Melanie Acon, Lactation Consultant (IBCLC)

I want to give the biggest shoutout to Melanie at Bee Nourished Lactation Services. Our story is unique, and at this point she has become so much more than my IBCLC—she is someone I consider a genuinely wonderful person and friend. I believe in her business wholeheartedly and want to see her continue to thrive because she pours so much of herself into every family she works with. Mel’s journey with us actually started before Ollie arrived. She came to our home and gave me an incredible introduction to breastfeeding—from pumps and schedules to the extensive lifelong health benefits. She had me so excited to bond with and nourish my baby. When Ollie arrived and my milk had not yet come in, she guided us through the next steps, and thankfully with sterile donor milk from the hospital, my milk came in within a few days. Then our world changed. Shortly after birth, Ollie became critically ill with a rare infection. While I was experiencing the biggest hormonal crash of my life, I was also watching my baby cry and suffer, mourning the postpartum experience I had always imagined. His illness wasn’t immediately obvious—he had no fever because of his immature immune system—and for a while my concerns were dismissed as colic or a typical newborn issue. But I knew in my body that something was wrong. Mel listened. She believed me. She saw what I was seeing and advocated for us, even reaching out to our pediatrician about her concerns. That advocacy ultimately helped us get the recognition and care Ollie needed. I don’t know many professionals who would advocate so fiercely for their clients. When it became clear that Ollie needed to be hospitalized, Mel came for one last feeding visit and went above and beyond once again. She held me while I sobbed, made me breakfast while I packed our hospital bags, and helped me get everything to the car. She checked on us almost daily during Ollie’s four-week hospitalization. Having experienced her own difficult hospital journey, she understood what it was like to sleep on a cold hospital couch terrified for your baby and to mourn the postpartum experience you should have had. She even sent me a gift card so I could have a real meal delivered instead of hospital food. That seemingly small act of kindness still makes me emotional. When we finally came home, Mel was there again. The extreme stress and trauma had significantly suppressed my milk supply, and she helped me rebuild it so I could continue breastfeeding Ollie. She handled him with incredible care while I was terrified to let anyone touch him because he still had a central line in his hip as we finished his care at home. I truly don’t know another professional who would go so far beyond the job description. Her job may have started and ended with feeding, but for us, she became an emotional pillar I could count on during the worst experience of my life. Most importantly, she helped me give Ollie the one thing I still had to give him—to nourish him and help him heal with my milk. Without Mel, I honestly believe I would have given up or completely lost my supply. She pours into her clients, genuinely cares about their journey, and wants the very best for both mom and baby. I adore Mel and will sing her praises to anyone who will listen. Moms need more Mels.

Melanie is wonderful. Professional, kind, and non judgmental - she helped me work to increase my milk supply until I made the decision to supplement with formula due to low supply issues. Once I did, she provided compassionate care to help me make the best choices for myself and my baby. I can’t recommend her enough.

Before Melanie I had two different lactation consultants and she was hands down the best. Very knowledgeable and helped me tremendously in my breast feeding journey.

Melanie is the most knowledgeable, caring, professional, and organized lactation consultant we could have asked for. She has truly been an absolute saint to us throughout this entire process. It is clear that Melanie is incredibly knowledgeable and stays current with the latest research and best practices. She made herself available for every question we had, no matter how small, silly, or serious, and she remained calm, patient, and encouraging through weeks of challenges. Most importantly, Melanie was the first professional to recognize an issue we were having, even after we had been reassured by several doctors, nurses, and other lactation consultants that everything was going well. I truly credit her with helping us understand what was happening, make the right decisions, and take timely action when it mattered most. My only regret is that I didn’t have Melanie involved from the very beginning. I would wholeheartedly encourage every expecting or new family to connect with her as early as possible. You can have complete confidence that you and your baby are in incredibly capable, compassionate hands.

The absolute best! Melanie is truly amazing and I would 100% recommend her services. She is passionate about what she does and that translates into her work. She helped my son and I with latch, fit me for flange and showed the best way to use a bottle. She approaches things with kindness and confidence and I really appreciated her reassurance and support while navigating breastfeeding during the early newborn stage. She had a wealth of knowledge and uses evidence based medicine. She truly cares about you and wants to set you up for long term success. And this makes a big difference!

Melanie helped me become so much more confident nursing my 2 month old after worrying he wasn’t getting enough while nursing. She also helped me find the correct flange size for my pump which has helped so much with pain and the amount I am able to pump!

Melanie completely saved my breastfeeding journey, and I truly don’t think I would be breastfeeding today without her. Any issue I had, she knew a trick to fix it. I’m so grateful for everything she did for me and my baby. If you’re struggling with breastfeeding or just want expert guidance, I cannot recommend Melanie enough. She is amazing at what she does, and I will always be thankful for the role she played in helping me achieve my breastfeeding goals.

Highly recommend!! I was struggling to breastfeed with a massive over supply. Melaine was very supportive of what my goals were. She helped me navigate through all the options and educated me on how to support my daughter through this. She wants to help you meet YOUR goals and that was important to me, that it wasn’t her way, it was whatever way your baby was best nourished. I am very thankful that every time she would come to our house she would spend as much time as we needed, was never in a rush and always supportive. My daughter is now one and we are still breastfeeding! Thank you!

Melanie was absolutely amazing! I was having a lot of pain while nursing, latching issues, and was getting nowhere with other lactation consultants. The moment Melanie came to my house she was determined to find a solution and not tell me things like “just practice more.” It also felt like I had a friend who just came over and sat on my couch and listened and truly helped. She is amazing and I will recommend her to any mom until I’m blue in the face. Thanks again Melanie for all of your help!

Melanie is such a great resource both during pregnancy as well as post partum. Even if you and your baby arent necessarily struggling with breastfeeding, i still highly recommend meeting with her! She was responsive, easy to schedule with, and super helpful during our at-home visit!

The beginning of my breastfeeding journey felt incredibly stressful and overwhelming until I began receiving lactation support from Melanie. As soon as I reached out to Melanie, she demonstrated punctuality and a sincere level of care. Melanie is incredibly responsive during her in person visits and over text. She is quick to provide the tools needed to alleviate the stressors surrounding the breastfeeding journey. She helped diagnose our daughter’s tongue tie and provided the necessary referrals to not only release the tongue tie but ensure proper rehabilitation. Although our insurance did not cover lactation services, I know these consultations were worth every penny as Melanie saved my sanity and spoke so much encouragement over staying strong through the breastfeeding journey. I cannot recommend her enough!

