Would HIGHLY recommend! Melanie has been SO amazing and helpful during the many challenges Iāve faced while breastfeeding. She helped me with my sonās SEVERE tongue, lip, and cheek ties. As well as when I faced painful clogged milk ducts and inflammation. Most importantly she was respectful and supportive of what I wanted for me and my child every step of the way.

Dr. Cheyenne is fabulous! She was so great with our baby and did such a wonderful job taking all the time we needed to explain all the ins and outs of what we were dealing with so we could make informed decisions on next steps. She is very knowledgeable on all things baby, and specializes in taking a whole-body approach to tethered oral tissue. 10/10 recommend!
Melanie Kondrat, IBCLC
The area's leading lactation consultant focusing on tethered oral tissues and owner of Dragonfly Lactation, Melanie has three babies of her own.. all of which have had ties.
Because of this personal experience andĀ her passion for educating parents from first latch to last, she jumped at the opportunity to create this unique model of care.

"Melanie was such a help to me and my baby! She came highly recommended by lots of local friends who I trust, and did not disappoint. She was able to assess us with a really knowledgeable eye, and then match us up with just the right other providers in the area who could help us solve our challenges. She and Dr. Cheyenne at Milestones Therapy and Wellness were a great team and both solved major pieces of the puzzle. We ended up being able to breastfeed pain-free for as long as (baby) wanted!" - Momma of Three
