Meet Your International Board Certified Lactation Consultant

My newborn and I struggled with breastfeeding for three long weeks before I called Kirsten. Learn from my mistake – schedule your appointment for the first few days out of the hospital! Kirsten came to our home for our appointment and she brought with her a calming presence, all sorts of tips and tricks, and a great sense of humor! I walked away from that appointment feeling more knowledgeable and confident with breastfeeding. After our appointment she has continued to check in with me and be my cheerleader during my breastfeeding journey. I know that if I have a question all I need to do is send a quick text. Kirsten is worth her weight in gold!

Our second daughter was born 7 weeks premature and after spending 3 weeks in the NICU and being home for 7 weeks we didn’t think it was going to be possible for my wife to ever breastfeed her, after some amazing advice and direction from Kirsten in less then a week she is breastfeeding full time. She helped in ways we didn’t think were possible, My wife Lindsay and I will be forever grateful and would recommend anyone seeking out her services.

I am a first time mom who had a previous negative experience with an LC so I was very hesitant to reach out for help. Kirsten came recommended and I am so happy we found her! She immediately came out to my house and reassured me what I was dealing with was normal and we worked through it. She is incredibly kind and patient with mom and with baby. She also has supported me via text messages and phone calls during my random “break down” moments! Kirsten has been a godsend to this anxious momma!!

We were recommended to Kirsten when my daughter was two days postpartum and having trouble with breast feeding. Kirsten was recommended by many of my friends so I messaged her for my daughter and explained the situation. Within minutes she called my daughter and made plans for a visit. Wow , I was blown away at how much she cared about my daughters situation. The next day she came to the house , assessed the situation , listened to my daughter and then went to work helping find solutions. Kirsten is very knowledgeable with breast feeding and other postpartum issues. She made my daughter feel comfortable , heard and physically better as well as emotionally better. This is how a lactation consultant should be! Kirsten also listened to my daughter and helped her pick a path correct for her. There was no pressure, blaming or guilt tripping . Kirsten referred to it as my daughters journey and she was there to assist. Thank you Kirsten!

I started on the struggle bus with my third baby and Kirsten came out to my house and very quickly identified our issues and got them straightened out! We've been doing so much better since then! She is so patient and kind! This is truly her calling!

I cannot recommend Kirsten enough! She is friendly, knowledgeable, and above all a life saver! Kirsten helped us promptly and is always a text away. She cheered us on when we needed a boost and was so helpful in teaching us effective breastfeeding. Highly, highly recommend!

Kirsten is absolutely amazing! I called her when I was struggling breastfeeding my one week old and she came over that night to help. She has been so supportive and provided me with the referrals I needed. She continued to check in to make sure things were going smoothly. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help breastfeeding!!

Kirsten is amazing! I had a lot of anxiety around breastfeeding before working with her, she was understanding and open to wherever my journey took me whether exclusively breastfeeding or pumping, and took off the pressure I initially felt. Her consultation is completely personalized to you and your baby’s needs. Additionally, she truly cares about her clients as shown by her “text any time “ policy to provide continued support. As a new mom, I can’t thank her enough! I highly recommend Live Latch Love to anyone as they embark on breastfeeding and beyond. Thanks, Kirsten!

Kirsten is wonderful. Even though it’s my third child, she was able to help me with some things I needed refreshing on since the journey with my second child a few years ago. She was able to come by the next morning which was extremely helpful! A month later and she checks in on my frequently. And is always there at any time of the day to answer my questions. She’s been a great support system. I highly recommend her to new moms and even seasoned moms that just need some refreshing tips and tricks on successfully breastfeeding their littles!

After a difficult experience with a previous lactation consultant, I was hesitant to reach out for help —but I’m so glad a friend connected me with Kirsten. I was dealing with an unexpected oversupply issue as a first time mom and feeling overwhelmed, and Kirsten made time for me last minute. From the moment we connected, I felt heard, supported, and respected. She helped me understand what was happening with my body and offered clear, compassionate guidance that made a real difference. Her calm, caring approach helped me feel empowered and hopeful again in my breastfeeding journey. I can’t recommend her enough!

Kirsten has been absolutely amazing. I sought her out for low weight gain issues, and she has been one of the only people that I feel has truly advocated for me and our daughter on our breast-feeding journey. During our appointments she has been thorough, invested, and truly cares about what I find important and what’s best for our daughter. It is clear she is knowledgeable and continues to educate herself in her field. Even with this being my second breastfed baby, without Kirsten, I would have felt very unsupported and alone in this process. If you are hesitating to schedule something, just do it!

First time mom here and as many of you know we need all the support we can get, because let’s be honest we’re learning as we go. My son is 4mo and I don’t think I would still be giving him breast milk without the help of Kirsten Dougglas. She’s is so knowledgeable and has taught me so many things I didn’t even know existed. Kirsten is kind and caring. She really just wants what’s best for you and your little ones. I cannot say enough about our experience with her. I’m so glad to have Kirsten in our corner every step of the way through our breastfeeding journey!

Kirsten has been incredible. As a first time momma and exclusively pumping, I didn’t know much in regards to milk supply, pumping, expectations, etc. Kirsten was able to walk be through everything (how to use the pump, feeding speed and amount for our little one, etc.). She even travels so you’re in the comfort of your own home. The response time and communication is fantastic as well. I highly recommend and look forward to working with her throughout my postpartum pumping journey!