Melanie is fantastic!! I had almost given up on getting outside help with our breastfeeding journey when I decided to try one more lactation consultant not knowing that I was about to get an entirely different experience than the 4 that I saw before her! When she came to our first visit, she led the visit, she asked questions to fully understand what was going on and to be able to provide us the best support possible. My journey improved significantly after meeting Melanie and I highly highly recommend! My only regret is that she wasn’t the first lactation consultant that I was paired with by my insurance and I did not meet her until 3+ months into my journey. She will be my first call on my next journey no matter what that need is because I fully trust that she will improve our experience!

Highly recommend! She was so knowledgeable and came to our house which made everything so much easier. I learned so many helpful pumping tips and how to pump more effectively. She was amazing with my twins boys and made me feel completely comfortable. She put all of my worries at ease, taught me what to look for during feedings, and even identified a tongue tie, which ended up being the key to figuring out my son’s feeding issues. So thankful for her!

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Melanie to anyone needing any kind of lactation support! She is the perfect mix of professional and knowledgeable, but warm and down to earth. I really appreciate her ability to be direct and tell the truth while being kind and empathetic. She really listens and has been an indispensable resource in my breastfeeding journey! Also the fact that she only makes house calls is an amazing bonus in those early postpartum days.

My visit with Melanie was super helpful! She first did an assessment of my baby’s mouth to see if there were any underlying issues causing a shallow latch. She then provided hands on support to help me fix my baby’s latch. With her support, I was able to achieve a pain free latch! I really liked how she did a weighted feed so I could see how much my baby was eating. My insurance did not cover this visit so I paid out of pocket and it was worth every penny!

Melanie has been a life saver with helping us figure out breastfeeding and pumping. She comes to our house, which has been amazing, especially due to the restrictions of driving from having a c-section. She also keeps in constant contact with you, making you feel much more confident in your journey. Would ABSOLUTELY recommend her to anyone looking for some guidance!

The moment I met Melanie, I felt like I was talking to a friend. After a difficult breastfeeding experience with our first child, I was nervous about what the journey might look like the second time around. Melanie has been an incredible source of support, guidance, and encouragement from day one. From a phone call the morning after our son was born to her thoughtful postpartum home visits, she has helped me build confidence in both myself and my ability to breastfeed successfully. Her kindness, knowledge, and genuine care have meant so much to me, and I’m incredibly thankful to have had her support during this special time.

I highly recommend Melanie to other postpartum parents. She got me in for an in-house appointment within a week. My son is currently seven months, and I’ve seen quite a few different IBCLCs since he was born, and she was the most thorough. She explained his latch in detail (what was working/not working), listened to his lengthy history and my concerns, did a weighted feed, did an oral assessment, and recognized some potential issues that other consultants hadn’t. She also offered to continue to be of help via text whenever we need anything. She was wonderful to work with!!

Melanie is so great! I had low expectations of being able to successfully breastfeed after difficulties with my first child. She is so knowledgeable and helped me to get through the first few weeks in order to make the journey successful! She is patient and understanding. I couldn’t recommend Melanie and Bee Nourished enough!

She made a very stressful situation feel reassuring and comfortable. She always asked to make sure everything was okay, and more importantly that I was okay!

I cannot recommend Melanie enough. She has been amazing in helping me grow my milk supply and gain confidence breastfeeding my newborn. After my C-section, I struggled with low milk supply during the first month and felt worried about whether my baby was getting enough. I scheduled an appointment with Melanie, and her support made a huge difference. She helped me increase my supply while also giving me the knowledge and confidence I needed throughout the process. Melanie takes her job very seriously and truly cares about making sure babies are getting enough milk, first to regain birth weight and then continue growing appropriately. We scheduled weekly visits at my home, and at every visit she weighed my baby, monitored progress, and adjusted recommendations to keep us moving in the right direction. Her guidance, dedication, and encouragement were invaluable during such an important stage for me and my baby. I highly recommend Melanie to any family looking for lactation support.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Melanie is incredible! She helped my 6-week-old preemie and me learn how to breastfeed successfully after a challenging start. She is knowledgeable in all aspects of feeding your little one and takes the time to listen, answer questions, and provide practical, personalized guidance. Her patience, encouragement, and expertise gave me the confidence I needed to continue our breastfeeding journey. I am so grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to any mom interested breastfeeding!

I am so grateful to have found Melanie. My son had difficulty latching and I wanted some support before deciding if I should just exclusively pump. Melanie is so kind and supportive. She asked what my goals were and then we worked together to find a way to get there. She helped with latch, positioning, and even pumping/flange sizes. She was available after the appointment for text support and checked in often to see how I was doing. She also suggested we meet with a myofunctional therapist when she suspected my baby has a tongue tie. She really helped me feel more confident with my decision. I wish I met her with my first baby. Highly recommend meeting with Melanie if you have any lactation/nursing questions.

Melanie has given me the confidence and support I needed! She’s been a huge help.

Melanie has been the MOST helpful person I’ve worked with, by far, postpartum. She came to my house and instantly gave me hope when I was feeling so down about the way my newborn was eating, and over just a few short weeks, got us to a point where I could exclusively breastfeed confidently, and my son has been gaining weight and growing so well! I’m forever thankful for Melanie’s expertise and huge heart for this area - it’s just so important. Thank you Melanie!

Melanie was absolutely amazing throughout the beginning of my breastfeeding journey. She was always punctual, responsive, supportive, and so easy to talk to. I never felt judged or uncomfortable asking questions, no matter how small or repetitive they were. There were so many times I felt like giving up on breastfeeding, but Melanie always encouraged me and helped me work through every challenge. She truly cared and was always there whenever I needed help or reassurance. Her communication was great, and she made me feel supported every step of the way. I honestly do not think I would have continued breastfeeding without her help. I am so grateful for all of her knowledge, kindness, and support. I cannot recommend her enough!!

Melanie is worth her weight in gold! As a first time mom who struggled with borderline low supply and a baby who didn’t transfer milk efficiently, I felt defeated and was about to throw the towel in on breastfeeding when my baby was 1 month old. My mental health was struggling and my baby wasn’t gaining enough weight. I reached out to Melanie as a last ditch effort to save our breastfeeding journey and I am SO SO thankful I did! After three visits I went from doubtful I would ever successfully breastfeed my baby to breastfeeding with confidence and a happy baby who can nurse effectively! I can’t believe we are here. After I reached out, I heard back from her within an hour or two, and within a few days we had our first visit in the comfort of our home. She asked detailed and thoughtful questions and listened with compassion as I talked her through what I thought our issues were. She made it very clear that my mental health was the priority and made recommendations for us with that in mind. I felt confident that she could help us breastfeed but also safe in knowing however I chose to feed my baby, she would be supportive of it, as long as it was best for my overall well being. The expertise she has in this field while also feeling like a close friend from the first time you meet with her is why she is the best! If you’re even considering reaching out to her for help, do it! Whether you are struggling or just want some reassurance in your breastfeeding journey, you’ll be so well served by her!

