Serving families in Bellevue and Redmond with expert lactation consultations and infant feeding support.
Breastfeeding is one of the most natural and beneficial ways to nourish your baby, but it doesn’t always come easily. At ThriveLatch (part of Thrive Pediatric Medical Group), we understand the challenges new mothers face. That’s why we offer personalized care through our dedicated lactation consultant for infant feeding support. We provide seamless, holistic care for families in Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, and the greater Eastside—without the need for external referrals.
Why Lactation Support Matters
Breastfeeding offers significant benefits for both mothers and babies:
✔ Reduces baby’s risk of infections, asthma, obesity, and SIDS
✔ Lowers the mother’s risk of breast and ovarian cancer, and postpartum depression
✔ Supports strong emotional bonding and long-term health
Yet, 60–80% of mothers experience challenges in the early weeks. Early breastfeeding support makes a crucial difference.
Common and Lactation Infant Feeding Issues We Help With
Our lactation consultant offers hands-on help for:
✔ Difficulty latching
✔ Low or oversupply of milk
✔ Nipple pain or discomfort
✔ Baby’s weight gain concerns
✔ Pumping transitions and challenges
Whether you need help with positioning, supply, or feeding techniques, we tailor our support to meet your individual needs.
