Comprehensive Breastfeeding Support

Expert guidance for all aspects of breastfeeding, including positioning, latch, milk transfer, and developing feeding plans. Available through in-home or office visits with Dr. Homan.

Painful breastfeeding

Are you experiencing pain with nursing? The problem could be as simple as positioning, but sometimes pain is causes by infection, allergies, tongue-tie, or a dysfunctional suck. Dr. Homan is equipped to address all of these issues.

Supply Concerns

Are you unable to produce or pump enough breastmilk? Formulate a personalized plan with Dr. Homan, that may include a specific pumping schedule, medication, natural supplements, or trying different holds.

Breast pain or lumps

Pain or lumps that continue after a nursing session are often caused by blocked ducts or an infection, both of which can often be treated without antibiotics. Very rarely breast cancer occurs while a parent is breastfeeding, so it is important to have any swelling or persistent pain checked by a medical provider.

Difficulty weaning

Some children are easily transitioned from breastfeeding to cups or bottles--but others can be a challenge! If you are having trouble weaning your child--whether a 2 month old or 2 year old--from breastfeeding, formulate your plan with the help of Dr. Homan.

Tongue-tie or lip-tie

Do you suspect or have you been told that your baby has a tongue-tie or lip-tie? Have your child evaluated by Dr. Homan, who will advise you on management options and perform the tongue-tie or lip-tie clipping if necessary.

Medical Management

Complete medical care for breastfeeding-related conditions including mastitis, nipple pain, vasospasm, and other concerns. Dr. Homan provides both lactation support and medical treatment.

Prenatal Breastfeeding Assessment

Get prepared before your baby arrives. Dr. Homan provides personalized prenatal consultations to discuss your breastfeeding goals, review techniques, and address any concerns about medical conditions or previous breastfeeding challenges.

Introducing Solid Foods

Expert guidance on when and how to introduce solid foods while maintaining breastfeeding. Learn about baby-led weaning, traditional spoon-feeding, or combination approaches that best suit your family's needs.
