About Me
Hi, I’m Carlie Schofield, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), mom of three, and world explorer.
I have a passion for supporting Women’s Health. I’ve spent years working with women all over the world: in Ghana, Africa teaching about HIV/AIDS; at SLC WIC helping women learn to breastfeed; in Berlin, Germany, leading an English speaking lactation/feeding support group; and as a postpartum doula, helping new parents navigate this new life change. Here in Boulder, CO, I run an infant feeding support group, and provide in-home infant feeding consultations.
After the premature birth of my second baby, I navigated my own feeding challenges with the support of great lactation consultants. I knew then that I wanted to provide new parents the same love and support that I received. I’ve never loved any job more!
It is a privilege to be part of a family’s journey. I love working together to reach feeding goals, provide information, and give support. The baby snuggles are the icing on the cake!
How I can Help
Painful Latch/Nipple Pain
Nursing shouldn't be painful. If you are experiencing sore nipples, pinching, or trouble getting a deep latch, we offer gentle, hands-on latch assessments to identify root causes and restore comfortable, pain-free feeding for you and your baby.
Low Milk Supply/Oversupply
Whether you are concerned about low milk supply or managing oversupply and engorgement, we create evidence-based care plans tailored to your body. Learn safe ways to boost your yield or manage milk flow comfortably without compromising your well-being.
Weighted Feeds/Weight Gain Concerns
Gain clarity on how much milk your baby receives during a nursing session with precise pre- and post-feed weigh-ins using professional pediatric scales. Perfect for tracking milk transfer, optimizing feeding efficiency, and ensuring healthy infant weight gain.
Pumping/Flange Fitting
Using the wrong flange size can cause discomfort, tissue trauma, and reduced milk output. During a flange fitting session, we measure and test various sizes and shield styles to ensure your pump setup is comfortable, safe, and efficient.
Tongue Tie and Oral Function
Oral restrictions like tongue-ties or lip-ties can impact a baby's ability to latch and transfer milk effectively. We conduct thorough oral function evaluations, coordinate with pediatric specialists, and provide pre- and post-frenotomy therapy support.
Bottle Refusal/Introduction
Struggling to introduce a bottle to a breastfed baby? We utilize gentle, baby-led strategies to ease bottle aversion, test nipple flow rates, and establish smooth feeding transitions without stress or tears.
Returning to Work
Transition back to work or build a flexible pumping routine with total confidence. We help you establish an efficient pumping schedule, optimize output, safely store breast milk, and balance work commitments with your nursing goals.
Prenatal Breastfeeding Education
Prepare for a confident breastfeeding journey before your baby arrives. Our personalized prenatal lactation consultations help you understand proper latch techniques, milk supply creation, and what to expect in the first days post-birth—giving you peace of mind and a clear feeding plan.
