Induced Lactation and Co-Lactation for Queer Parents

Your partner is birthing and you would like to breastfeed your baby.  If your partner is also planning to lactate, then co-lactating is a beautiful way two parents can share in the joys and effort of breastfeeding.  Over the years, co-lactating parents have shared with me their keys to a co-nursing experience that meets the needs of the baby as well as both parents.

Relactation and Back-to-Breast* 

If you birthed your baby but either did not initiate breastfeeding or discontinued lactation and wish to resume, I am here to help -- whether you are most interested in making milk or latching your baby at your breast or both.

*Note:  Relactation is sometimes defined as resuming lactation after a previous lactation, even when resuming lactation for a baby you did not birth.  If you are a non-birthing parent, I am here to support you whether you consider yourself inducing lactation or relactating -- my services are the same.
