I have dedicated the better part of the last decade to supporting new families in their breastfeeding journeys in both clinical and home environments. Nursing is a natural process, however, it does not always come easily. I am here to help you overcome obstacles and accomplish your breastfeeding/chest-feeding goals. My objective is to help you adjust to life with your new addition in a way that is compassionate, evidence-based, that works best for your family.

Lo Nigrosh(she/her) is a mom of 2, an IBCLC, a childbirth educator and a doula who has been helping families feed their babies in the ways that feel best for them for years. She came to this work through her own intense struggle to feed her first child in 2013, and knew immediately that this would be her life's work. When you work with Lo, you will combine your expertise of your family's needs, your own body, and what you've learned about your baby in the days, weeks and months that you've been getting to know one another with her expertise of hormones, milk supply, and physiology of the human body to come up with a feeding plan that will bring more ease and less anxiety to feeding your baby. Lo is also the host of the podcast The Milk Making Minutes which explores baby feeding struggles and triumphs through the lens of systemic and cultural barriers.
I offer a support group periodically at the Athol Public Library in coordination with the baby and toddler story hour. I also host a podcast called The Milk Making Minutes which explores breastfeeding struggles and triumphs through the lens of systemic barriers and I have an online community on Facebook called The Milk Making Minutes which discusses similar themes.

Breastfeeding and breastmilk continue to fascinate me to date. Studies continue to offer us new information about the unique ability of protecting moms and babies. It is an incredible dynamic experience that encompasses anatomy, chemistry, sociology, psychology and physiology. Moms and babies have the instinct to breastfeed, it is biological. Sometimes this instinct/passion is blurred, and mothers may feel lost, confused or frustrated at any point of their journey. There can be barriers to overcome when it comes to breastfeeding. Such barriers could be tongue tie, food allergy, low milk supply, oversupply, medical issues (thyroid, diabetes, PCOS), back to work, bottle refusal, just to name a few! These make your experience unique to you and your baby. I bring 30 years of experience to formulating a plan that works with your family. I believe that any mother would benefit from meeting with a lactation consultant.
