Thank you so much to all the mothers who donate milk to all the sweet babies in need. You are all AMAZING and we are so thankful for you!

Do I need to build up a "stash" of breastmilk?

No way!

Social media doesn't always have the best representation of an average milk supply. The majority of women don't have a freezer full of pumped milk! Many women have maybe 3-4 bags of breastmilk in the freezer at any given time, and enough pumped fresh for the next day, and that's okay!!

Don't let the social media freezers fool you ❤

Back at work and it’s been an admin morning before appointments tonight. I figured since January was almost over it was time to start filling out my planner and what I noticed was lots of family time and lots of families helped. Each box that’s been filled out so far has multiple families which makes it all the better!

We’re always accepting new clients in Maryland, Delaware and even parts of Virginia! Come check your insurance and book with us, we can’t wait to meet you!

It has officially been a week since I started back to work in the new year and we have been SLAMMED!

I absolutely love it! It means that families are getting the help they need to succeed ❤️

2025 has started off on the right foot and I’m ready to keep those positive vibes going the rest of the year. And since it’s a new year it seems like the right time for a re-introduction…

Hey there! I’m Becky, I’m the owner and IBCLC at The Village Lactation. I started The Village Lactation 5 years ago in 2020 right as the pandemic hit and have been growing ever since. I’m a mom of a big beautiful blended family with 5 kids at home!

The Village Lactation was created not only because of struggling with my own breastfeeding child, but many of my friends did as well. I wished I could help… then it clicked, well why couldn’t I help? That’s all it took- I immediately jumped head first into the lactation world 9 years ago and haven’t looked back.

If you’re looking for lactation or infant feeding support I would love to chat with you. Plus, we accept most insurance plans- what do you have to lose?
