Becky LaBombard is a Certified Lactation Counselor offering personalized lactation care and education prenatally at Empowered Midwifery Care. With a Master of Science in Education and certification through the Academy for Lactation Practice and Policy, Becky blends clinical knowledge with deep empathy and lived experience. After years of breastfeeding her own three children and developing corporate lactation programs, she felt called to serve families directly—helping them feed their babies with confidence, compassion, and support.

Every client at Empowered Midwifery Care receives a one-hour prenatal lactation consultation as part of their care—because whether you’re a first-time parent or seasoned pro, there’s always something new to learn and explore. Common topics during your prenatal lactation consultation include milk production and what to expect in the early days, latching and positioning, recognizing effective milk transfer, nipple pain and engorgement prevention, personalized feeding goals, pumping basics and flange sizing, processing prior breastfeeding experiences and troubleshooting for a different experience this time around, expectation management and building community lactation support. 

Becky owns and operates The Milk Mentor and The Upstate Lactation Collective and is passionate about fostering inclusive community spaces for families and fellow professionals. Collaborative, trauma-informed, and identity-affirming care are at the heart of the work she does. She looks forward to educating, guiding and supporting you on your infant feeding journey.