My baby and I worked with Melanie for 7 weeks to help us with breast feeding and increasing my milk supply. Post partum is such a vulnerable, emotional, and overwhelming experience and each session left me feeling more confident in caring for and feeding my baby and supported throughout the process. I cannot recommend meeting with Melanie enough.

Melanie completely rescued our breastfeeding journey and I’m so grateful for her! She was supportive, kind and so helpful. Beyond helping with latch issues she also helped heal my nipples, switch to a better pump flange size, and coached us through my daughter’s bottle refusal. The ability to do in home visits with her was so convenient and she was also so responsive over text which was so helpful. I’d highly recommend her to anyone!

I found Melanie’s page at 3am during a pumping session one week postpartum while desperately searching for help. I was overwhelmed, using the wrong flange sizes, destroying my nipples, and had no idea my baby actually needed to be eating more. From the moment Melanie came over, I felt immediate relief. She fit me correctly, helped us create a feeding plan, and completely changed things for our family. My baby went from frustrated and feral at the boob to calmly latching with no fuss. He’s honestly a completely different kiddo now. She also helped heal my nipples naturally. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, judgment free, and has such a calming presence during a really overwhelming stage of motherhood. From bottles and pacifiers to healing products and feeding techniques, her help truly made all the difference. Because of her, I feel so much more confident as a mom and so proud to be able to feed my baby the way I hoped to.

Melanie is incredible and has helped so much through my breastfeeding journey! From a shallow latch, to possible tongue tie, and even introducing bottles! Her expertise is invaluable.

I cannot recommend Melanie enough! I had been struggling with a painful latch for the entire first two months of breastfeeding, and Melanie was able to help assess the underlying cause of her latch problems and gave us tips and exercises that worked to help! She is incredibly knowledgeable and gives great recommendations and resources to help aid with not only her latch but also with reflux and other problems my daughter was working through. It is also so convenient and more personal to have her come to our home! Highly recommended!

My experience with Melanie was incredibly positive. She is knowledgeable, kind, and truly caring. She took the time to listen, answer my questions, and support me through challenges with patience and understanding. I always felt encouraged and more confident after speaking with her. I’m so grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to any mom needing support.

Melanie is the absolute BEST. She helped me with my 2 week old who had a weak latch and within one session he was feeding as expected. From that day on we’ve exclusively breastfed with one bottle in the evening. It’s been a painless journey thanks to her!! She’s made sure baby is on track and meeting his goals. I’ve always felt confident in my feeding journey thanks to Melanie 🙏 I’ve recommended her to many friends and will use her for all of my babies!

I highly recommend Bee Nourished if you have any breastfeeding struggles or questions. Melanie was able to help my baby with her shallow latch and check for ties. She also helped me size my pump flanges and went over introducing bottles and gave me techniques to use if there are any struggles with that. She answered all of my questions thoroughly and really put me at ease. Having her come to my house was so nice since I had all of my stuff there. It made a much bigger difference than the visits from lactation at the hospital!

My experience with melanie was amazing! She was so kind, caring, informative, & super friendly! Highly recommend her for all your breast feeding needs!

Melanie is AMAZING!!! She helped me so much with my son clicking and with mastitis. She never made me feel silly or uncomfortable. She was so supportive with everything.

Melanie has been so helpful as I’ve been navigating feeding difficulties with my baby. She’s helped me create a sustainable pumping and feeding plan that has allowed my family to keep our sanity while helping me meet my breastfeeding goals. She’s been so comforting and supportive and I wish I would have seen her from the beginning. Highly recommend reaching out while you’re pregnant so you can get breastfeeding off to a good start.

With a newborn days old having latching issues, I was scrambling to find someone to help! I googled IBCLCs in my area and just thought I would pick this random person I saw. I reached out and very quickly heard back from Melanie! Which was HUGE since things felt urgent! She was so responsive to all my emails and texts, and meeting with her I felt so supported and she helped me make a plan to move forward and get to the bottom of our issues! So thankful for her and the work she does!

Melanie is great and really helped us on our breastfeeding journey! When our LO wasn’t gaining weight, Melanie was able to tell us exactly how much she was getting each feed, and develop a plan to help her gain more weight.

I truly can’t recommend Melanie enough! I had a very rough start to my breastfeeding journey and she was such a godsend for me. She is a wealth of knowledge, which I desperately needed as a first time mom, and so helpful and supportive as my goals changed a few times while working with her. My transition into motherhood and breastfeeding was so much better because of her and I would recommend her to everyone I know!

Melanie has such incredible reviews and words just dont do her justice! As a first time mom, Melanie offered the support I didn’t know I needed! Her warmth, affirmations and knowledge helped put me at ease as I navigated those overwhelming first few weeks. With so much noise around parenting - Melanie offered so much grounding around helping us to develop a foundation that worked for me and my daughter. I cannot recommend her enough!

Melanie is incredible. Her patience and skills in active listening made rediscovering breastfeeding after a traumatic introduction due to a tongue tie much easier. While in the end we didn’t pursue EBF, she helped me formulate the pumping schedule that made sense for our schedules and family. I will definitely be using her services for future children!

I would highly recommend Melanie at Bee Nourished to any and all moms who are on their breastfeeding journey! I had my third baby in February, and once again faced painful and frustrating complications with breastfeeding as I did with my other two babies. First and foremost, the level of care, professionalism, and support from Melanie during such a tender and overwhelming postpartum season was life-changing for me! She was so kind and knowledgeable about everything that I had questions about or was doubting. I felt empowered and equipped to continue exclusively breastfeeding after she left. Melanie is extremely communicative, punctual, and efficient, which made the process of booking and scheduling so easy. The fact that she travels to your home is a GAME CHANGER. More than anything, I truly felt that she came alongside our family to help us meet our goal of EBF. She truly changed our lives for the better and I’m so grateful for her and her expertise!

