Lactation Consultants in Omaha, NE

Elite lactation professionals- 402-915-1559 Lara Anderson is the LC that I know and she is wonderful.

Call Diane Erdmann from Omaha Breastfeeding supplies. She is amazing! I almost gave up myself until she helped me and it only took one visit:-) I can give you her contact info if you'd like.

I agree if you're going to go anywhere go to Dr. Wilwerding, she really listens and really helps.

Yeah, dr Wilwerding is an ibclc and. Close with Dr Leeper from Milkworks.

Call Milkworks I am sure they will do their best to help... http://milkworks.org/

Dr laura wilwerding. Shes a pediatrician and has her own breastfeeding clinic in her office. She is amazing! My 2 year old loves her and she is a huge breastfeeding advocate # 4029917337. Shes amazing and cares for both nursing mother and baby. Many of my friends see her too and im going back as im expecting my second this summer. Shes amazing and listens. Definetly doesnt shuffle you around or ever make you feel like a bad mom and is always there for helpful advice.

I have experience with Anne Easterday with La Leche League. She came to my homebirth client's house and was really wonderful. She is a certified lactation consultant, not just a counselor.

Diane Erdmann is a bit "rough around the edges", but knows her stuff. I don't think she does house calls, but maybe you could volunteer to drive your friend...that's what I did for my friend post c/s. I also had c/s and drove myself on the 2 week mark. If friend happens to have Blue Cross insurance, It is covered in full. omahabreastfeeding.com

this is a friend of mine: http://www.omahababy.com/about/

WWW.EliteLP.com local IBCLC's that make house calls. There are also free breastfeeding support groups at The Nebraska Medical Center (Friday 9:30-10:30) & Bellevue Medical Center (thurs 10-11)

We recommend Kristen Treat at Butterfly Kisses! She is pretty amazing at what she does!

Kristen Treat of Butterfly Kisses is great! Look for her FB page.

402-815-1528 is the phone number to the LCs at Methodist Women's Hosptial. They'll talk to you over the phone or you may schedule a time to go see them. They were a lifeline to me when my son was 3 days old and I couldn't get him to eat. They also have a Baby & Me class (more like a support group) on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:00-3:00 and Thursday nights from 6:30-7:30. The class is free and anyone is welcome. If you want to come tonight, the Thursday night class is at the hospital in the Cris room. Walk towards the gift shop, make a right, and its the first door on the right. The Thursday night group is run by mommy-volunteers, but the MW group will have an LC there. Maybe I'll see you there tonight!

Dr. Erin Loucks at Children's Dundee is also an IBCLC. I think she will see moms and babes for lactation issue but might need a referral if you are not already seeing her as a per.

The VNA is awesome. They have certain requirements though. Like military, or one income family or something. Not sure of all the details. Miss Debbie was my hero! She gave me a breast shield, b/c my son has a high pallet and struggled latching. That was the first step in helping both of us. He only used it for about 3 weeks. Then I just pumped a lot, save some milk for a vacation? :) here is the VNA number 402.930.4224

Dr. Leeper at MIlkworks helped me so much they are worth the time! Also I heard Diane Erdman in Omaha is great

Dr. Laura Wilwerding is an IBCLC and a pediatrician. She's in Plattsmouth. We haven't had many breastfeeding issues, so I can't really say how good she is in that area, but we love her as our ped!!

Dr. Wilwerding's # is 402-955-7150

There is also a La Leche League meeting tonight at Baby Junk at 6 pm.

I second Dr. Wilwerding. She is awesome and worth going to Plattsmouth if you are having troubles.... Very easy to talk to and very knowledgable!

I believe Elite Lactation runs a support group tonight for a small fee at UNMC that might be helpful. I am in Bellevue but could see you tomorrow if that helps

Dr Laura Wilwerding. Is Amazing she is a pediatrician and lactation consultant!

Kristen Treat from Butterfly Kisses Family Support Services

I went in because my newborn and I were having nursing issues. Rather than the harsh triple nipple cream the hospital prescribed, she recommended plant-based oils (coconut or olive), & breast milk on the damaged area. A week later (she also diagnosed and fixed my son's tongue tie the hospital had missed), and we are now nursing pain free & my son gained 10 oz:) His belly button had a bit of cord left behind, but rather than rushing to cauterize, she offered to wait a week to see if it healed on its own. She would rather not intervene unnecessarily, when something can heal on its own.I think that's great! We loved our pediatrician, but after one visit with Dr Wilwerding, we are switching all three of our boys to her:)

Ash Bergren at elite lactation professionals 402-915-1559 made the difference for us in being succesful . She makes house visits too. Also she has learned a lot from dr wilwerding and will refer you to her if needed.

Dr. Wilwerding on 116 th & Center.

Omaha Breast Feeding.. amazing!

Anne Easterday with the Midwife's Place.

Kristen Treat is awesome, I'm guessing you can make an appointment through an inbox message:-)

Rita Madden in Council bluffs!

Try latching!! Your milk supply should still be good! Talk to Dr. Wilwerding, too!!

Second the Methodist LC team.

What everyone else suggests, I second dr Laura Wilwerding! She is Awesome! Good luck mama! You CAN do it!

My friend, Alicia Rhea, works as a Lactation Counselor at Fremont Area Medical Center (FAMC). I'm not sure what hours she's working, but I'm tagging her in this comment. Was the baby born at FAMC?

Pediatric Partners has a LC on staff, Diane. She is also a NP. WIC has an LC too if you're a client there. All the LD nurses are Breastfeeding Specialists and a handful of us are Lactation Counselors. There is a TON more help than there was 9 years ago when I was struggling and I'm proud to say I am on the team to help breastfeeding moms in Fremont. Just call the hospital and we can get you the help you need and deserve!

I can't say enough positives about Diane too or Pediatric Partners. My kids have been going there and primarily seeing Diane since we moved to the area, and it has been a great experience. I can't believe I didn't think of this when I wrote my first reply, but I would highly recommend her. Thanks, Alicia Rhea!

Call Dr. Wilderding ASAP. Tell them it's important you get in. She will do everything from checking the baby, to helping you heal and anything thing else. I am at her office now actually for breast feeding stuff. I wouldn't recommend anyone else! She is the breastfeeding goodness! Tell them the importance and they will get you in.

Contact Connie (nurse Practioner) at Lifecare Family Medicine or Dr Laura Wilwerding at West Center Pediatrics both are lactation consultants with prescriptive privileges and should be able to help you
