Ellen

Schwerin

I believe all parents deserve quality, non-judgmental lactation support and breastfeeding/chestfeeding education in the comfort of their homes. I’ve helped over 2,000 families resolve their feeding challenges and raise happy, healthy babies. I love helping families when they need it the most in a calm and non-judgmental way, and I am an LBGTQI ally.

We are so thankful that we were able to find Ellen. She was a wealth of knowledge for us (first-time parents). She responded quickly, came to our home, had great suggestions and great referrals for other resources. She was a godsend. ~A

Work experience

Owner/IBCLC at Happy Milk Lactation Support since 2012

Services offered

I can help you with all aspects of your lactation/breastfeeding/chestfeeding journey:

  • Education on breastfeeding/chestfeeding and normal newborn behaviors before your baby arrives, which can help lessen anxiety
  • Newborn consultations when you’re home from the hospital
  • Issues that may arise, such as fussy baby, slow weight gain, tongue tie, painful nursing, plugged ducts, not enough milk, too much milk
  • Teaching Therapeutic Breast Massage for Lactation for engorgement, plugged ducts, mastitis, breast pain
  • Going back to work consults to set up a workable plan, including pumping
  • Helping parents induce lactation (if you have a surrogate or are adopting, and want to breastfeed/chestfeed)
  • Weaning from supplements, bottle feeding, pumping and breastfeeding

My approach

You can do this! And how do I know? Besides having had my own personal breastfeeding/chestfeeding issues, I’ve helped over 2,000 families in the Bay Area with theirs. Welcome! My name is Ellen H. Schwerin, and I am the founder and owner of Happy Milk Lactation Support. I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), which is the gold standard in advanced practice lactation care.