I truly cannot recommend Melanie enough. She came to my home, and from the moment she walked in, she felt like a friend. She is kind, easygoing, and every interaction felt completely comfortable and natural. I reached out when I was at my breaking point with feeding my newborn. As someone who had breastfed successfully before, I was surprised and discouraged when my baby began struggling at every feeding. Before our first session, we had to temporarily bottle-feed to monitor intake due to newborn weight loss. I messaged Melanie for guidance, and she responded immediately with thoughtful advice and reassurance. She reminded me that the priority was getting through that moment — and that we could work through the rest together. She also guided me on how to protect my milk supply during that time, which was invaluable. At our visit, she properly fitted me for pump flanges (which immediately relieved the pain I had been experiencing) and observed full feeding sessions. She helped me understand that my baby was dealing with oral dysfunction — not that I was doing something wrong. That clarity alone lifted such a weight off my shoulders. Although we’ve paused sessions for now, Melanie was such a blessing in the short time we worked together. She supported my goals wholeheartedly and reassured me that however I feed my baby, I am still nourishing her beautifully. If you’re on the fence about reaching out, do it — call Melanie. Whether you’re a first-time mom or on your (insert number here) baby, she meets you exactly where you are. I’m so grateful for her support during one of my hardest postpartum seasons.

Melanie was super helpful and made me feel heard with my sons shallow latch during week 1. She is definitely someone I would recommend if you want to educate yourself on the breastfeeding things!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Melanie. After my daughter refused to latch and I had been exclusively pumping, I wasn’t sure we’d ever get back to nursing, but Melanie helped make it happen on our very first visit. Melanie is warm, encouraging, and her visits are completely pressure-free. She helped me feel confident that what I was already doing was wonderful for my daughter, while still giving me the tools and support to try something new. She is incredibly patient, so kind, and has a natural gift with babies. Beyond her skill and expertise, Melanie is also wonderfully accessible, which means so much when you’re a new mom navigating feeding challenges. I truly owe so much to her for helping me get back to the breastfeeding relationship with my daughter and can’t recommend her enough.

Working with Melanie has truly turned my breastfeeding journey around. While it has been incredibly rewarding, it’s also come with its fair share of stressful and overwhelming moments. Having Melanie in my corner has made all the difference. She is a wealth of knowledge and always has thoughtful, reassuring answers to every question and concern I bring her. The weigh-ins at each visit also give me so much peace of mind knowing my baby is on track and getting exactly what she needs. Melanie helped me with techniques to correct my daughter’s latch, taught me about pumping and the proper way to store milk, and even loaned me a pump so I could try it before deciding to purchase one myself. Another plus is the online system she uses to share her visit notes. There can be so much information discussed during an appointment that it’s easy to forget something later. Melanie uploads notes from the visit to the online portal and I can go back and review her guidance anytime. That extra level of organization and care is incredibly helpful. What I appreciate most is how supported I’ve felt from day one. There’s never any pressure; she supports you no matter how you choose to feed your baby, and helps you find what works best for you to do so. She’s easy to talk to, always on time, professional, and genuinely kind. I’ve never once felt uncomfortable around her. Even my daughter lights up and gives her the biggest smiles every time she sees her. Beyond breastfeeding, Melanie offers so much helpful insight into parenting in general. I would recommend her to every mom, especially the new ones! Even if you feel confident with breastfeeding, you never know when you might need guidance, and that’s exactly what Melanie does best.

I can not recommend Bee Nourished enough! I had no idea what I was doing with breastfeeding. My daughter wasnt latching, I had to use a nipple shield, she was under weight, and I wasnt sure I could stick with it. I almost threw in the towel with breastfeeding. So my husband suggested a lactation consultant and im so glad he did. Melanie was amazing!! She is very knowledgeable and willing to answer any and all questions. She came to my house which made it so easy for me. I told her my goals and with her tips and suggestions I was able to reach them. My daughter can now latch and is at a healthy weight and is doing great!!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Melanie at Bee Nourished Lactation Services. When I first reached out, I was ready to give up on breastfeeding. My milk supply was SO low and my son had lost so much weight that he was labeled “failure to thrive” at the pediatrician’s office. From our very first meeting, Melanie gave me hope. She carefully assessed my baby’s latch and worked patiently with us to improve it in a way that felt manageable and supportive. She also took the time to really listen to my concerns and look at the full picture. Because of her thoroughness, we discovered that my son had a cow’s milk protein allergy — something that had completely gone unnoticed before. Melanie didn’t stop there. She connected us with additional providers, including myofascial therapy for my baby, which made a tremendous difference in his feeding. With her guidance and support, my supply improved, my baby started gaining weight consistently, and today he is up two points on his growth chart and healthier than ever. Beyond her clinical expertise, Melanie has been an incredible source of emotional support for me as a first-time mom. She always answers my questions with kindness, reassurance, and zero judgment. She checked in on us, celebrated our wins, and helped me rebuild my confidence. As someone new to the area, I also appreciated how she connected me with local moms groups — that community has meant so much during this stage of life. Melanie quite literally changed our breastfeeding journey and helped my baby get back on track. I would absolutely recommend her to any mom, especially those who feel discouraged or unsure. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly invested in the families she works with. We are so grateful for her.

Melanie is so supportive, knowledgeable and attentive. I only wish I had her support while nursing my first baby. She has been with me throughout my entire breastfeeding journey and I wouldn’t have had such a successful and positive experience without her help. Can’t recommend enough

I reached out to Melanie 2 weeks postpartum because I was struggling with significant pain while nursing and felt completely overwhelmed and exhausted. Within minutes of her first visit, Melanie helped my baby latch pain-free for the first time in days. She took the time to listen, encourage, and educate me on everything from feeding positions, schedules, pumping, and flange sizing. She even connected us with a wonderful SLP for oral therapy. I had a rough couple of weeks with recurrent, painful clogged ducts and was on the verge of mastitis. Melanie checked in via text and phone constantly (even on weekends!!) to help me manage the discomfort. During a follow-up visit, she stayed for almost two hours to help me pump and find relief. At my request, she helped me create a plan to begin gradually transitioning away from a heavy pumping schedule. This was a really hard decision for me, and I can't stress how supportive Melanie was during those very difficult couple of weeks. Now 14 weeks postpartum, I've been able to maintain a more manageable combo feeding routine with absolutely no pain or clogs. I’m even able to latch my baby comfortably again, which I didn't think would be possible. If you need any postpartum feeding support, I cannot recommend Melanie enough. She is a compassionate advocate for both mom and baby.

