Hello and thank you for visiting!

I am currently on maternity leave and will resume taking clients in 2025. I wish you the best of luck on your feeding journey!

Little Roots Lactation empowers new families with a healthy blend of evidence based information and real life, judgment-free parenting support. Any method of feeding your baby (breast, bottle, formula, pumping…) takes a great deal of time and effort!

We look forward to helping you choose the path that both aligns with your goals and makes the most sense for your family.

"Alyssa was such a reassuring, kind presence that put a lot of my worries to rest! J* and I are working on the tips Alyssa gave us to improve our breastfeeding sessions and I'm feeling a lot more confident overall! I cannot thank Alyssa enough for that simple peace of mind! Thank you for checking in!"

"Alyssa was AMAZING and gave the best tips for first time parents like us... we are doing great thanks to her!!!"

"Alyssa was such an amazing support to have on our breastfeeding journey. Having someone with her expertise and knowledge both before and right after birth brought so much comfort and reassurance to me as a new mom trying to navigate feedings with my infant. There was so much I needed to learn once coming home from the hospital in regards to breastfeeding and Alyssa was there the day after we got home to get us on the right foot with feeds once my milk came in. We dealt with a tongue and lip tie and Alyssa was not only apart of the process in helping us get our son the support he needed, but also provided me with really helpful tips and guidance all along the way. Having her be able to come to our home also just made the whole experience more comfortable and less stressful for me. She is such a warm, caring, knowledgeable person and was so responsive to my concerns and questions. It was a joy to work with her and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for lactation support!"

"Alex is exactly who you need in your life postpartum. Professional, incredibly skilled, gentle, kind and very thoughtful in her professional recommendations. I’m so grateful she was our second baby’s lactation consultant. She helped us troubleshoot his needs and I’m so grateful she recommended him to be evaluated for lip and tongue tie release. Alex is the real deal, she is extremely knowledgeable and clearly a master of her craft but shares this knowledge in an easily digestible, calm, careful and caring way. It’s the perfect mix for the newly postpartum, hormonal, and sometimes delirious state so many of us are in with the sleepless nights of new baby-hood. Do yourself a favor and invest in lactation care from Alex. It’s worth the investment."

"I just wanted to take the time to write to you to tell you how grateful I was to have found you and to have Alex come to see us twice (+ one phone call). My only regret is I didn’t reach out sooner. I wish our breastfeeding journey had worked out, and I think that I would have had a better chance of success if I had reached out as soon as I started having issues. I am now almost done weaning and our baby is on formula. Alex was fantastic and so supportive during this very difficult journey. Her visit helped me get closure. It was very emotional and she was so great, making sure to let me know that it was okay to feel the way I feel. Thank you so much for the supportive and positive environment that you provide."

"I cannot sing enough praise about Alex. This past weekend I was readmitted to the hospital and was worried that the success we've had with breastfeeding was going to come to an end as I was going to be away from my baby. However when I returned home, my son and I didn't skip a beat with breastfeeding and I know that was due to all of the lessons and best practices that I learned from Alex. During my absence my husband supplemented with formula and pumped breastmilk and upon my return my son still latched on without any difficulties. Without having her come to our home I don't think we would've been able to pick up where we left off. The service was worth every penny. Thank you so much for everything!"
