Syracuse Lactation offers experienced and comprehensive lactation support.   We provide non-judgmental physical and emotional support, information and experience to families during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

We believe in supporting the new family as a whole. We specialize in working with breastfeeding families, and have experience with families of all sizes and babies of all ages. We will fully support your breastfeeding/pumping/bottle feeding goals, provide information on topics of your interest, and give emotional support.

We work with all types of situations, from basic breastfeeding questions to complex maternal and baby breastfeeding issues. We have a wide international network of resources to help you find answers to your questions.

We are an independent private practice by choice in order to serve our clients needs in a professional and comprehensive manner.

Jen Deshaies, IBCLC & Owner has been working in the field of lactation for well over a decade and opened Syracuse Lactation in 2015.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU SHOULD SCHEDULE A VISIT WITH SYRACUSE LACTATION?

• If you have a feeling something is not going well with nursing but are unsure if or what it may be

• If you keep looking for answers and don’t feel closer to finding them

• If you are confused by all the suggestions and advice you get about breastfeeding (or bottle feeding)

• If you or your baby is struggling in any way

• If you’d like to know why things are happening, not just a band aid approach to fixing whatever is happening

• If you’ve nursed another baby and it wasn’t this hard before

• If you’ve tried to nurse another baby and it was hard

• If you want to set yourself up for reaching your feeding goals

• If you want a different approach and someone to look at the bigger picture

• If you want to feel supported in your personal goals (which may or may not be what everyone else’s goals look like), without judgement
