Lactation Consultant & Services

Holly McClain is a board certified lactation consultant and pediatric nurse who has been with Capitol Medical Group since 1994.  You can schedule a lactation appointment with your first newborn visit or at any point that you have breastfeeding/feeding concerns. All visits with Holly will be in conjunction with a physician or nurse practioner.  

Commonly addressed concerns include: latching difficulty and soreness, engorgement, low supply/oversupply, pumping and returning to work, weaning from breastfeeding, and breastfeeding supplies.
