Services
Lactation Consultation
Our highly skilled IBCLC’s provide lactation consultation from the prenatal period through every stage of your lactation journey. We provide support for all aspects of infant feeding including breastfeeding, chestfeeding, bottle feeding, and concerns such as weight gain issues.
Appointments include a comprehensive medical history, examination and assessment of you and your baby. At each visit, we provide breastfeeding supplies and devices to improve feeding during our visit at no cost to you.
A care plan detailing our assessments, recommendations and referrals will be emailed to you after your visit.
In Home & In Office Care
We provide home visits for postpartum families within 2 weeks following the birth of your baby. Appointments are typically 60-90 minutes.
If you need a home visit outside this time frame, please contact our office. Continued follow up visits will be held at our offices at Wildflower Postpartum Center in Portland or Wildflower Lactation Astoria.
Providers Beth Waters, IBCLC and Whitney Tiller, IBCLC are both available for home and office visits Monday thru Friday. Weekend visits are available by special need.

How do if I know I need a lactation consultant?
If you’re having pain with breastfeeding or chest-feeding, have concerns about your milk supply or infant weight gain then it’s probably a good idea you make an appointment for support. Pain with breastfeeding or chest-feeding may be a sign that something isn’t right. It can mean that there is a poor latch and that your baby isn’t getting as much milk at each feeding as they may need…and it can lead to more problems down the road. Getting breastfeeding help when you need it is so important to your overall postpartum experience.
Even if everything is going well, you may have some other questions about managing your milk, pumping, bottle feeding, giving a pacifier, and a whole host of other questions many new parents have.
There’s so much confusing information out there.
If you’re new to parenthood, it’s hard to know who to listen to or what advice to take.

“Beth is the reason I’m at 1.5 years of breastfeeding my daughter. She was patient and thorough as we troubleshooted methods to see which my daughter responded to best. Beth took every frantic call and answered every text with ease. My husband and I can’t thank Beth enough for helping us with all the benefits of breastfeeding, including the special bond we share that we worked so hard for together."
