About Latch and Nourish Lactation

Inspired by the nurturing bond between a mother and baby elephant, Latch and Nourish Lactation is grounded in gentle, personalized lactation support. Elephants nurse their young for years within a caring herd, symbolizing the trust, strength, and connection I aim to bring to every family I work with. Feeding your baby should feel supported, not stressful. I’m here to offer breastfeeding guidance, alongside calm support, practical tools, and a deep respect for your unique journey, including milk supply assistance.

My areas of expertise include: 

Helping babies achieve a deep, comfortable latch for effective milk transfer as part of my breastfeeding guidance. 

Supporting you in choosing and using the right pump (and the right flange size!) for optimal lactation support. 

Incorporating pumping into your feeding routine with confidence, ensuring you have the milk supply assistance you need. 

Providing support for low milk supply or overabundant milk flow. 

Guiding transitions—whether it's from bottle to breast or using and weaning from a nipple shield. 

Creating individualized feeding plans that grow with your baby. 

With decades of hands-on experience, I bring a calm, knowledgeable presence—helping you feel more confident, informed, and supported in feeding your baby, however that may look.

Gunilla Andersson, IBCLC

Hello! I'm Gunilla, a Maternal Newborn Nurse with over 30 years of experience supporting families during one of the most tender and transformative times of life: the early days with a new baby. I recently became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), a credential that reflects my deep dedication to providing breastfeeding guidance and lactation support as parents navigate their feeding journey with confidence and clarity.

Feeding your baby—whether by breast, bottle, pump, or a combination—can be both beautiful and challenging. I'm here to offer compassionate, evidence-based assistance, including milk supply assistance, tailored to your unique needs and goals. No two feeding journeys are alike, and every baby-parent dyad deserves a plan that fits them.
