As a newborn photographer in the Mid-Ohio Valley, I have the privilege of witnessing countless beautiful moments in families’ lives. One of the most profound experiences is the journey of welcoming a new baby, which often includes navigating the challenges and joys of breastfeeding. Having a supportive and knowledgeable resource can make a significant difference during this time. That’s where River Valley Lactation comes in—a dedicated service committed to assisting families in achieving their feeding goals.
River Valley Lactation was founded in 2024 by Kayli, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a mother who understands the complexities of breastfeeding. Recognizing the need for accessible, personalized, and judgment-free lactation care, Kayli established the practice to offer in-home and virtual consultations. This approach ensures that families receive support in the comfort of their own homes, fostering a more relaxed and effective consultation experience.
River Valley Lactation provides expert guidance through every stage of the breastfeeding journey. Expectant parents can schedule prenatal consultations to prepare for a smooth transition into nursing, gaining confidence before their baby arrives. After birth, postpartum support helps address latch difficulties, milk supply concerns, and feeding positions to create a comfortable and nourishing experience for both mother and baby. For families who need flexible options, virtual consultations make lactation support accessible no matter their location.
Kayli’s empathetic and evidence-based approach empowers families to make informed feeding choices that work best for them. She understands that every family’s journey is unique and provides personalized solutions tailored to their individual needs. Whether working through breastfeeding challenges or simply seeking reassurance, her support allows parents to feel confident and prepared.
What sets River Valley Lactation apart is its commitment to personalized, in-home care. Rather than requiring new parents to pack up and travel for appointments, Kayli brings professional lactation support directly to them. The ability to work with a consultant in a familiar environment eliminates added stress and helps mothers and babies feel at ease. This approach not only improves comfort and convenience but also enhances the effectiveness of consultations. Recommendations are made in real-time based on each family’s setup and routine.
Kayli’s firsthand experience as a mother enriches her practice. It allows her to connect deeply with clients and offer practical solutions that truly work. Her warm and compassionate care has made a lasting impact on many families. Her clients often express gratitude for her support during such a significant time in their lives.
Breastfeeding is a deeply personal journey that comes with both rewards and challenges. Having a trusted professional like Kayli from River Valley Lactation can make all the difference in achieving your feeding goals and feeling supported along the way. As a photographer, I’ve seen how important it is to have a strong support system in those early weeks and months. Capturing the bond between a mother and her baby is something truly special. Those moments of love and connection deserve to be celebrated.
If you’re preparing for your baby’s arrival or navigating the newborn stage, consider reaching out to River Valley Lactation for compassionate, personalized lactation support. And when you’re ready to document this incredible chapter, I’d love to help you capture those fleeting moments with timeless newborn and family portraits.
