Lactation Education & Support

* We are currently offering Lactation Support, 1 on 1 sessions only, both in person and via Zoom. For more information please contact Mary Scifres, CLEC, via email at Mary@NewBeginningsattheNest.com, call/text 310-614-4513, or fill out the form at the bottom of this page. *

We know that breastfeeding your baby can sometimes feel really, really hard. We also believe that with support it doesn’t have to be that way. Our Certified Lactation Educators can help educate and support you in preparing for breastfeeding, dealing with breastfeeding challenges that may arise, and moving through transitions in breastfeeding (returning to work, starting solids, weaning, etc.)

Our Lactation Education Private Sessions & Support Groups are appropriate for mamas currently breastfeeding, pumping mamas, and pregnant mamas wanting to prepare and learn more about what to expect.

Groups and in-person or Zoom sessions are led by Mary Scifres, CLEC

Medical issues (fever of mom or baby, infection of the nipple or breast, failure to thrive babies, abscess, mastitis of the breast) are outside of the scope of our group support. We are happy to refer you to local IBCLCs who can support you with these issues and highly encourage you to work closely with your pediatrician and OBGyn in confronting these issues.
