About me

Hi Parents. I’m Shari Thompson, mom of 4 and Board-Certified Lactation Consultant. I’ve been helping parents in many areas of the hospital (mom/baby, NICU, and Peds) feed, bond, and care for their newborns and children. I have 20 years experience as a floor nurse, with 9 1/2 of those years being dedicated exclusively to Lactation. I welcome and support all parents feeding goals: breastfeeding, pumping, and even combo with formula if desired. Educational consults (prenatal, back to work & bottles, introducing solids, and weaning) and problem consults offered. I also have a local home office, spacious and family friendly. Let me know how I can best serve your family.

Service introduction

I love providing Lactation support to families in South Jersey. From Prenatal Breastfeeding Consultations all the way to weaning your baby, and everything in between! Office visits in Glendora, NJ 08029, and home visits within 20 miles ($40 fee). Many insurances cover 6 free home, office, or telehealth visits. However, the $40 convenience/fee applies if I travel to your home and is not covered or reimbursed by insurance. Self-pay is also available if your insurance is not eligible. Schedule me for latching difficulty, nipple/breast pain, exclusive pumping, low milk supply, infant weight loss, oversupply, infant reflux, plugged ducts/mastitis, pumping problems, back to work, introducing solids, weaning, and more!! Supporting all feeding goals, even supplementing with formula. I’m here to help you enjoy feeding and this precious time with your baby.
