À la carte services so you get exactly the support you need — prenatal, postpartum, or anywhere in between.

Prenatal Services

Breastfeeding education, pumping prep, and postpartum recovery planning — before baby arrives.

Early Postpartum

Newborn feeding assessments, follow-up visits, and hands-on recovery support in your home.

Relationships, not transactions

Most lactation support works like urgent care — you have a problem, you book a visit, you move on. We do it differently. The Feed builds ongoing relationships so you have expert guidance before, during, and long after the first latch.

Dedicated to reducing gaps in maternal care. Every family deserves expert support.

What families are saying

“When postpartum felt like life was spinning in a million directions, Nurse Nellie was there — answering every question, calming every fear. She helped me become the mom I wanted to be.”

— Serenity

“When we had our first baby, we were completely lost. Nellie showed up and walked us through everything — diapers, baths, feeding, all of it. Every time something scared us, she was right there. She made us feel like we weren’t just surviving parenthood, we were ready for it.”

— Maddie
