Feeding Plan Consultation
A personalized feeding plan to help you feel more confident, organized, and supported in feeding your baby.
When you're unsure how often to feed, whether your baby is getting enough, or which feeding approach is working best, even everyday decisions can start to feel overwhelming.
You may be breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, or combining methods while trying to make sense of conflicting advice and changing routines.
I'll help you understand your baby's feeding needs, work through your concerns, and create a flexible plan that fits your goals and everyday life.
Together, we'll take the guesswork out of feeding and focus on practical steps that help you feel more confident moving forward.
When Feeding Feels Like a Constant Guessing Game
You deserve a feeding routine that makes sense for your baby and feels manageable for your family.
Maybe you're wondering whether your baby is eating often enough, how much milk they need, or when to offer a bottle. Perhaps you're balancing breastfeeding and pumping, considering supplementation, or trying to adjust a feeding routine that no longer seems to work.
You might also be receiving different advice from family, friends, or healthcare providers and feeling unsure which recommendations apply to your situation.
Feeding plans aren't meant to be rigid schedules or a list of rules you have to follow perfectly.
We'll look at your baby's feeding patterns, your current routine, and your family's goals to create a plan that provides helpful structure while leaving room for flexibility.

We Look Together
When appropriate, I'll observe a feeding and review latch, positioning, feeding cues, or bottle-feeding techniques. We'll also discuss pumping, supplementation, and any patterns that may be affecting your routine.

Compassionate Care
for Both Baby and Parent.
I'm Julie Baumgartner, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with more than 30 years of healthcare experience supporting families and infant feeding.
I know how frustrating it can feel when you're trying your best to feed your baby but still aren't sure whether you're doing the right things. Between changing routines, different opinions, and the demands of everyday life, feeding decisions can become exhausting.
My approach is calm, practical, and individualized. I'll take time to understand your baby's feeding patterns, listen to your concerns, and help you create a plan that feels realistic for your family.
I believe feeding guidance should give you clarity, not another set of expectations to worry about. Whether you're breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, or combining methods, we'll focus on an approach that supports your goals without unnecessary pressure.
My goal is to help you feel informed, supported, and confident in the decisions you're making for your baby.
Personalized Feeding Plans for Families Across
St. Augustine & St. Johns County
Flexible feeding guidance that grows and changes with your baby's needs.
A feeding plan should make your day feel more manageable, not more complicated. Whether you're trying to establish a consistent routine, balance breastfeeding with pumping, or understand how much and how often your baby needs to eat, we'll focus on creating a plan that reflects your baby's feeding patterns and your family's goals.
As your baby grows, feeding needs and routines naturally change. You may need to adjust pumping schedules, introduce bottles, change supplementation routines, or find a new balance between different feeding methods. I'll help you understand how to approach those transitions and recognize when your plan may need to change.
My goal is to give you a clearer understanding of your baby's feeding needs and a practical approach you can feel comfortable following, with enough flexibility to adapt as your family moves through different stages.
