Lactation Support

A personal starting point.

Ask about lactation support with Dr. Kiani, IBCLC. Tell us about your feeding concerns when scheduling so our team can help you prepare for the visit.

What is lactation support?

Lactation support is one-on-one help with breastfeeding from a qualified specialist. Dr. Kiani is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) — the highest credential in lactation care, requiring extensive clinical training and a board examination. That means feeding questions at our office are answered by a true specialist, and because Dr. Kiani is also a chiropractor, she brings a unique perspective on how a baby’s body — jaw, neck, and oral function — affects feeding.

How a consultation works

A lactation visit starts with your story: your pregnancy and birth, your baby’s history, and what feeding looks like right now. Dr. Kiani observes a feeding, assesses latch and positioning, and looks at how your baby is transferring milk, including oral anatomy and tongue function. From there you build a practical feeding plan together — positioning changes, pumping guidance, and follow-up — shaped around your goals, whether that is exclusive breastfeeding, a combination approach, or a comfortable transition. Support is available from the first days after birth through returning to work and eventually weaning.

Topics lactation support commonly covers

• Latch difficulty and painful feeds
• Sore or damaged nipples
• Low milk supply — or oversupply
• Engorgement and clogged ducts
• Signs of mastitis and when to seek medical care promptly
• Fussy feeds, clicking, or slipping off the breast
• Tongue function and oral anatomy assessment
• Pumping plans and flange fitting basics
• Returning to work while breastfeeding
• Bottle introduction for breastfed babies
• Feeding multiples and tandem questions
• Weaning, when the time comes
