Full service details & insurance informationHi, I'm Erica.
I'm a Registered Nurse (RN) and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with a passion for helping families feel informed, supported, and confident throughout their feeding journey.
My passion for lactation didn't begin in a classroom — it began with my own children. As a mom of two, I've navigated breastfeeding challenges firsthand, and I know how overwhelming it can feel to wonder if you're doing things "right."
My goal is never to tell you what you should do. It's to help you understand your options, support your goals, and create a plan that feels right for you and your baby.
No judgment. No pressure. Just compassionate care and a plan that works for your family.
More about meWhat to Expect
I bring hospital experience in newborn, postpartum, and lactation care into your home, with practical support tailored to your family.
Every consultation is tailored to your family's unique situation and feeding goals — not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
- A thorough feeding and health history for both parent and baby
- A hands-on feeding assessment with observation and practical support
- Weighted feeds and milk transfer assessment when appropriate
- Pump and flange review with personalized pumping recommendations
- A detailed, individualized care plan with evidence-based next steps
"My goal isn't just to answer your questions. It's to help you leave feeling confident, supported, and empowered — with a clear plan that works for your family."
Erica Manners, RN, IBCLC
"You've got this. I've got you."
