When feeding is painful, uncertain, or simply taking up too much space in your day, you deserve calm, personal support that starts with what is happening in your family.
Book a consultation
Breastfeeding can bring tender, ordinary questions and deeply stressful ones, sometimes in the same afternoon. Maybe your baby is feeding often and you are not sure what is normal. Maybe latching hurts, pumping feels harder than expected, or every search seems to lead to a different answer. The most useful help is rarely another list of rules. It is time with someone who can listen, look at the details, and help you decide what to try next.
Liz Chang, BSC, IBCLC, CLC, has supported expecting and new families since 2013. Her care is direct, reassuring, and shaped around your goals, whether you are breastfeeding, pumping, combination feeding, returning to work, or figuring out how to make the next feed feel less difficult. Consultations are available in English and Spanish.
Your questions can be practical, emotional, or both. There is room to talk about what feeding has been like so far, the advice that has not felt right, and the kind of support that would make daily life feel more sustainable.
Share what you are noticing, what you have already tried, and what you hope will feel different after the appointment.
Depending on your needs, Liz can observe a feed, talk through positioning and latch, review pumping, or help you make sense of newborn feeding patterns.
Get a plan that fits your baby, your body, your support circle, and the realities of your actual day.
A consultation is not a test, and you do not need to arrive with a perfect feeding log or a polished list of questions. Start with the concern that led you here. Liz can help you notice what is working, understand what may deserve a closer look, and practice adjustments that are realistic for your family.
Common reasons parents book include breast or nipple discomfort, a shallow or difficult latch, questions about milk transfer, frequent feeding, pumping comfort, flange questions, milk supply concerns, bottle or combination-feeding decisions, and planning for work or travel. Parents also book when they would simply feel better having an experienced person see the full picture.
When a weighted feed is helpful, Liz can use a specialized medical scale to look at milk transfer before and after feeding. If a concern calls for medical care or another provider, she can help you understand the next conversation to have. The aim is never to make feeding look a certain way, it is to help your family find a more manageable path.
For families in San Jose, Santa Clara, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, and nearby communities, an in-home consultation makes space to look at feeding in the environment where it is actually happening. You do not have to pack up a newborn, recreate your setup from memory, or pretend the day is more orderly than it is.
Liz confirms home-visit availability and travel fees for your address before care is arranged. If travel is not practical, or if video care fits your day better, 30-minute and 40-minute virtual consultations offer personal guidance without needing a home visit.
Not sure which route is best? Booking is a good starting point. You can choose the support that feels closest to your needs, then share your questions and practical constraints so the right next step is clear.
See what an in-home consultation includes →Many parents wait until they are exhausted or worried to ask for support. You are welcome to reach out earlier. A prenatal conversation can give you room to talk through newborn feeding, hand expression, pumping, milk storage, bottles, a return-to-work plan, or the experience you had with a previous baby. Preparing before birth does not mean trying to control every outcome. It means knowing what you want to ask, what support could look like, and where to turn if the early days feel harder than expected.
After birth, your needs may change quickly. A feeding issue might feel urgent one day and more manageable the next. Individual support gives you a place to slow down, ask the smaller questions alongside the big ones, and make a plan that can change with your baby. If your baby is difficult to wake for feeds, has signs of dehydration, has fewer wet diapers than expected, seems unwell, or you are concerned about weight gain, contact your baby’s healthcare team promptly. Lactation care can work alongside medical care, but it is not a substitute for urgent assessment.
Explore prenatal lactation supportYou do not have to wait for feeding to become overwhelming. Many parents reach out when feeding hurts, latching is difficult, pumping feels confusing, they are unsure about milk transfer, or they simply want an experienced person to look at the whole picture. A consultation can also be useful before baby arrives.
