Expert Lactation Consulting and Infant Feeding Support in Northern Colorado and beyond
An expert and dedicated partner, empowering you on your journey to nourish your child.
Welcome!I’m Heather Elkins, JD, IBCLC, the founder of RootLove Lactation Services. I support your infant feeding journey with professional, personalized care. Infant feeding support is available from the comfort of your home, at a local office in the heart of Boulder, Colorado, or virtually (by phone/video).
It is an honor to support your family in achieving your individual infant feeding goals. I provide evidence-based care, rooted in science but equally rooted in what works best for you and your child’s individual needs. I meet you where you are, tailoring a care plan without any “shoulds.”
Why hire an IBCLC?
A board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) represents the highest standard of expertise in lactation and infant feeding training. Working alongside your healthcare team, an IBCLC ensures you receive optimal care, especially in challenging or complex situations. Seeking professional support for feeding your child can help you navigate and overcome various challenges that may arise.
IBCLCs do so much more than check your baby’s latch. Here are some common issues and topics we can address in your consultation:
- Identify the cause of breast or nipple pain (e.g., plugged ducts, engorgement, mastitis) and provide a treatment plan.
- Assess and correct latch and positioning challenges.
- Identify underlying causes of low milk supply and provide personalized treatment options to boost production.
- Assist with post-frenotomy (tongue-tie release) oral exercises and suck training.
- Manage slow weight gain while protecting and preserving breastfeeding.
- Develop strategies for safe and effective formula supplementation.
- Provide support for pumping, including exclusive pumping.
- Offer treatment for oversupply and overactive letdown.
- Manage baby’s acid reflux.
- Learn ways to interact with your baby to promote optimal development, including healthy eating and sleeping habits.
- Support induced lactation, re-lactation, and chestfeeding.
- Provide prenatal preparation for breastfeeding.
- Offer support for adjusting to new parenthood.
- Create a plan for returning to work.
- Guide you on starting your baby on solid foods in an age-appropriate manner.
