About Breast for Baby

Being a parent can be confusing. So much information – Who do you trust? Our main focus is lactation, and feeding babies. Nothing else. Breast For Baby was founded, to prove new families the support Trine had a hard time finding as a new mom 20 years ago. We help parents by providing them the tools, support, and information to reach their feeding goals. Most professionals only get to look at one side of the feeding issue, either the parent, or the child. We get to look at both, and make a plan for how to make feeding enjoyable for everyone.

She/her | Owner, Mentor

Trine has lived in Mesa since 2004. She has been helping new parents since 2005, and worked as an IBCLC since 2009. She is the mother of two teenage children, and two hairless dogs. She offers office visits at our Mesa location in East Valley Midwifery.

I had my own struggles with feeding when I first became a mom. Helping new families grow confidence in their parenting skills, and trust in their own instinct, is the purpose of Breast For Baby.

Some of my specialty training and experience includes

  • Structure and function assessment
  • Functional assessment of oral ties
  • Guidance in oral habilitation after tie release procedure
  • Advanced Tummy Time Method training.
  • Therapeutic movement for social, emotional, and neurological development.
  • Bottle refusal
  • Pumping and flange fitting
  • Weaning and starting solids

I am an advanced skills lactation consultant, and I aim to incorporate a lot of this knowledge in my practice.”

She/her | IBCLC 

Heidi is an Arizona native, living in San Tan Valley with her family. She is an IBCLC and a mother to 2 children. Heidi has been working with Breast for Baby since she first started her IBCLC training. Before that she helped new families feed their babies as a community lactation supporter. She offers office visits at our Queen Creek location in Prestige Primary Care. 

“As long as I can remember I have felt excited about helping families. I worked as a birth doula in Tucson, and had my own children before starting my journey as an IBCLC.

For so many people breastfeeding can be a life altering experience. It became an area of passion for me after meeting some challenges with breastfeeding my own children and overcoming them. I love that I get to see new parents feel stronger each day as they transition into becoming a new family.” 

Some areas I have quite a bit of experience in and feel passionately about include

  • Induced lactation and re-lactation without birthing
  • Functional assessment of oral ties
  • Structure and function assessment
  • Guidance in oral habilitation after tie release procedure
  • Pumping and flange fitting
  • Exclusive pumping
  • Lactation in neurodivergent individuals
  • Handling of lactation after infant loss
  • Lactation and infant feeding in the LGBTQIA+ community

Testimonials

Killey B.

“We had the best experience learning how to breastfeed with Trine. She made me feel really comfortable and gave me the knowledge I needed to be successful. She also has a client portal that makes her available through messaging that has been so incredibly helpful for those quick questions or panic causing situations that can be handled with just a picture or a brief message. She is very uplifting and made me feel like no matter what happened, I was doing my very best and I was in charge of my situation. I highly recommend her.”

Kayla M.

“I would surely not be breast-feeding without the help of this wonderful and amazing woman. She sent me exactly where I needed to go when I was struggling. She was a shoulder to cry on and believed in me when others did not. Trine is an angel and I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you for being such a big part of my journey and success“

Brittany R.

“Trine has helped me through my breastfeeding troubles shortly after my baby was born and recommended some other great people for more support as well for my daughter’s ties and tension. I would definitely recommend you see her if you live in the east valley and are breastfeeding and experiencing any kind of issue!
