Meet Chelsea Phillips
Breastfeeding can be a magical experience between mother and baby. However, not everyone’s breastfeeding journey gets off to such a great start. When infant feeding issues arise, families need a dedicated and knowledgeable team to help them reach a solution. Research has shown that families that receive professional lactation care have higher rates of breastfeeding success and meet their infant feeding goals more often than those who go it alone.
Meet our lactation consultant, Chelsea Phillips! Chelsea is an Internationally Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). She attended one of the only dual certification programs in the country and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Maternal Child Health and Human Lactation to meet all of the educational and clinical requirements to sit for the IBCLC board exam. Chelsea graduated in 2020 and received her IBCLC certification in 2021. This rigorous training has allowed Chelsea to help families with both complex and standard feeding issues over the last 2 years. Her passion for breastfeeding and chiropractic care comes from personal experience with her daughter’s own tongue and lip ties. After realizing there weren’t many knowledgeable resources in the Kansas City area to help families with complex breastfeeding issues, Chelsea decided to obtain her IBCLC.

My Goal
“My goal as an IBCLC is to educate, support, and empower expecting and postpartum families when it comes to breastfeeding. I specialize in oral dysfunction and oral tethers as well as common feeding issues. I help families get to the root cause of their breastfeeding issues so that they may meet their feeding goals and continue to grow and nurture healthy happy babies! I’m excited to provide collaborative care and be a resource for families navigating through feeding issues.” – Chelsea
Feeding issues and chiropractic care go hand-in-hand. When an infant is experiencing issues with latch or milk transfer, often times body work (chiropractic care, Craniosacral Therapy, etc.) may be needing to help unwind the tension in an infant’s body after being in the womb for 9 months. Mommy & Me is excited to partner with Chelsea at Naturally Nourished Lactation to offer lactation services in our office! Chelsea will be offering group and private prenatal breastfeeding classes, private lactation consults, oral dysfunction/oral tether assessment, as well as offering a free monthly breastfeeding support group.
