home visit lactation consultant in asheville

Hi, I am Annie Cantrell, RN, IBCLC and owner of Milkweed Lactation. I provide in-home lactation care to lactating parents and their babies. I support at all stages of the infant feeding journey whether it involves, breastfeeding, pumping, supplementing, bottle feeding, or weaning.

I aim to meet parents and babies where they are at to create a feeding plan that is biologically supportive for baby, empowering for the parent and enjoyable for both.

I provide a judgement free space where you can feel seen and heard.

Get back to enjoying your baby!

Nursing your baby is not meant to be done alone.
A lactation consultant can walk with you as you navigate your breastfeeding journey. Get help today and stop asking the internet!
