Award Winning Lactation Care | Breastfeeding Success Co.

Janet Jones and Lauren Reyes

While breastfeeding benefits for babies, parents, and society as a whole are supported by decades of scientific and economic study, the lactation care families receive before and after childbirth is often inconsistent. Breastfeeding Success exists to help families, employers, and healthcare providers to remove breastfeeding barriers so families can find their own success.

Every family deserves lactation support.
A lack of lactation support results in disturbingly low levels of postpartum breastfeeding, despite recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics for a year or more of breastfeeding for optimal health.

Even when families receive lactation care at their birthing facility, gaps in care and challenges at home or work can be difficult to resolve, and often block families from reaching their infant feeding goals.

It used to be that to solve for these gaps, growing families had to arrange their own lactation care — and hospitals who offered this care did so without reimbursement. Today, when families give birth at a facility served by Breastfeeding Success, lactation care is a seamless part of the experience.

We’re here to change all that.
Our vision is a world in which lactation care is part of the whole parent journey for everyone. We pursue it by making lactation care familiar and easy to access at every step. Breastfeeding Success increases access, improves delivery, and transforms the economics of lactation care. This is how we help nurture more resilient, confident, and healthy families:

Families We help growing families build breastfeeding confidence and find success with any infant feeding style through parent education and lactation care.

Employers We help employers build more positive, productive, and profitable workplaces with lactation programs that both improve health and cut healthcare costs.

Hospital Systems With lactation care through Breastfeeding Success, hospitals offer better infant care and drive positive health outcomes while cutting costs.

Physician Groups We offer medically integrated lactation care that seamlessly supports patients along the parenting journey.

Lactation Consultants We provide a way for IBLCs to be the best care providers they can be, and help more people find rewarding careers that help growing families thrive.