I cannot recommend Melanie enough! My baby and I had a very rough start to our breastfeeding journey, then Melanie was recommended to me. I loved that she came to my home where I was most comfortable. At our first appointment she even helped me properly use my pump, which no other consultant took the time to do! She checked in with me and never gave up until my goals were met! My baby girl is happily breastfeeding again and we couldn’t have done it without Melanie!

I wish I would have came to Melanie sooner, but for our next baby I definitely will! I have a 5 month old who is tongue tied (wasn’t sure until I saw Melanie) and wanted to go from exclusively pumping to breastfeeding if I could. Melanie had high hopes in getting him to latch and gave me the proper tools to practice bait and switch with and guidance on what to do in the meantime before our next visit. She was so great with our little one and made us both feel so comfortable with the whole process. She let me know she was always available if I needed advice or questions and even asked me to send little wins. On top of all of that, she also so graciously let me borrow her pump as mine wasn’t working correctly. Due to me going back to work coinciding with the holidays and SO many visitors (just not enough time for me to practice) and having our little one going on solids in a few weeks, I decided to continue pumping but would highly recommend using Melanie’s services. Again, we plan on making sure we call her early for our next one, which is hopefully soon!

Melanie is the best! We were having so much stress with breastfeeding after my daughter’s tongue tie revision. Melanie helped us pinpoint what was going on and gave clear suggestions that I still use daily. Soooo helpful. She was comfortable and knowledgeable. Thanks Melanie! Pittsburgh lactation consultant.

If you’re anything like me, you probably thought breastfeeding would be easy and come naturally to you only to be completely shocked by how difficult it actually is with a newborn baby (no one tells you this!) As a first-time mom who had a C-section, I was overwhelmed, emotional, and honestly on the verge of giving up on my breastfeeding journey pretty much every single feed. I was genuinely unsure if I could continue. I fought through an endless amount of tears and told my husband, "I can’t do this anymore,” almost every single time I had to feed my baby, even though breastfeeding was all I ever wanted to be able to do. I emailed Melanie through the tears one night in a state of desperation. If it weren’t for her skills, knowledge, care and guidance, I truly don’t think I would have continued breastfeeding!!! Melanie is everything you hope for in an IBCLC!! First of all, the fact that she services my hometown felt like a huge win to start off. The thought of someone who comes to you in your very own home, (somewhere you don't even want to imagine leaving when you're very postpartum, I certainly wasn't taking my baby anywhere!) to show you how to breastfeed in your own space with your own chairs/pillows/etc is truly soo invaluable and worth it. She has endless patience and never once made me feel silly or embarrassed for asking questions. She came into my space and immediately brought a sense of calm and comfort, like she was just an old friend! In my fragile postpartum state, she spoke to me and my family with so much warmth and kindness and treated my 3-week-old baby with the same care and gentleness as if he were her own. She is incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to assess his feeding/mouth, weighing him before and after each time (which instilled so much confidence in me when you feel like your baby 'isn't getting enough'). She helped me with proper positioning of my baby, and his latch so that I would be as comfortable and effective at feeding him as possible. She always washed her hands and removed her shoes immediately upon entering my home, which gave me peace of mind as a new mom! She also helped me learn how to properly use my breast pump which felt so foreign and overwhelming to me and sized my flanges properly, which was very different from what I was told in the hospital. Melanie's care didn’t end there. She continues to check in to this day (3 months into my journey!) and still answers my questions and reassures me. The best part is that I'm still going! I can't believe it!! You can truly tell she is passionate about her field and really cares about her patients. I am beyond grateful for her support and would recommend her to any new parent who feels hopeless and overwhelmed the way I felt when I first started this journey.💛

Melanie and Bee Nourished are a godsend! Anyone in the greater Pittsburgh area should not think twice about contacting her for lactation services! She is a true expert in her field who I’d highly recommend to any mother! Melanie is kindhearted, encouraging, down-to-earth, and incredibly attentive to both me and my baby. She supported me through a very strenuous breastfeeding journey, helping me feel informed, empowered, and far less stressed. Because of her, we discovered my first baby was only getting a teaspoon per feeding, which ultimately led us to exclusive pumping. Without Melanie, I doubt I would have made it through as many months of nursing as I did. She even guided me through an unexpected illness with care and expertise. She helped with every question and concern, properly fit me for flanges after I’d been incorrectly sized elsewhere, recommended excellent supplies and resources (like free milk bags and pump parts through insurance), responded promptly to texts, and provided free samples. She will go the extra mile for you and your baby, and she’s a joy to be around! My baby and husband loved her too, and it was reassuring to see baby boy grow with every visit as Melanie weighed him and shared data on his progress. I’m so grateful for her support and know I can count on her still today and for my next babies and nursing journeys!

I will recommend Melanie to any new mother I know! The lactation department at the hospital set me up for failure. I consulted with them twice in the hospital and they gave me about three minutes of their time. I then reached out to them when I was home after childbirth as I was struggling, having no idea what I was doing, and they would not see me in person, saying Zoom was better. Had they met me in person, they would have seen I was on the path to mastitis! I am so happy to have found this company! Melanie came to my home within a few days. Not only did she help me that day with breastfeeding, but she held my baby while I ate and drank, which I hadn't done in days! I have now been exclusively breastfeeding for over three months, and that could not have been possible without her help.

I am so glad I made that first appointment with Melanie! She is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable right away. After being unable to get my first baby to latch, I was determined to have a positive breastfeeding journey this time. Melanie made that possible! She took the time to truly assess our latch, clearly explained what was happening, and gave practical, easy-to-follow tips that made an immediate difference. After our visits I felt much more confident. The in-home visits are an absolute game changer for a busy mom, and Melanie is always quick to help when questions come up. I would highly recommend her to any postpartum mom needing breastfeeding, latch or oversupply support.

I am so glad I decided to make an appointment with Melanie with my 3rd child. I had exclusively pumped with my first 2 children because of various reasons including returning to work full time. However, with my 3rd, I am now a SAHM and was determined to avoid all the extra work that goes along with exclusive pumping-washing bottles, carrying a giant bag with me everywhere with my pump and supplies, ice packs and bottles to be kept cold, etc. I was struggling with breastfeeding as my little one had lost a lot of weight initially and was not gaining it back quickly. She had a shallow latch, and Melanie was able to show me how to latch properly, proper positioning, ways to alleviate gas pains, recommended an appropriate bottle with paced feeding for times when daddy or someone else might need to feed baby. She also evaluated baby's mouth for possible restrictions or dysfunction as well. She has helped me to feel more confident in my breastfeeding journey and has been fantastic with getting back to me with any concerns that popped up after her visits. I recommend her to any new mother (or even a 3rd time mom like me) to help with any feeding issues that come up!

