Dr. Stephanie Canale, MD

Lactation Lab was born out of my own personal experience. Breastfeeding was difficult for me -- incredibly painful, time consuming and exhausting. When my second child was born, I resolved to breastfeed exclusively - I thought if I just tried harder, it all would be easier. However, my daughter was diagnosed as “failure to thrive”, meaning that she was not getting enough nutrients to grow.

As a physician at UCLA -- with a practice largely consisting of new mothers and babies -- I looked everywhere for answers. I thought, “of all the lab tests I can order, why is there no way of knowing what is in my own milk?” An abundance of studies showed diet modification had a positive impact on breast milk quality and infant health outcomes.

In early 2017, I began testing breastfeeding patients in my practice and guiding their diets according to the research to help improve their milk quality. The progress my patients were making was so encouraging that I resolved to make this type of support available for as many families as I could. I founded Lactation Lab with the mission to provide parents with scientific and evidence-based insights, resources, and guidance. I believe that every mom deserves access to information on how basic lifestyle changes can improve the quality of her breast milk and optimize her child’s health and nutrition. This possibility is at our fingertips. Whatever your views or preferences are for breastfeeding, we hope to support you in making the choices that are best for you and your family. With all the uncertainties there are during motherhood, we strive to eliminate the guesswork for this one.
