Support. Empower. Thrive.

At The Latchology Co., our #1 goal is to support your feeding journey, however that looks for YOU.

Latch-ol-o-gy

/lach-al-uh-gee/ noun

Making the science of the latch, simple.

However that looks for you.

If your goal is to exclusively breast/chestfeed until your baby is 2, I will help you. If you struggle and get burned out, I will help you. If you want to give up, I will support you. If you never want to breast/chestfeed, I will support you. If it’s all you can do to keep your head above water adjusting to life as a parent, I will hold your hand and do my best to get you through those times. Parenting is hard. Let’s not make it harder by being judgy and making others feel like what you are doing isn’t enough.