Where to even start. When I came home with my first little one, I found myself immediately stuck in nipple shield, mastitis mess with fears that my hopes and dreams of breast feeding would be ending before they even really began. Cue: Melanie. By far, hands down, the main, and perhaps only reason, why I am now three months into my breast feeding journey and seeing my little guy thrive. And to be honest, actually enjoying breast feeding. Melanie is a nipple ninja. An angel from heaven. The answer to all your lactation issues. From day one, you can tell the moment she walks through your door that she knows what she is doing. All business, but with the utmost needed compassion. She helped me brainstorm latching issues, got me off the nipple shields in just a few days, helped me size my pump flanges, and then was there to support us through introducing a bottle (a necessity for a working mom). She comes prepared with her suitcase full of goodies including a baby scale that allows her to systematically track your baby's growth but also what your output is at each feed. You can tell that this is a true passion for her through her kindness and thorough dedication to your success as a breastfeeding mom. I truly couldn't thank her more or sing her praises any louder. For any woman considering breast feeding, you absolutely need to bring Melanie into your life. She is a real gift and real talent.

Working with Melanie has been such a blessing! As a first time mom, I was overwhelmed and at a loss with breastfeeding. Melanie was able to pinpoint several issues within minutes of her first visit. She helped me navigate these issues and offered continued support until we found the best solution for my situation. She has an abundance of knowledge that goes beyond lactation and breastfeeding, and always took time to answer my questions. I know that my breastfeeding journey would have ended long ago without her and I cannot thank her enough! If you're looking for assistance with your lactation journey, you can rest assured that Melanie will do everything in her power to get you and your little one on the right track!

If you are a nursing new mom and looking for lactation guidance, you’ve found the gold standard—Melanie and the Bee Nourished team are BEYOND incredible. From latch guidance and techniques, to understanding baby’s feeding “normal,” to establishing and maintaining supply, to tailored pump parts and schedules, Melanie’s expertise met baby and I exactly where we were in our nursing journey. Her personal experience, empathetic approach, and check ins between appointments made a world of difference—my only wish is that I would have reached out to Melanie sooner!! Thank you for the support and guidance when our family needed it most!

Melanie is the best. I would recommend her to any family looking for lactation guidance. I worked with in hospital lactation and our pediatrician’s lactation services and Melanie was so much more helpful. Her in home visits and the time she spent with me and my daughter exceeded all expectations.

Cannot recommend Melanie enough. I wish I could give her 10 stars. My almost 8 week old son would not take a bottle no matter how hard we tried since he was born. Within one city with Melanie we were able to diagnose the issue, address how to give him bottles and she gave recommendations for pacifiers which he has taken to since we received them. I cannot say enough good thinks about Melanie. She was quick to respond to my inquiry and came within two days of me reaching out. She was extremely kind and personable. I literally felt the weight leave my shoulders while she was here. Would definitely recommend and work with her in the future if needed!

Melanie was a pleasure to work with, despite my breastfeeding journey not working out in my favor. She did absolutely everything she could to help with latching, comfort, and pumping. Will definitely use her in the future if needed for my next babies!

I cannot say enough good things about Melanie. Her compassion and caring nature really shined through even in her first visit to our house. To make a long story short our daughter had a rough start breastfeeding due to some mild complications immediately following her birth. Mel helped me to set benchmarks for my breastfeeding journey and provided me with the tools needed to assess my progress. While exclusive breastfeeding ended up not being in the cards for my daughter Mel has helped immeasurably with my pumping journey and has always been supportive and responsive whenever I've had issues or questions. I would definitely work with Mel again in the future and I have confidence that she will provide the support I would need to meet my future goals!

I would recommend Bee Nourished to anyone seeking lactations services. Melanie is so kind and professional and has help me tremendously postpartum. The in home visits made it super easy.

Finding Melanie as my lactation consultant was hands down one of the best things that happened when I became a new Mom. 5 stars is simply not enough stars for her! I was feeling extremely overwhelmed and unsure about breastfeeding, it truly freaked me out and I also had no clue how to start pumping or basically do anything about my supply at all. I was so unsure about this that I decided to try and ignore it all and not to meet with the consultant at the hospital because I was just simply not in the mental spot to do it— and I was liking how easy it was to formula feed our daughter at the time. A few days after we got home with our daughter my husband suggested we get me a lactation consultant after I was about to have a menty b due to engorgement. That night, we found Melanie from a Google search and she showed up to our house the next morning. She just was so knowledgable, kind, easy to talk to and had zero judgments about how I wanted to do things. She listened to what I was going through and gave me great advice, taught me how to use my pumps and gear and we came up with a plan. After our first meeting, I seriously felt so much less overwhelmed. My husband would tell you every time she came to our house, that I felt so much better afterwards. She made a HUGE difference in my pumping journey. I am beyond thankful for her support and I already can’t wait to work with her again whenever we have our next baby. If you’re struggling or need some guidance in the Pittsburgh area, don’t hesitate to contact Melanie— She is amazing!!!

We could not have loved our time with Melanie more. One week postpartum, I was in tears over breastfeeding struggles. In my fragile state, I searched for someone kind and trustworthy to come to our home. That’s when Melanie arrived. From the very first message, she felt like a friend. I could share anything and feel completely safe. Melanie is a fountain of wisdom, having walked this path with her own children—each with a unique breastfeeding story. Her ability to connect with so many journeys makes her truly special. She’s never judgmental and meets you wherever you are: exclusive pumping, breastfeeding, combo feeding, or all of it. Most importantly, she guards your heart. She holds space for your tenderness and walks beside you every step. When I was overwhelmed—tongue-tie recovery, bodywork, sore nipples, new-mom exhaustion—she gently suggested we pause until I felt ready. Her work phone is always open (even for 2 a.m. texts!), and she replies in the morning with warmth and zero pressure. Each visit, she’d weigh my son, celebrate his growth, ask about my goals, and remind me there was no rush. Pumping was going well, so we let go of latching stress. While I found my way, she brought a magical suitcase of every flange imaginable—every shape, size, and brand. I’d have bought the wrong ones without her. She helped me discover the perfect fit (crater shape!) and shared the best lubrication tips. My pumping journey truly began because of her. My son had complex latch challenges—clamping, tight jaw. Melanie never pushed giving up; she listened deeply and adjusted with care. We tried a shield for comfort, and under her guidance, found a speech-language pathologist specializing in orofacial myology, feeding, and craniosacral therapy, plus a chiropractor for body tension. These experts are rare, but Melanie knew just where to send us. Now at 3 months, he’s softer, less tense. I believe he’ll latch one day, thanks to everything she taught me. When I’m ready, she’ll be my first call. She accepts most insurance—ours was fully covered, lifting any financial weight. If you’re unsure about an IBCLC, let Melanie hold your hand. You wouldn’t stitch your own C-section. Nourishing your baby with your body is harder than anyone says—and you deserve gentle, expert support. You’ll never regret reaching out to her.

