Breastfeeding Help

Welcome! I’m Kristen Morrison, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) dedicated to supporting families on their unique feeding journeys. As a lactation consultant, I specialize in addressing feeding challenges such as:
  • Latch concerns
  • Nipple pain or damage
  • Low or oversupply of milk
  • Infant weight gain difficulties
  • Pumping and milk storage strategies
  • Transitioning to solids
  • Weaning plans
  • Postpartum support
Above all, I believe every family deserves compassionate, nonjudgmental support tailored to their unique needs. My approach emphasizes balancing the emotional, mental, and physical well-being of both moms and babies, fostering confidence and reassurance every step of the way.

Kind Words

Kristen has continuously supported me throughout my entire pregnancy. Even since the first week, she has taken the time to answer countless questions and go out of her way to make sure I feel comfortable and confident about everything from pregnancy diet to postpartum. She is extremely thorough, and absolutely never judges no matter how silly the question. It is extremely evident how much she cares about her patients just from the time she takes to help us learn, as if she is a friend rather than just a provider. I will continue to refer to Kristen for all things lactation, and I highly recommend other women do the same!”
