About West Lactation LLC

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. I am Rebecca Westfall, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and have been practicing in the hospital for 2 years. Before that I was a Nationally Certified NICU Nurse (RNC-NIC) for 20 years in a level IV NICU. During my time as an IBCLC in the hospital I helped parents and babies in the mother baby unit and the NICU. I also taught Prenatal Breastfeeding classes for the hospital. As a member of the International Lactation Consultant Association (ILCA), I am committed to providing evidence-based knowledge and techniques.

I have 3 breastfed all 3 of my babies and had different challenges with each baby. Those challenges included: latch refusal, exclusively pumping, Cow’s Milk Protein Intolerance, switching to a specialized formula, changing my diet to breastfeed my 2nd child with CMPI, bottle refusal, and mastitis.

I am excited to offer in-home and virtual appointments to provide evidence-based breastfeeding support for questions and help with: prenatal breastfeeding education, painful latch, nipple damage, low milk supply, NICU transitions to home, engorgement, plugged ducts, mastitis assessment and prevention, flange fitting, pumping support, tongue/lip tie concerns, breast refusal, bottle refusal, weighted feeds, and return-to-work plans.
