Hi There!
I’m Nila
As a registered dietitian and lactation consultant, I knew feeding my baby—both as a newborn and as they grew—would come with challenges. But I expected support when I needed it.
In the hospital, the lactation consultant took a quick glance at my latch, said it looked fine, handed me a flyer, and disappeared. When I got home and real problems set in, I had no referrals, no local resources—just me, trying to figure it out.
Later, when my toddler gagged on purees or flat-out refused meals I had carefully prepared, it was just me – again, trying to figure it out.
Outside of short, optional breastfeeding classes during pregnancy, no one really teaches us how to feed our kids. And yet, feeding them—from birth through childhood—becomes one of the most time-consuming and emotionally charged parts of parenting.
For all families, I want that time to be filled with connection and confidence, not frustration or feelings of failure. My goal is to help parents navigate feeding—whether breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, starting solids, or managing mealtime struggles—so they can feel empowered and enjoy these moments with their child.
