Our Approach

At the Providence Lactation and Postpartum Clinic in Everett, our team works in close collaboration with Providence's maternal and newborn care teams to provide evidence-based support for you and your baby – from your first days home through the early weeks of your postpartum journey. We offer expert support from board-certified lactation nurses to help you feed, heal and feel confident in your baby’s first weeks.

You may benefit from a visit if you:

  • Are struggling with breastfeeding or maintaining your milk supply
  • Have concerns about your baby’s weight or whether they’re feeding enough
  • Need a newborn check before you can see your pediatrician
  • Were told your baby may have tongue-tie

Our Services

Our clinic offers support and specialized newborn care, including:

  • Breastfeeding support – We help new parents establish and maintain successful breastfeeding. Our certified lactation consultants can identify and address any issues or barriers you're experiencing, from latch difficulties to nipple pain to low supply.
  • Frenotomy for ankyloglossia, or tongue-tie – Tongue-tie can interfere with breastfeeding and cause nipple pain. We offer frenotomy procedures performed by Seattle Children's pediatricians. Once corrected, babies typically have improved tongue movement, leading to more effective feeding and less discomfort for you.
  • Newborn care and assessments – If you need a newborn check in the first 24–48 hours of life and can't get an appointment with your pediatric provider, we offer essential newborn assessments, including:
    • Blood lab draws to ensure your newborn is healthy and doesn’t require further intervention
    • Jaundice testing
    • Weight checks to confirm your baby is feeding adequately

Donate Breast Milk to Help Save a Baby’s Life

Your breast milk is a powerful gift. Human milk is the best nutrition for all babies – especially those born prematurely or with low birth weight. The Human Milk Depot at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett helps ensure your milk reaches babies who need it most.

By donating your extra breast milk, you can help provide life-saving nutrition to fragile infants in need. Donated breast milk provides sick and premature infants with optimal nutrition at the most critical time in their lives, supporting better survival rates and long-term health outcomes.

A donor milk bank is a service that collects, screens, processes and distributes donated human milk. Donor milk banks accept milk from lactating mothers who have undergone careful screening, similar to the way blood banks screen donors.

The milk is donated to a central milk bank for processing and then made available for purchase by hospitals and individuals for feeding sick and fragile infants.

You may be eligible to donate breast milk if you:

  • Are in good health
  • Are willing to donate at least 150 ounces
  • Aren’t taking medications, with some exceptions outlined below
  • Can complete a simple screening process, including bloodwork
  • Can provide medical release forms from your provider and your baby’s provider
  • Don’t smoke or use nicotine products
  • Have a baby who’s less than one year old

Some medications are compatible with donation, including:

  • Progestin-only birth control
  • Replacement hormones, such as insulin or thyroid medication
  • Vitamin and mineral supplements

Additional guidelines include:

  • Following a required waiting period after alcohol intake before donating
  • Limiting caffeine intake

Call the Providence Human Milk Depot at 425-258-7140 to learn more about donating. Our team will guide you through the screening and donation process.

Frequently Asked Questions

No referral is required. If you have concerns about your baby’s health, feeding or your postpartum recovery, you can call our clinic directly and our team will help schedule an appointment.

We recommend scheduling a visit within the first few days after you leave the hospital, or if you have any concerns about your baby’s health, feeding or your recovery.

During your visit, you’ll meet with a board-certified lactation specialist who will listen to your concerns and provide support. If you’d like, they can observe a feeding and assess your baby’s latch, while providing tips to ease any discomfort. The specialist may also check your baby’s weight, review feeding patterns and provide additional resources, if needed.

At a lactation visit, you’ll receive practical guidance and personalized support for you and your baby.

Ankyloglossia, commonly called tongue-tie, is a condition where the tissue under the tongue – the frenulum – attaches to the tip of the tongue, and is either too tight, thick or short. This can make breastfeeding less effective or uncomfortable.

A frenotomy is a simple, safe procedure that corrects the frenulum and improves tongue movement.

If you’re noticing any feeding challenges or pain during feedings, our team can evaluate your baby and determine if a frenotomy may help.