Melanie was so helpful and always had the right words when I was feeling overwhelmed and unsure. She always came with a positive attitude. Most importantly she never made me feel rushed and always took time to make me feel confident in the next steps. I’m so happy I picked her for my support team.

Working with Melanie at Bee Nourished Lactation has been absolutely life-changing. After starting our breastfeeding journey with bottles in the NICU, I never thought exclusive breastfeeding would be possible. Thanks to her guidance, support, and encouragement, my premie baby is now 5 months and thriving at almost 19 pounds — even our pediatrician is amazed! What makes Melanie so special is how intuitive she is. She was hands-on when I needed her to be, but also knew when to step back and just chat while I figured things out. She seemed to know exactly what I needed before I even said it — sometimes even before I knew myself. That kind of care and awareness is rare, and it gave me the confidence to keep going when things felt overwhelming. Melanie goes above and beyond, not just with her knowledge but with her genuine kindness and compassion. She checked in, she listened, and she celebrated every win with us. I couldn’t recommend her more highly — every mom deserves a lactation consultant like her.

I cannot recommend Bee Lactation in Pittsburgh highly enough! I was on the verge of giving up breastfeeding when I began working with Melanie, and thanks to her incredible support, I’m now exclusively breastfeeding. Despite this being my third baby, I learned so much from Melanie—her depth of knowledge is truly remarkable. She was always available to answer any questions or concerns, and her guidance made all the difference. I credit my breastfeeding success entirely to her and am deeply grateful for her care and expertise. Thanks Melanie!

Melanie was wonderful to work with! So helpful and genuine! She helped me feel confident in my nursing journey from latching to weening. So grateful for her!

Melanie is fantastic. Not only is she great at supporting moms with breastfeeding, she is a great person. I felt super comfortable talking to her about anything. This was important for me as a new mom. I can't speak highly enough of Melanie and would recommend her to any mom who is going down the breastfeeding journey. It is not easy, but learning tips and tricks from Melanie makes it feel manageable.

Every mother of a newborn has questions about whether or not their little one is eating enough or if they’re producing enough and then the hormone fluctuation and a touch of postpartum depression hits…. The list goes on and on. When I was connected with this organization, I was feeling like a failure. The care that both I and my newborn received, and the support, was literally life-changing. Not only did we quickly get my little guy on the right track with food and gaining weight and nutrition, but we also got me in the game because of the extensive support and care. They made it so easy from the very first conversation to navigate insurance, equipment, and the really tangible moments of learning how to work with our baby to not only have a good breast-feeding experience, but also to use the pump in the most effective way and just have that female support in my postpartum. I cannot say enough how incredible these professionals are, and how truly grateful I am.

Working with Melanie was honestly one of the best decisions I made as a new mom. I was feeling super overwhelmed and unsure about breastfeeding, and she came in with so much knowledge, kindness, and zero judgment. She really took the time to listen to what I was going through and gave me practical, realistic advice that actually worked. After just one session, I felt more confident and like I wasn’t doing this alone. She made such a difference in my breastfeeding journey, and I’m beyond thankful for her support. If you’re struggling or just need some guidance anywhere near Pittsburgh, don’t hesitate— Melanie is amazing!

I found Melanie while searching for a local lactation consultant in Pittsburgh soon after having my son, and it was the best decision ever! Melanie has been an absolute gem and has helped me through the tough moments breast feeding can bring. Each time I meet with her I truly feel so much better and way more informed. She not only provides me with knowledge, help and support, but also has a way of feeling like the friend I needed to reassure me during tough times. I cannot recommend her enough!

Hope at Bee Nourished is an absolute gem! I was about to call it quits before we found her, but with her in-home care and helpful tips gave me the confidence to continue breastfeeding my newborn. Hope is truly so sweet and caring, and I couldn’t have done this without her— thank you, Hope!!

As a first-time mom, I struggled with my baby’s latch from the very beginning. After working with four different lactation consultants during my hospital stay and the first few weeks at home, I was feeling pretty discouraged but decided to continue breastfeeding on my own while we figured things out. When my baby’s symptoms of an improper latch persisted, I decided to give it one more try—and I’m so glad I found Melanie. In just one in-home session, she shared an incredible amount of knowledge and helped my baby latch perfectly for the very first time. She made me feel completely at ease and eased so much of the anxiety I had as a new mom. I can’t recommend Melanie enough to anyone in the Pittsburgh area looking for support!

I can’t recommend Melanie enough to all expecting Mom’s in the Pittsburgh area! As a first time Mom, she has helped me with all things lactation like breastfeeding, introducing a bottle, and managing my pump equipment/pump schedule. She values the success of your breastfeeding goals, and growth of your baby. I don’t know how I would have done it without her! Her appointments are at the convenience of your home, and you will look forward to each one.

Bee Nourished is the best private lactation service in the greater Pittsburgh area. My husband and I worked with Melanie during my pregnancy and directly after the birth of our child. She assisted me in preparing all the necessary equipment for feeding prior to birth and, was at our home the day we were discharged from the hospital to assist. Not only is Melanie knowledgeable and informative on all topics related to newborn feeding but she was patient, kind, and supportive throughout the process as well. We knew that she was genuinely invested in my wellbeing and, our child's nourishment. New mothers in Pittsburgh are very lucky to have a local service like this. I would recommend Melanie and her team to anyone looking for support from a lactation consultant.

Melanie has been absolutely incredible to work with! I am a first time mom located in Calcutta, Ohio and was having trouble getting a good latch, and Melanie was so quick to help me! We discovered both a tongue tie, as well as a dairy allergy my baby has after struggling to get to the root of some symptoms she was having. She is SO patient, accommodating, and full of information. The fact that she came right to my house was so incredibly convenient, especially in those early postpartum days.

