Compassionate, Expert Support for Your Feeding Journey
At Latch On To Me, we provide personalized lactation consulting to support families and caregivers in navigating breastfeeding, pumping, and infant feeding with confidence.
Our Story
Founded by Aliza Sternberg, Latch On To Me was created to offer families the compassionate support they need during their feeding journey. After facing her own challenges with breastfeeding, Aliza realized how essential expert guidance can be, not just for mothers but for all caregivers. With a background in marketing and a deep passion for lactation, she pursued extensive training and certifications to become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and established Latch On To Me.
Through her personal experiences—breastfeeding after cesareans, NICU stays, and returning to work—Aliza has developed a supportive, empathetic approach that helps families feel heard and equipped with the knowledge to make feeding work for them. Whether breastfeeding, pumping, or bottle feeding, Latch On To Me is here to guide you every step of the way.
