Feeding struggles are more than a latch problem; they’re a whole-body experience. At Milky Way Infant Wellness, our team of lactation and bodywork experts work together to find real answers and support your baby from the inside out.
You’ve been told the latch looks fine. You’ve tried the tips. And yet something still feels off.
You’re doing everything you can for your baby. And when feeding feels harder than it should (fussiness at the breast, gassiness, slow weight gain, or a latch that just isn’t clicking), you deserve answers that go deeper than tips.
At Milky Way, we look at the whole picture. Feeding challenges often trace back to what’s happening in the body: tension in the neck or jaw, tongue tie affecting movement, or airway and breathing patterns that make nursing uncomfortable or tiring for baby. When you understand the root cause, everything changes.
That’s the Milky Way difference.
We bring together the expertise of a Registered Nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a Pediatric Physical Therapist with specialized training in airway and cranial mandibular function.
Ericka, IBCLC
International Board Certified Lactation Consultant
Ericka is passionate about supporting families from pregnancy through postpartum, offering compassionate, evidence-based care at every stage. With extensive training and multiple certifications, she brings both expertise and a down-to-earth approach, viewing families as active collaborators in finding solutions that fit their unique needs.
A retired military spouse, Ericka has supported families across diverse communities, providing lactation care, birth and postpartum doula services, and childbirth education. With over 15 years of experience in the birth world, she brings a deep understanding of resilience, adaptability, and the importance of strong support systems.
Dr. Juleah Cintron, PT, DPT
Pediatric Physical Therapist
Dr. Juleah has spent over a decade helping infants thrive — and her path to Milky Way was built on one core belief: that the body tells a complete story when you know how to listen. Her specialty is the intersection of airway, breathing, cranial mandibular function, and movement — and how all of those systems shape a baby’s ability to feed comfortably. She holds advanced training in Breathe Thrive Function and Mouth Magic, and is currently pursuing her IBCLC credential. At Milky Way, she brings whole-body answers to families who are ready for more than surface-level solutions.
Feeding is a whole-body experience — and at Milky Way, we treat it that way. Our integrated model means your baby is seen by a team who communicates, collaborates, and cares. You won’t be bouncing between providers who don’t talk to each other. You’ll have one cohesive plan, built around your baby’s unique needs.
We are proud to be working toward credentialing with the Lactation Network and Wildflower Health so that our lactation services can be covered by insurance — because this kind of care should be accessible to every family who needs it.
If you’ve been told everything looks fine but something still feels off…trust that instinct.
We’d love to be the team that finally helps you find the answers.
