At Wisco Lactation, many families first come to us for feeding support in the early days but what happens next matters just as much.
We’ve been listening closely to what parents are experiencing beyond latch and pumping: ongoing symptoms, questions about food sensitivities, uncertainty around starting solids, and the overwhelming amount of conflicting advice online.
That’s why we’re so excited to announce something new.

Coming Soon: Virtual Nutrition Services for the Prenatal & Postpartum Period, Advanced Guidance for Introducing Solids, and Infant Allergies
We are expanding our care to include specialized nutrition support from a registered dietitian designed specifically for moms and babies.
These services will be:
100% virtual (available anywhere in Wisconsin)
Often covered by insurance, with flexible cash-pay options available
Rooted in evidence-based, wholistic care
Why Nutrition Support Matters More Than You Think
Postpartum recovery and infant feeding don’t happen in isolation they are deeply connected to nutrition.
Many parents are navigating:
Exhaustion, brain fog, or slow recovery after birth
Concerns about milk supply or energy levels
Babies with reflux, eczema, or suspected food sensitivities
Confusion about how and when to start solids
And too often, they’re left trying to piece together answers on their own.
But nutrition plays a foundational role in all of it from hormone balance and healing to digestion, immune function, and infant development.
Support for Babies with Allergies & Food Sensitivities
If your baby is showing signs like fussiness, digestive discomfort, skin changes, or feeding challenges, food sensitivities may be part of the picture.
Food allergies occur when the immune system reacts to specific proteins, and symptoms can range from mild digestive issues to more significant reactions.
Our registered dietitian helps families:
Identify potential food triggers without unnecessary restriction
Support breastfeeding moms through safe, guided elimination diets
Ensure both parent and baby maintain proper nutrition
Navigate formula options when needed
Create a clear plan for reintroducing foods with confidence
For some babies, proteins from foods like dairy, gluten, eggs and more can pass through breastmilk and contribute to symptoms making a thoughtful, guided approach essential.
Guidance for Starting Solids (Without the Overwhelm)
Starting solids is exciting, but it can also feel like a lot of pressure. When should you start?What foods come first?How do you introduce allergens safely?What if your baby refuses foods?
Our IBCLC Lactation Consultants and dietitian help take the guesswork out of this stage by:
Creating a personalized plan based on your baby’s readiness
Supporting both purées and baby-led weaning approaches
Guiding safe and timely allergen introduction
Ensuring your baby is meeting key nutritional needs for growth
Helping prevent or manage early picky eating patterns
Early nutrition and feeding practices can have a lasting impact on a child’s relationship with food and even their risk of developing allergies.
Whole-Family Support, Rooted in Real Life
What makes this different is our approach. We’re not here to hand you a restrictive list of foods or a one-size-fits-all plan. We’re here to:
Look at the full picture
Support your goals and feeding preferences
Protect your nutrition while supporting your baby
Simplify the process so you feel confident; not overwhelmed
Because when a parent feels nourished and supported, everything else becomes more manageable.
