Betsy Hoffmeister, IBCLC

I help families with everything from damaged nipples, plugged ducts, engorgement, mastitis, low milk supply, tongue tie, oversupply, adoptive breastfeeding, nursing post-cesarean, chestfeeding, bottle feeding, flange fitting, and nursing twins, to tandem nursing siblings of different ages, introducing solids, toddler nursing, and weaning. I combine my experience and pragmatic, loving support with a sense of humor to make breastfeeding and chestfeeding the joyful, normal part of your life that it should be. I am fat positive, LGBTQIA+ inclusive, and trauma informed. When I am not helping new families, I am most likely to be knitting, cooking or gardening while listening to an audiobook, or birdwatching.

Typical newborn issues, tongue tie, nipple health, low milk supply, herbs for milk supply, infant reflexes, flange fitting, pumping, returning to work, bottle feeding, twins and multiples, supplemental feeding at chest or breast.
