About Me
Hi, I'm Elizabeth Simmons, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC)
Welcome to Eastern Shore Lactation, located in Spanish Fort, Alabama! I hold a Bachelor's of Science in Nutrition from Appalachian State University and I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. I have worked with breastfeeding mothers since 2013 and became an IBCLC in 2017. My mission is to support families in meeting their breastfeeding goals by offering evidence-based feeding support. I am blessed with a loving husband, Joseph, and an energetic toddler, Jack. We welcomed a second child into our family this past year, a sweet baby girl named Ellie. I love spending time with my family, traveling and reading.
My Services
Prenatal Consultation
Great way to learn more about breastfeeding before baby's arrival. Did you have difficulty breastfeeding a previous child or feel very anxious about breastfeeding? We can make a plan to help you feel prepared to make your breastfeeding journey a wonderful experience. Appropriate consult for expected special needs infants, previous maternal breast surgery, chronic maternal health concerns or induced/adoptive lactation.
Milk Supply Concerns
Manage an over supply or build up an under supply.
Breast or Nipple Pain/Latch Concerns
Management of engorgement, plugged ducts, breast pain. Difficulty latching or pain when latched. Tongue or lip tie concerns.
Infant Nutrition/Growth
Learn how to feel confident that baby is eating enough. We can work together to address slow weight gain or continued weight loss in baby.
Pumping & Bottle Feeding
Learn how to properly fit pump flanges and how to use your pump. Back-to-work support to develop a pumping routine. Bottle feeding skills for the breastfed baby.
Weaning Support
How to gently wean baby or how to expedite weaning in an unexpected circumstance.
About a Visit
I come to you in the comfort and privacy of your own home. We will typically schedule 90 minutes so that I can get to know you and your baby and identify any feeding difficulties. When baby is ready I will observe a feeding. We will work together to develop a care plan that helps you meet your breastfeeding goals. I do not expect your house to be spotless or you to be dressed up (pjs are great!) I am also in the season of motherhood with 2 very small children at home and want you to feel relaxed and enjoy this special time with your little one.
