Expert Lactation Support—for Every Feeding Journey

Written By Gretchen Fangman

Whether you’re preparing to breastfeed for the first time, navigating challenges with a newborn, or looking for reassurance along the way, The Birth Center of Bloomington-Normal is here for you. Our in-house International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) provides professional, compassionate support to help you feel confident and informed—no matter where you gave birth.

Our lactation care is open to all families, whether you delivered at the birth center, at home, in a hospital, or are simply seeking guidance during your feeding journey.

We support a wide range of needs, including:

  • Latch and positioning

  • Pumping and bottle feeding

  • Milk supply concerns (low or oversupply)

  • Sleepy or fussy baby feeding patterns

  • Weight gain monitoring

  • Emotional support and troubleshooting

Whether you're exclusively breastfeeding, combo feeding, pumping, or just figuring out what works best for you and your baby, our care is judgment-free and family-centered.

We’re here to offer real answers, practical help, and gentle encouragement—so you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
