Diana Solomon Lactation
About
I am an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant and I can help families with all forms of EDS (including rare forms) prepare to feed their babies. I have personal experience with this and also have chronic low milk supply. I encourage families to begin working with me before the baby is born. There is so much planning we can do to help things go more smoothly in the postpartum period, and with breastfeeding, this can make a big difference to outcomes due to the hormonal response immediately after birth. Of course I also see patients who first find me after their baby is born and there is still a lot we can do to make feeding feel more comfortable and sustainable with Ehlers-Danlos and its accompanying conditions. I can help with all aspects of infant feeding, whether a family is direct breastfeeding, pumping, combo feeding, or exclusively giving donor milk or formula. I provide non-judgmental care and support my patients however they feed their babies. Parental mental health is a passion of mine and I strive to help each family find a feeding plan that works for them. I accept many US insurance plans and should be in network with almost all plans by late winter 2026. My certification is international, so I can see patients from anywhere in the world online. I am just starting my clinical education of EDS but have many insights from my personal experience. If I don’t know the answer to something, I will work hard to find it. In 2026 I will be participating in three seminar series from EDS Echo, including the one for pediatrics, and I will also attend the EDS Society Female Health Summit. I have a bachelor’s in English and French literature from the University of Chicago and speak Portuguese (fluent), French (advanced), and Spanish (conversational). Please contact me if you are interested in having an appointment in one of these languages. You can follow me on Instagram and TikTok @diana.lactation, where I post about EDS, chronic pain, and low milk supply. I also run the Facebook group Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, & Baby Feeding: Chronic Illness & Ehlers-Danlos. Please see my website to book with me and for information on my free EDS, hypermobility, and chronic pain infant feeding support group.
