Leah Segura, IBCLC, RLC offers International Board Certified Lactation Consulting Services to famili I have over 700 hours of continuing education.

I've been working with lactating families in the Midland, MI area for over 15 years. My children are now in their teenage and adult years, but all were breastfed for various lengths of time and through many struggles. Even before I had my own children, I had a passion for working with parents and their babies. My education and experience in social work focused on infant mental health and early child development. I often tell my clients I am NOT the "breastfeeding police." Breastfeeding looks like many different things for many different families, whether it involves exclusive breastfeeding, pumping, bottles, formula, donor milk, etc. My goal is to provide you with the information and support you need to make the best decisions for your family, meet your own feeding goals, and establish a rewarding, confident relationship with your baby. As I have with many clients before you, I will provide a non-judgmental, nurturing, and professional approach to serving your family. Professional growth and continuing education are vital to improve patient outcomes. Areas of specialty include low milk supply, infant colic/reflux, tongue and lip tie/oral rehabilitation, bottle feeding, weaning, and working while lactating.

Some great ideas here. This is such a huge issue in Michigan.

The challenges facing rural maternal care are significant — but so is the innovation emerging from communities determined to keep care close to home.

IBCLCs save lives!!

Feel free to use this post to increased awareness and support in hospitals. Hopefully someone is listening out there‼️

We know that providing to newborns especially in the reaps incredible benefits including but not limited to reductions in , BPD and infections.

Sadly, while many mothers start pumping, volumes may falter.

This study demonstrates that infants whose mothers who had 4-6 lactation visits within the first 14 days were 8.93 times more likely to discharge receiving MOM (95% CI 4.86-16.40, P < 0.05) ❗

The short term costs of hiring lactation support will reap many fold more $ in long term costs.

Re-sharing to bust another myth I heard today!

09/21/2026

Heard this one again today.

A myth I hear again and again is that breastfeeding burns more calories and is harder for babies. In most cases, this is not true! While there are many individual circumstances to consider, this study showed no difference in energy expenditure in babies fed with a bottle or the breast who were least 32 weeks gestation. While this is a small study, multiple other studies show that breastfeeding (especially while holding your baby skin-to-skin) regulates breathing, heart rate, and temperature. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19933725/ #:~:text=Conclusion%3A%20There%20was%20no%20significant,breast%20did%20not%20increase%20REE.

Recently, a client affectionately referred to us as “The Ni***es in the Wind Ladies.” When Jess and I realized we were accidentally twinning for the day, it was the perfect setup to grab a photo with Jen’s book!

We love bringing humor, evidence-based care, and zero judgment into our practice every day. Thank you Jen Hamilton for normalizing the wild, beautiful, and sometimes chaotic reality of birth and postpartum life! 🩷

My car was stuffed with carriers today while Jess and I turned the parking lot into an outdoor photo studio with our demo dolls.
We got plenty of confused glances, but we are excited about what we’re setting up for our families. Keep your eyes on our page for an announcement coming soon! 🎒👀
