Lactation & Infant Sleep Consultant

About Hoola Health

Hoola Health (formerly BabyMD) is a pediatric healthcare provider focused on making healthcare less clinical, less intimidating, and more human for children of all ages and the parents raising them.
As families’ needs evolve, Hoola Health provides child-first healthcare that adapts from early childhood through adolescence. Our clinics are thoughtfully designed to create a welcoming setting for children while enabling honest, jargon-free conversations with parents.
From approachable outpatient care and stress-free vaccination experiences to therapy that fits into real family life, Hoola Health aims to be a supportive partner in parenting — without judgment or unsolicited advice.

This role goes beyond feeding support. You will help mothers with the emotional and practical sides of new parenthood, guide families on healthy infant routines, and build long-term relationships with the families you work with. Candidates who also understand infant sleep will be given preference.
