Start with your goals
Your plan should reflect what matters to you—not someone else’s definition of success.
About NoMa Lactation
NoMa Lactation was created to give families practical, evidence-informed feeding support in a space that feels personal, respectful, and judgment-free.
Why NoMa exists
Both of my babies spent time in the NICU and were born weighing under five pounds. Our feeding journey included around-the-clock pumping, triple feeding, supplementation with a Supplemental Nursing System, frequent weight checks, and the uncertainty that can come with wondering whether your baby is getting enough.
During one NICU stay, I watched another mother trying to breastfeed her baby. I could see that a few small adjustments in positioning might have made feeding easier, and I wanted to help—but at that moment I was simply another NICU mom. On the drive home, I asked my husband what I would need to do to be able to support families like hers.
That question became the beginning of NoMa. Today, I bring together my background as a Physician Assistant, specialized breastfeeding education, and my own experience as a mother to help families navigate feeding with greater confidence.
How I approach care
There is no single feeding plan that works for every family. The goal is to understand your priorities, explain your options clearly, and build a realistic path forward together.
Your plan should reflect what matters to you—not someone else’s definition of success.
Clinical information is most useful when it becomes clear, actionable guidance you can apply at home.
Work, sleep, recovery, family dynamics, pumping logistics, and changing goals all belong in the plan.
