Danielle Tropea, MPH, IBCLC

With over 10 years of experience in hospital and private practice settings, I provide personalized, compassionate care to support families through every stage of their breastfeeding journey. Whether you’re preparing during pregnancy, addressing latch or milk supply challenges, or navigating weaning, I offer evidence-based guidance tailored to your unique needs and goals. My approach prioritizes not only your baby’s well-being but also your mental health, ensuring that feeding plans align with what feels sustainable and empowering for you.

I specialize in advanced techniques, including precise flange sizing for comfortable and effective pumping, and thorough tongue-tie assessment to address feeding difficulties. With a focus on balancing breastfeeding goals with mental health, I aim to create feeding plans that nurture both you and your baby. As a mom of two, whom I breastfed for a combined 6.5 years, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to my work. With a Master of Public Health (MPH) and a passion for equitable and compassionate care, I’m here to help make your breastfeeding journey as positive and fulfilling as possible.
