Meet Melanie Henstrom, IBCLC -

Expert Lactation Support and Infant Craniosacral Therapy in Boise

I started Boise Lactation because I know firsthand how challenging (and rewarding) breastfeeding can be. As a mother of six—including a set of twins—I’ve personally experienced the ups and downs of breastfeeding. But I also know that with the right support and resources, breastfeeding can be a positive and successful journey.

Why Work with Me?

✔ Personal Experience – I breastfed all six of my children, so I truly understand the challenges and emotions that come with it.

✔ Expert Training – As an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) in Boise, I have advanced training to help you navigate latch issues, low milk supply, tongue ties, and more.

✔ Baby Bodywork Specialist – I’ve spent years learning infant massage, Craniosacral Therapy (CST), Cranial Fascia Therapy (CFT), and Myofascial Release (MFR) to support babies struggling with tension or oral restrictions that impact breastfeeding.

I founded Baby Bonds in 2017 to serve the Boise community and have since expanded my practice under Melanie Henstrom Lactation, LLC. I offer:

✔Breast pump delivery & prenatal consults

✔ In-home and virtual lactation consultations

✔Tongue tie support & assessments

✔Infant bodywork for better feeding function

With over 2,500 families helped, my mission is to provide the best lactation care in Boise. I’ve also created online resources to educate parents on common breastfeeding challenges—especially tongue ties (don’t get me started!).

If you’re looking for an IBCLC in Boise who combines experience, education, and hands-on support, I’d love to help you and your baby thrive.