Beaver County/Pittsburgh, PA — I was 3 months postpartum, exclusively breastfeeding, and at the end of my rope when we called Melanie. I had been using a nipple shield since day one, feeds were getting longer, and even though our doctors said our son was growing just fine something was off. I hesitated reaching out because my experience with lactation consultants in the hospital and doc office were little to no help and I was worried it would be more of the same. My husband encouraged me to contact Melanie for help. It was already a huuuge plus that she serviced the Beaver County area and we wouldn’t have to drive all the way into the city! It’s not always easy to find services like this outside of Pittsburgh. She came to our house just days after reaching out. Melanie had all of the knowledge and equipment. I was blown away! She did an oral assessment, pin pointed our issues in minutes, and we learned my son was not gaining weight the way he should — he had dropped from the 63rd percentile at birth to not even making the chart…it was scary to think where we would have been if we hadn’t gotten a second opinion. First thing Melanie got us on a plan to get his weight up and increase my supply. She fitted me properly for pump parts, watched me nurse, educated me on both and referred us to an oral therapist to work on his latch. In only 3.5 weeks our son was gaining weight like crazy!! (Safely) my supply was way up ANDDDD he was latching without a nipple shield. I honestly never thought we’d get there. No exclusively pumping, no formula necessary. My mental health is so much better thanks to Melanie’s professional guidance. We could text with questions at any time and she hyped us up as we saw the improvements in real time. Anyway… as you can see I highly recommend Bee Nourished Lactation Services!! THANK YOU MELANIE

I worked with Hope and she made such a great difference in my breastfeeding journey! I looked forward to every meeting with her and she was kind, patient, friendly and understanding. I had a very pushy lactation consultant at the hospital and Hope was nothing like that, which was very appreciated. She helped me with some vasospasm problems as well as pumping help so that I felt confident every step of the way. I would highly recommend Bee Nourished and would highly recommend Hope to help you feel great while starting out breastfeeding or working through problem along the way!

I am so grateful for the incredible support I received from Hope. She made me feel comfortable & confident in my ability to breastfeed. She was patient, understanding, & knowledgable. She offered practical advice & solutions that worked for both me & my little guy!! 10/10 would absolutely recommend Hope & Bee Nourished.

Melanie is so great to work with. She came with a wealth of knowledge and supplies and was able to help me with things I didn’t even realize I needed initially. She made me feel comfortable and was so helpful. Highly recommend her!!

Working with Hope has truly changed my breastfeeding journey. Her knowledge and support is exactly what I needed as a first time mom. I never felt rushed during our visits and she has always answered any questions I had with reinsurance and compassion. Definitely recommend!

Melanie has been such a huge help!! I was constantly in so much pain and ready to give up on breastfeeding due to my baby’s latch. Melanie was able to show me what I needed to do to help my baby latch better, as well as how I could help her practice sucking properly so that she wouldn’t need a tongue tie revision. Just a few weeks after my first appointment with Melanie, not only do I no longer dread nursing, I actually can now nurse completely pain free and enjoy bonding with my baby! I’m so grateful and would absolutely recommend her services to anyone who needs some advice or support with feeding their baby.

If I could give Melanie 10 stars, I would. She has been a godsend for us. My baby had a hard time latching at birth, was losing weight, & I was overwhelmed trying to figure it out on my own. Melanie was encouraging, kind, empathetic, and patient as she worked with us. We are now exclusively breastfeeding and our little man is thriving! Melanie also has referred us for other services based on his needs. As a first time Mom, I am forever thankful that Melanie has been in our corner advocating for our son. We love you Melanie!!!

Melanie was an absolute godsend! I was skeptical of the whole idea of a lactation consultant but she helped me so much in my postpartum days. She was not pushy or judgy in the least. And when my breastfeeding journey wasn’t going as I had planned ( couldn’t produce) she was the first to recommend formula and let me know that it was ok and a fed baby is all that mattered. I would recommend her to every pregnant woman even if you don’t think you need the support…she was wonderful!

This team is incredibly knowledgeable and resourceful! They’re kind and compassionate and actually listen to you and look at your baby to give the best individualized care. Mel and her team will give it to you straight and ease your mind with any issues you come across or simply preparing you for the art of nursing. I have recommended them to so many friends and will continue to do so! 10/10

It's so nice as a new mom to be able to have lactation come to you, in the comfort of your own home! It's also nice that it is covered by insurance, which is a huge relief. Working with Hope was great. She was very sweet and kind, and always available to answer any questions or concerns I had throughout the process. Would recommend!

Melanie is an amazing resource to have if you live in the Pittsburgh area! She's very kind, knowledgeable, and supportive! She supports your goals and helps you succeed!

Melanie is amazing! I highly recommend her, especially if you've had negative breastfeeding and/or lactation consultant experiences in the past. I felt so supported to make decisions based on what worked for me.

I cannot speak highly enough about how much Claire helped me as a first time mom. I was determined to breastfeed because of the copious benefits for both baby and me, but the first few weeks were tough, navigating a latch issue and my supply coming in slowly. Claire was full of knowledge, gave us endless support, even available to answer lots of questions via text throughout the week - definitely above and beyond. I am so happy to say that I’ve been exclusively breastfeeding since about 7 weeks in. I could not have done it without Claire; I am so grateful!

I met with Claire shortly after my son was born. I immediately felt super comfortable with her! Even though this wasn't my first time breastfeeding, I had different questions this time around, and she answered every one, and was always available if I had additional questions in the time she wasn't with me. I would highly recommend Bee Nourished Lactation Services if you have any questions about breastfeeding. I would book again in a heartbeat!

After a bad experience with a hospital lactation consultant, I felt discouraged. My experience with Bee Nourished lactation services saved my pumping journey! I met with Claire, with the goal of figuring out how to keep pumping when I return to work, and she fitted me for new flanges which helped stop my vasospams and I'm able to produce enough every day for my daughter and also do so comfortably! Would highly recommend not giving up and using their services!

Working with Claire has made the early days of my breastfeeding journey much more manageable. She helped me feel confident that I could meet my feeding goals before having my daughter and helped me navigate challenges as the arose! She is fantastic!

So grateful for Bee Nourished in the Pittsburgh, PA market! Melanie conveniently came to my home, made me feel at ease, and felt like an old friend as soon as we met. Her help was invaluable and I've recommended her to countless friends & acquaintances already -- she made a notable difference in my (unplanned) exclusive pumping journey and I couldn't recommend her more highly, for her warmth and kindness just as much as her expertise and knowledge!
