Lactation and feeding support for families who are ready to feel empowered and connected at the breast and beyond.
In home visits in Lubbock, TX and virtual support across the United States.
You’re trying everything to make feeding your baby feel calm and connected, but every feed STILL feels like a struggle .
You’ve read the blogs, asked for help, and done “all the right things,” and you’re starting to wonder why it’s still so hard.
Feeding your baby wasn’t supposed to feel this overwhelming. Maybe breastfeeding hurts, your baby struggles to stay latched, or mealtimes end in tears. Instead of the calm, connected moments you imagined, you’re left feeling confused, exhausted, and worried you’re missing something. You just want feeding to feel natural again — for both you and your baby.
Meet Kelly Standke
Hi I’m Kelly, a Speech-Language Pathologist and Certified Lactation Counselor who helps families with lactation and feeding challenges through personalized, family-centered support.
My work is rooted in connection, compassion, and evidence-based care that honors each baby’s unique feeding journey. When I had my first baby, I assumed breastfeeding would come naturally — but it didn’t. I experienced pain, latch difficulties, and repeated reassurance that “everything looked fine.” Deep down, I knew something more was going on. Drawing on my background as a Speech-Language Pathologist, I now specialize in lactation and pediatric feeding, combining clinical expertise with compassion to help families uncover the root cause of feeding challenges and move forward with confidence.

How we can work together
You don’t have to figure out feeding alone.
You’ve wondered if feeding your baby is supposed to be this hard. You’ve searched for answers late at night — “Why does breastfeeding hurt?”, “why won’t my baby eat?” “how do I stop mealtime battles?” “why does feeding feel so stressful?” You’ve tried new bottles, positions, foods, and routines, hoping something will finally click. You’re tired of worrying through every feed or meal and just want to understand what’s really going on.
