Amanda Shelton,

IBCLC

Contracted with

The Lactation Network

My name is Amanda, and I'm a Lactation Consultant in Clovis, CA. I feel strongly about helping new parents navigate the challenges of feeding their baby with confidence, education, and joy. I want to help you achieve your feeding goals in a way that works for your entire family!

My journey began when I became pregnant through IVF and I went to my first breastfeeding class. It was there I knew I wanted to breastfeed my child and I dove deep into how to breastfeed. During the class I fell in love with the connection and nurturing aspect of breastfeeding. From that point on I researched how to become an IBCLC and began the long road.

Since I was starting my family later on in life it came with some difficulties for pregnancy. I was diabetic, with pre-eclampsia and delivered at 36 weeks, definitely not what I had planned for. With the class I did before giving birth I had the basic knowledge to breastfeed for 11 months.

When I'm not helping new parents feed their babies, you can find me line dancing, camping, or 4 wheeling with my family up in the mountains. I’m a country girl raised here in the Central Valley, and I love teaching people things I am passionate about.

Just because pain is common when you’re learning to breastfeed, doesn’t mean it’s normal! If your nipples are cracked, bleeding, or damaged, or if you’re beginning to dread feeding, you need a breastfeeding specialist.

Blocked ducts are common throughout a breastfeeding journey. Let me help you resolve them and teach you how to avoid letting them develop into mastitis.

Sometimes your baby won’t nurse well, even if you’re doing everything right. A professional can help you make a few adjustments to improve feeding for everyone.

Which pump do you need? How and when do you pump, and for how long? How do you know if you’ve got the right size flanges? I can walk you through Pumping 101!

If you’ve got concerns about your supply, I can help you figure out what might be happening, and provide you with tips or strategies to increase your milk supply.

Sometimes, a difficult birth or a caesarean can have an impact on your breastfeeding relationship. I can help you overcome issues like nursing after surgery, delayed milk production.

Personalized consultations are tailored to your unique needs and concerns. In these sessions, a lactation consultant offers one-on-one guidance, addressing specific breastfeeding challenges such as latch issues, milk supply concerns, or feeding difficulties. These consultations provide a supportive environment where you can openly discuss your experiences and receive individualized strategies to overcome breastfeeding hurdles effectively.

Support packages include access to comprehensive educational materials and resources. These materials cover a wide range of topics such as breastfeeding techniques, proper latch and positioning, troubleshooting common breastfeeding problems, and advice on maintaining a healthy breastfeeding journey. These resources are invaluable references, empowering you with knowledge and confidence!

One of the key perks of a support package is ongoing follow-up support. Beyond the initial consultation, lactation consultants often offer follow-up sessions to track progress, address new concerns, and fine-tune strategies. This continuous guidance ensures that you receive sustained support and encouragement, allowing for adjustments and personalized recommendations as your breastfeeding journey evolves.

Please Contact for Appointment

This is the first in-home service which will include an intake evaluation of 90-120 minutes. During this visit I will provide you with as much science based information to help address this issue at hand. In most cases only one visit is needed.

Sometimes a follow up visit is needed in order to make sure the problem has been resolved and the baby is growing adequately.
