Learn to love breastfeeding... not just survive it.​

Rooted in Compassion, 

Helping You Bloom in Confidence.

Breastfeeding Support in Southeastern PA.

You imagined snuggling your baby, feeling that bond, feeding them with ease.

Instead, it’s pain. Worry. Exhaustion.

 

Maybe your baby won’t latch. Maybe your supply is all over the place. Maybe you’re stuck triple feeding and wondering how much longer you can keep this up.

 

And everywhere you turn, it feels like no one really gets it.

 

You’re not failing. You just need the right support.

Root and Bloom LLC Favicon

Hi, I’m Tarah. Your guide at Root and Bloom.

I’m an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), a mom of three, and someone who’s walked through the messy, emotional, middle-of-the-night moments of breastfeeding.

 

I created Root and Bloom because I know what it feels like to want to breastfeed — and to need help making it work. I’ve been there with latch pain, supply stress, and all the “you should just…” comments that only make it worse.

 

This work is deeply personal to me. And that’s why every consult is grounded in both clinical expertise and compassionate care.

You’re the expert on your baby. I’m here to support you.

Whether you’re prepping during pregnancy, stuck in the middle of a feeding struggle, or thinking about weaning, I’ll meet you where you are — physically, emotionally, and logistically.

 

I’m not here to tell you what to do. I’m here to listen, support, and guide you with a plan that actually works for your life.

 

Let’s make feeding your baby feel better — together.

Prenatal Breastfeeding Prep

Feel prepared before baby arrives. In this one-hour session, we’ll talk through what to expect in the early days, how to get a good latch, signs baby is feeding well, and how to prevent common issues before they start.

Postpartum Lactation Consults

Struggling with latch, supply, pain, or just feeling overwhelmed? I provide personalized support in the comfort of your own home (or virtually) to help you troubleshoot and feel confident feeding your baby.

Pumping + Return-to-Work

Whether you’re going back to work or just want to build a freezer stash, I’ll help you choose the right pump, set a sustainable schedule, and understand how to protect your milk supply.

Weaning Guidance and Support

Ready to transition away from breastfeeding? I’ll support you with a gentle plan that respects both your body and your baby’s needs — whether weaning happens gradually or all at once.
