I am a Certified Physician Assistant practicing in Women’s Health, Certified Lactation Counselor, and mother of two! It is my goal to reach expectant and current mamas who want to breastfeed with knowledge and confidence. Moreover, it is my goal to provide resources to accomplish this in an accessible and affordable way. Getting the breastfeeding education you want and need should not be only for those privileged enough to have a Lactation Consultant at their pediatrician office or the money to pay for a private consult. That’s why I offer a lot of free breastfeeding information on my Instagram page @MadeToMotherLactation, and this is why my e-book “Breastfeeding Foundations” is an instant download on my website (or available on Kindle), and was priced with affordability in mind. I sincerely hope Made to Mother Lactation is a source of encouragement, knowledge, and support for you. What a privilege it is to be trusted by you to walk alongside you in this beautiful stage of motherhood!

I'm an experienced IBCLC who has a passion for finding -and working to resolve- root causes. I love "lactation detective work" for complex cases and I love grounding myself in the biological norm as a blueprint for breastfeeding. I work hard to be inclusive in my practice in every way possible. I have especially deep dived into issues surrounding tongue tie and low milk supply. I have 4 kids who have helped me understand, more than anything, that there is more than one "right" way to parent. I believe in the instincts of the parents I work with and always honor their place as the primary member(s) of the infant feeding team.

Hi! My name is Heather Carreon. I am a Registered Nurse and IBCLC. I have over 10 years experience with postpartum mothers and infants. I live in Clayton, NC with my husband 3 children. Although I had knowledge as a lactation consultant and postpartum nurse, my personal breastfeeding experience as a new mother was definitely an educational process. I struggled in various ways with my own infants and sought help from colleagues. My personal journey has given me a new and relatable perspective about the breastfeeding challenges mothers face. Without tailored guidance in the early weeks, breastfeeding can be very frustrating. My aim is to provide you with compassionate support and education to help families reach their breastfeeding goals.

I was blessed to attend my first birth at 18 and loved being a support for my friend. At that time in life, I didn’t know what a doula was or even that this was a career. After that experience, I was blessed to attend several births including c-sections, and have helped several people with lactation right after birth. No matter what stage of pregnancy, I am a safe space for you. From 2018-2023 I had the opportunity to nurture and love babies from 0 to 24m in foster care. I brought several babies home from the hospital and was blessed to help them through their first few months, showing them what it means to be heard, supported, and loved. I am passionate about supporting families during the pre and post-birth processes, regardless of the outcome. I feel called to this line of work and am excited to connect with you. I am excited to serve be serving, Wake, Johnston, & Wayne County with education and support during one of the biggest experiences of your life.
