Birth, Boobs, Babies, and Beyond

Here at Birth, Boobs, Babies & Beyond we strive to provide compassionate, inclusive, and expert care to support you on the journey through parenthood. Karen Meade is a board-certified lactation consultant, infant care/feeding specialist, childbirth educator, registered nurse, and craniosacral fascial therapist.

Postpartum parenthood is a joyful and wonderful time, but it can also be exhausting and overwhelming especially if you are struggling with lactation and breastfeeding. We’re here to help you create sustainable goals with your family’s well-being as the first priority.

In Office

Bring your baby and chosen support person(s) with you to our Royersford office located within B4 Village now in the former Royersford Baptist Church Nursery School

In Home

Stay in the comfort of your own home and we will come to you for a nominal cash/Venmo travel convenience fee.

Virtual

Not ready to venture out and/or have guests yet? We can see you virtually via the Internet.

Not sure if you need an individual appointment or just want to connect with other lactating parents? We host a free, weekly breastfeeding and pumping discussion group at B4 Village in Royersford on Tuesdays at 11 AM. All parents, babies, toddlers and preschoolers are welcome to attend regardless of how you are currently feeding your little one. A scale is available for weight checks and weighted feeds, and there is always an IBCLC and/or lactation intern available to answer questions.

Karen truly saved my breastfeeding journey – I met her when I was literally in tears saying I wanted to give up. She has helped me through my nursing issues, and medical and nutritional issues in my newborn. I can’t ever recommend her enough! Not to mention, she’s just a great, caring, compassionate person, and wants nothing more than for the moms, babies, families, etc. in her care to be happy and fulfilled, both physically and mentally.

Every baby is born to breastfeed; some just need a little help from an IBCLC.
