Leah Whitley, IBCLC

Meet Leah

I help moms reach their breastfeeding goals.

My name is Leah and I’ve been a board-certified lactation consultant for more than a decade. My experience is enhanced from having worked in clinics, hospitals, offices, and private residences. Of all the settings, my favorite is working in private practice, where I can closely follow families throughout their breastfeeding journey.

I am best known for connecting with my clients and helping them feel comfortable and more confident after our meetings. Knowing the challenges parents face, I founded SOS Lactation to provide immediate, quality breastfeeding support.

Quick answers before you book

What does SOS Lactation help with?

SOS Lactation helps with latch pain, milk supply questions, pumping, bottle transitions, prenatal feeding preparation, and the moments when feeding feels harder than expected.

How do I book a lactation consultation?

Start by reviewing consult options, then complete the booking form so SOS Lactation can help confirm the best next step for your situation.

Does insurance cover lactation consultants?

Insurance coverage depends on your plan and how lactation services are handled by your carrier. Review insurance and payment details before booking if you want to check coverage first.

What happens during a lactation visit?

A lactation visit focuses on what is happening now, what feeding goals you have, and what practical next steps make sense for you and your baby. If you want the full process first, review what to expect.
