Hi, i’m the lactation consultant
My name is Jessica Hopp, and I'm an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant in Orangevale, CA. I feel strongly about helping new parents navigate the challenges of feeding their baby with confidence, education, and joy. I want to help you achieve your feeding goals in a way that works for your entire family! I provide personalized care and build lasting relationships. My goals are to empower your family with evidence-based techniques and provide you with a safe environment where you can ask any questions. I want to ensure that all women and their families have the physical and emotional love and support they need during pregnancy labor, and the postpartum months. Whether you are expecting your first child or you are a seasoned pro, each pregnancy and breastfeeding journey is unique. I’m here to help you achieve your goals, whatever they may be. My journey began from a young age, I’ve always loved taking care of babies. Throughout my young adult life, I have worked in daycares, children’s activity centers, and was a nanny for 10 years. I have a degree in maternal and child health with a minor in human lactation. In addition, I am an IBCLC (International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant). I have been a postpartum doula/newborn care specialist and have many hours volunteering in labor and delivery at hospitals. I have a true passion for helping mothers through their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. When I'm not helping new parents feed their babies, you can find me working on our homestead where we raise and grow our own food, all organic and farm-fresh with my husband and toddler.
breastfeeding isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it.

when should i see a lactation consultant?
nipple pain
Just because pain is common when you’re learning to breastfeed, doesn’t mean it’s normal! If your nipples are cracked, bleeding, or damaged, or if you’re beginning to dread feeding, you need a breastfeeding specialist.
latch issues
Sometimes your baby won’t nurse well, even if you’re doing everything right. A professional can help you make a few adjustments to improve feeding for everyone.
supply concerns
If you’ve got concerns about your supply, I can help you figure out what might be happening, and provide you with tips or strategies to increase your milk supply.
blocked ducts
Blocked ducts can be common throughout a breastfeeding journey. Let me help you resolve them and teach you how to avoid letting them develop into mastitis.
pumping plans
Which pump do you need? How and when do you pump, and for how long? How do you know if you’ve got the right size flanges? I can walk you through Pumping 101!
a difficult delivery
Sometimes, a difficult birth or a caesarean can have an impact on your breastfeeding relationship. I can help you overcome issues like nursing after surgery, delayed milk production, a preterm baby, or a baby in the NICU.

lactation support involves...
personalized consultations
Personalized consultations are tailored to your unique needs and concerns. In these sessions, a lactation consultant offers one-on-one guidance, addressing specific breastfeeding challenges such as latch issues, milk supply concerns, or feeding difficulties. These consultations provide a supportive environment where you can openly discuss your experiences and receive individualized strategies to overcome breastfeeding hurdles effectively.
education & resources
Support packages include access to comprehensive educational materials and resources. These materials cover a wide range of topics such as breastfeeding techniques, proper latch and positioning, troubleshooting common breastfeeding problems, and advice on maintaining a healthy breastfeeding journey. These resources are invaluable references, empowering you with knowledge and confidence!
follow-up guidance
One of the key perks of a support package is ongoing follow-up support. Beyond the initial consultation, lactation consultants often offer follow-up sessions to track progress, address new concerns, and fine-tune strategies. This continuous guidance ensures that you receive sustained support and encouragement, allowing for adjustments and personalized recommendations as your breastfeeding journey evolves.
Grateful does not even begin to describe how we feel for Jessica. She saved my lactation life and my nursing journey with my son. She worked me through issues that I didn’t even know existed including a two-week nursing strike from my son. I was at the lowest of lows and moments away from giving up when she pushed me and stuck by my side. Without her I would’ve given up and would no longer be nursing my son. And here we are at six months with a wonderful nursing relationship! She went above and beyond the required care and I instantly knew that she truly cared for my son and me. I will have her in my corner for every hopeful birth in my future and will suggest her to every woman I know! She is loved by the Kyle family.
