Welcome to Black Hills Breastfeeding and Beyond!

Hello! I'm Sydney, a Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator (LCCE). I founded Black Hills Breastfeeding and Beyond in 2021 due to the lack of personalized prenatal and postpartum support in our region. It has always been my dream to assist mothers wherever they may be in their experience, and today, I am fulfilling that dream. I have the privilege of providing prenatal classes and breastfeeding support, easing the transition into motherhood. From pregnancy to weaning, I offer lactation care and teach group classes to our community members.
When I'm not supporting families, you can find me enjoying the great outdoors, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, or participating in Church activities.

Supporting young families in our community brings me immeasurable joy and fulfillment. I genuinely hope to have the opportunity to support your family as well.
