Welcome to Leading the Latch
Empowering Your Breastfeeding Journey with Expert & Compassionate Care
Expert Lactation Support
Breastfeeding, while considered "natural", does not always come naturally. The more information and resources parents have, the more successful your breastfeeding can be.
Leading the Latch provides support to families and babies learning how to breastfeed. We provide 1-to-1 lactation services in the privacy and comfort of your home.
Leading the Latch utilizes a Tanita BD-815U high end scale that provides incredible sensitivity for the smallest of patients. It was specifically designed to weigh premature infants and babies that are having difficulty gaining weight, featuring a measurement accuracy of 0.1oz/2g. This is especially helpful for obtaining weight gain calculation for pre and post feeding also known as a test weight. A test weight will tell you exactly what your baby takes in at the breast. Not all scales are created equal!
