Our lactation support team has been working to help mothers meet their breastfeeding goals for over 33 years. All of our lactation consultants are IBCLC certified, and most are registered nurses with a focus on newborn care.
Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, home visits and Pump Station “in office” visits are not available at this time. However, we are currently offering virtual video appointments with our lactation team to support you in meeting your breastfeeding goals on Charm EHR. Please note that Charm is HIPPA COMPLIANT, which means it is a safe platform to exchange your secure, confidential and protected personal information. Many platforms being used are NOT HIPPA compliant thus pose risks with regards to privacy and confidentiality. We offer a variety of consultations, to help you determine what you need, we've provided some guidelines:
Schedule a 55 minute consult if:
- Your baby is less than 2 weeks old
- You’re having any latch or breastfeeding issues
- Going back to work and looking for a customized plan of care
- You have plugged ducts or mastitis
- You have concerns re: Milk supply
- Your baby is not gaining weight
- Engorgement
- Nursing without a nipple shield
- You have nipple pain

During this crazy time (you know, pandemic!) I have been really struggling with breastfeeding and am still working on it. Sadly, since we're being extra cautious because of the little guy we didn't want to have anyone come to our home. Which really makes it difficult when you have a newborn that isn't latching well, sore nipples, and 1,000 questions. Long story long I found Allison through the pump station and man I am forever grateful. I have had several video chats with her where we worked on everything from breastfeeding, pumping, nipple cracks & pain to napping and sleep issues. She has been a huge help and so responsive and patient with all of my first time mom questions and concerns. I will definitely be recommending The Pump Station to any and all of my mom-to-be friends!
