Chelsea Tippett, IBCLC and owner of Gently Rooted Lactation

“My work as a lactation consultant is rooted in the understanding that every parent and baby pair is unique. There is no one ‘right’ way to feed a baby, only the way that works best for you, your baby and your family. I approach lactation care with compassion, evidence based guidance and deep respect for your instincts and lived experience. “
