Congratulations on Your New Baby!
Your baby is here and you are ready to breastfeed! This should be easy, after all breastfeeding is natural, right? Not always. Sometimes breastfeeding challenges may arise that require the assistance of a skilled clinician. International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC) are health professionals who specialize in both the basic and complex aspects of breastfeeding. Kristen Kratz Lactation Care is here to help! We offer breastfeeding support in our Newtown office.
