Advanced Clinical Lactation Care in Bend, Oregon.

Who we are: We are licensed lactation consultants and experienced clinicians serving families in Bend for over a decade. We’re also mothers, and we understand that feeding a baby is emotional, physical, and deeply personal. Our care is compassionate, evidence informed, and grounded in real life.

How we support you: We assess and treat common and complex feeding challenges. From painful latch and milk supply concerns to weight gain and sleep related feeding issues. You’ll receive a clear, personalized plan with steps that fit your family’s goals and rhythm. If things feel overwhelming, we help you simplify and prioritize what matters most right now.

We collaborate closely with local pediatric and birth professionals, to coordinate care and keep everyone on the same page for your and your baby.

What you can expect: Thorough assessment. Hands on guidance. Clear education. Ongoing support.
Our goal is to reduce pain, ease anxiety, and help you move forward with confidence. If you’re navigating feeding concerns, we’re here to listen, guide, and create a manageable plan that works for your family.

Outcomes you can expect

  • Reduced pain and improved latch in the short term

  • Better feeding efficiency and more comfortable feeding sessions

  • A clear plan for improved infant weight gain

  • Increased milk removal through improved pumping and management of supply

  • Clear paths forward when surgical or medical referrals are needed

It will take a couple visits to get the full picture, but our ultimate goal really is to support you so much that we work ourselves out of a job—giving you the confidence and tools to care for your baby without endless checklists or a set number of appointments.

Breastfeeding, Pumping & Infant Feeding

Lactation Appointments are as unique as you and your baby! We will spend an hour reviewing your birth story, health history and any concerns about feeding your baby that you, your OB/Midwife or your Pediatrician may be having.

Body tension can significantly impact feeding experiences for both baby and caregiver, whether breastfeeding or bottle feeding. When tension builds up in the body, it can lead to discomfort and hinder the natural flow of the feeding process. Working with our Physical Therapist (and learning the secrets of Tummy Time) that is trained to understand infant feeding can help answer many questions about why feeding your baby is frustrating.

  • “Brooke is the best there is! I went to Brooke with my first baby and now back with my second. She is kind and compassionate. She has made my breastfeeding journey one to remember. From tongue ties to DMER she is knowledgeable and will find a way to help. Brooke has made me feel confident as a breastfeeding momma and has given me the tools to do so! You will not be disappointed and 100% should go and see Brooke! Nourish Lactation is the best!”

  • ”Beyond happy with our lactation visits. Brooke was absolutely essential to our breastfeeding success and I do not know what we would have done without her. Breastfeeding hurt, my baby was gassy and spitty and we were told by some that 'everything looked fine'. As someone in the medical field, I thought she was a perfect balance of clinical and friendly. Thank you, Brooke for doing this work.”

  • “If you are dreading your lactation appointment like I was put all your worries aside! Brooke is not here to judge your feeding methods she is here to help make your feeding methods work best for you and baby. She is full of tons of helpful information that I didn't even see coming. By far, one of the best experiences I have ever had with a lactation consultant. She reassured me that moms mental health is just as important as feeding your little one. 10/10!”

  • “Brooke is THE BEST! She helps so much. My baby was tongue tied and she has struggled with breast feeding, with Brooke’s help we haven’t had to give up! For that I’m super thankful!”
