Breastfeeding & Lactation Support

Gentle, Judgment-Free Support for Your Feeding Journey

Whether you're preparing to breastfeed for the first time or navigating challenges weeks into postpartum, Enrich Health offers compassionate, expert lactation support in Hamden, CT to help you feel confident, informed, and supported.

We understand that every nursing journey is different. That’s why we meet you where you are — emotionally, physically, and culturally. From first latch to weaning, our care is personalized, pressure-free, and rooted in respect for your choices.

Why Breastfeeding Support Matters — Especially for Black Mothers

Black mothers are less likely to receive breastfeeding support in traditional healthcare settings and are often met with conflicting advice or judgment. At Enrich Health, we’re changing that by offering culturally competent lactation care that centers the lived experiences of Black women and women of color.

Whether you choose to breastfeed, pump, supplement, or bottle-feed — our job is not to push an agenda. It's to support your health, your baby’s well-being, and your parenting goals.

Our Lactation Services Include:

  • One-on-one visits with a trained lactation consultant in Hamden

  • Help with latching, positioning, and milk supply issues

  • Guidance on pumping schedules and storage

  • Support with nipple pain, engorgement, or mastitis

  • Feeding plans that align with your return to work or lifestyle

  • Combo feeding, formula transitions, or exclusive pumping help

  • Counseling for breastfeeding after a difficult birth or NICU stay

    We also support mothers who are relactating or starting again after stopping — and we’re here for partners too, because support systems matter.

We Offer Care That Respects Your Choice

At Enrich Health, we never assume there’s one “right” way to feed your baby. Instead, we help you explore what works best for you — whether that’s exclusive breastfeeding, mixed feeding, donor milk, or another path.

Our providers are trained in trauma-informed, culturally responsive lactation support, and our goal is to make sure you feel seen and supported, no matter how your journey unfolds.

In-Person & Virtual Support for New Moms

We offer both in-office consultations and virtual lactation support, so you can get help when you need it — even from home.

We also host breastfeeding support groups for moms that foster connection, normalize the ups and downs of nursing, and provide peer encouragement in a safe, welcoming space.
