Breastfeeding support that meets you where you are.

Sharon Berger, IBCLC, RN

As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and Registered Nurse, you can rely on me as an expert in infant feeding. I’ve worked in reproductive health for over 20 years; as a doula, childbirth educator, L&D and postpartum nurse, and a lactation consultant. My husband and I raised 2 wonderful sons, both of whom were breastfed.

I’ve helped hundreds of people improve their feeding experiences, and I’m passionate about making breastfeeding work for the whole family, from the beginning of the journey to the end.

From our clients.

    ~Erica

  • Sharon’s care and support was exactly what I needed as I was deeply struggling with breastfeeding my firstborn. Baby’s latch was painful and I wasn’t sure she was getting enough milk. As a first time mom, I needed education and guidance. Sharon’s help, along with visits to the chiropractor have helped both baby and I to have a better, more peaceful breastfeeding journey.

  • "The care and support that I received from Sharon was truly invaluable. It was clear that we did not have a good latch and that my baby wasn’t getting enough calories. I also wasn’t having much luck with the pump. I was able to quickly set up an appointment for Sharon to come visit me at my home where she helped me and the baby figure out the fundamentals of breastfeeding and using my electric pump. She even lent me parts that actually fit my nipples! Sharon has a calm, reassuring presence and she created a plan that was right for me while emphasizing that there was no one right way to feed a baby. She sent follow up PDF’s with easy to follow notes from the visit - hugely helpful during the postpartum fogginess! In between visits, Sharon was always available for questions via text. With Sharon’s help we were soon nursing with ease! I really can’t recommend her enough!"
