Flange Fitting & Bottle Feeding Support
Did you know most parents use the wrong flange size? This directly impacts your comfort and milk output.
Available prenatally and postpartum, we actively test your setup with every size—(never blindly measuring from a ruler!)—to maximize your milk output and comfort.
Flange fitting consults Includes clinical guidance for milk expression and ongoing sizing support afterwards.

Hi, I'm Nicole
Owner of The Village
When I became a mother in 2020, I thought I was ready. I was a maternity nurse — how hard could it be? But nothing prepared me for the exhaustion, the feeding challenges, or the emotional weight of it all. My son had colic, breastfeeding felt overwhelming, and I felt like I was failing at something I deeply desired — breastfeeding.
That experience changed everything.
It showed me firsthand how isolating postpartum can be — even for someone in the field. And it lit a fire in me to create The Village: a space where mothers feel seen, supported, and empowered.
Today, as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and nurse, I bring not only clinical knowledge but lived experience to my care. My goal is simple: to walk with you through the early days of motherhood with compassion, clarity, and community. You don’t have to do this alone — and with The Village, you won’t.
