Personalized breastfeeding support in the comfort of your home, for the questions that feel hardest to sort through alone.
When feeding is uncomfortable, confusing, or taking more out of you than expected, it can be hard to know what advice to trust. An in-home consultation gives you dedicated time with Liz Chang, BSC, IBCLC, CLC, right in the space where you and your baby are learning together.
There is no need to pack a bag, time a feed around a drive, or explain your whole setup from memory. Liz can see the chair you use, the pump parts on your counter, the pillow arrangement that is not quite working, and the small details that often make a big difference.
Her approach is calm, direct, and centered on your goals. Whether you hope to breastfeed, pump, combination feed, return to work, or simply make the next feeding feel more manageable, you will have room to ask the questions that matter to your family.

Every visit is shaped around what is happening now, not a one-size-fits-all checklist. Liz brings practical experience, evidence-based guidance, and the time to look closely at the concerns behind your questions.
Many parents are doing everything they can and still feel unsure. You may be wondering whether your baby is transferring milk, whether a latch should feel this painful, why pumping is not matching your expectations, or whether frequent feeding is normal. Online advice can be helpful, but it cannot watch a feed, understand your recovery, or account for the rhythm of your real day.
During a home visit, Liz takes the time to understand the full picture. She can observe how your baby comes to the breast, listen for swallowing, talk through newborn cues, and help you adjust your setup in a way that feels sustainable. When a weighted feed is useful, she uses a specialized medical scale to assess milk transfer before and after feeding.
The goal is not to hand you a rigid set of rules. It is to help you understand what is happening, recognize what is already working, and leave with a plan that feels possible at the next feed, not just in theory.
Feeding concerns rarely show up at a convenient time. You may be working around a newborn who wants to eat often, a toddler who needs attention, a partner trying to help, recovery that is still tender, or a return-to-work date that is getting closer. In-home care makes space for the context that can disappear in a rushed appointment.
Liz starts by hearing what has been happening and what you hope will feel different after the visit. You can bring up the big concern that made you reach out, along with the smaller questions that have been building in the background. There is room to look at feeding positions, pump settings, bottle questions, breast comfort, milk storage, feeding logs, or the practical challenge that has been making your day harder.
Rather than asking you to perform a picture-perfect feed, the visit is designed to work with the moment you are in. Your baby may be calm, fussy, sleepy, hungry, or somewhere in between. Liz helps you make useful observations and adjustments while keeping the focus on what will support you once the visit is over.
You are also welcome to share what has already been tried, what advice has felt confusing, and what matters most to you as a parent. That context helps turn a long list of feeding information into guidance you can actually use at home.
By the end, you should have a clearer sense of what to try next, what signs to watch for, and when additional care would be helpful. If another provider needs to be involved, Liz can help you understand the next conversation to have. You do not have to leave with every future question answered, only with a more manageable path forward.
Liz has supported expecting and new families for more than 13 years in private practice, hospitals, clinics, support groups, and lactation programs. As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and Certified Lactation Counselor, she brings deep clinical knowledge with a reassuring, human approach.
Her care is bilingual in English and Spanish, and she works with families across many feeding paths. Some parents want a plan before their baby arrives. Others need prompt, hands-on help once they are home. Both deserve thoughtful support that respects their values, culture, and capacity.
In-home care is especially helpful when you are recovering from birth, navigating a C-section, caring for older children, or feeling too tired to make another appointment outside the house. You do not need to have every detail figured out before you reach out.

Clear answers before you book.
Liz begins by listening to what has been happening and what you would most like help with. She can observe a feeding, assess positioning and latch, answer pumping questions, and use a weighted feed when it is helpful to better understand milk transfer. You leave with clear next steps shaped around your family.
You can reach out before your baby arrives or at any point after birth. Many parents book when feeding is painful, latching is difficult, pumping feels confusing, they are worried about milk supply or weight gain, or they simply want a calm, experienced set of eyes in the early days.
Yes. Recovery can make feeding positions, comfort, and rest feel especially important. A home visit gives you room to find a setup that works for your body, your baby, and the stage of recovery you are in.
Absolutely. Feeding support works best when the people around you understand the plan, too. Partners and support people are welcome to ask questions, learn practical ways to help, and leave knowing what to look for between feeds.
