️ Less ability to draw out milk ⭐️ Slipping off the breast Have you struggled with this? Let me know below!
Latching trouble? Check that bottom lip.
