Serving North Central Kansas
Lactation + PostPartum Support
Empowering you with the
tools and confidence for motherhood
About the Owner - Jacee Rietbrock
I am an Occupational Therapist and an International Board Certificated Lactation Consultant in North Central Kansas. I have always wanted to work with babies and my first son is what steered me towards lactation. I had difficulties with breastfeeding and felt unsupported with the help I sought out for. I ended up only nursing my first for 3 months with lots of hurdles within those 3 months. I pumped for the next 9 months while having to supplement due to not making enough milk for my son. As I started learning more about breastfeeding and pumping, most of my hurdles could have been prevented if I had received adequate support. I kept hearing similar stories from other moms which inspired me to start doing lactation. Plus, I don’t want that to be your story. I want to help you achieve your feeding goals in a way that works for your entire family!
I can’t wait to help you along this wild ride of motherhood!
When to see a Lactation consultant?
nipple pain & latch issues
Just because pain is common when you’re learning to breastfeed, doesn’t mean it’s normal! If your nipples are cracked, bleeding, or damaged, or if you’re beginning to dread feeding, you need a breastfeeding specialist.
before baby is here
Preparing and learning about
breastfeeding is going to set you up for success. Come learn before you are recovering from birth and sleep deprived.
supply concerns
If you’ve got concerns about your supply, I can help you figure out what might be happening, and provide you with tips or strategies to increase your milk supply. I can also help you figure out if labs are needed to dig deeper for the cause
blocked ducts
Blocked ducts are common throughout a breastfeeding journey. Let me help you resolve them and teach you how to avoid letting them develop into mastitis.
pumping plans
Which pump do you need? How and when do you pump, and for how long? How do you know if you’ve got the right size flanges? I can walk you through Pumping 101!
a difficult delivery
Sometimes, a difficult birth or a caesarean can have an impact on your breastfeeding relationship. I can help you overcome issues like nursing after surgery, delayed milk production, a preterm baby, or a baby in the NICU.
lactation support involves…
Personalized Consultations
Personalized consultations are tailored to your unique needs and concerns. These can occur in home or in clinic. In these sessions, a lactation consultant offers one-on-one guidance, addressing specific breastfeeding challenges such as latch issues, milk supply concerns, or feeding difficulties. These consultations provide a supportive environment where you can openly discuss your experiences and receive individualized strategies to overcome breastfeeding hurdles effectively.
Education & Resources
Lactation support includes access to comprehensive educational materials and resources. These materials cover a wide range of topics such as breastfeeding techniques, proper latch and positioning, troubleshooting common breastfeeding problems, and advice on maintaining a healthy breastfeeding journey. These resources are invaluable references, empowering you with knowledge and confidence!
Follow-up Guidance
One of the key perks of a support package is ongoing follow-up support. Beyond the initial consultation, lactation consultants often offer follow-up sessions to track progress, address new concerns, and fine-tune strategies. This continuous guidance ensures that you receive sustained support and encouragement, allowing for adjustments and personalized recommendations as your breastfeeding journey evolves.
