Savannah Pressley (she/her) is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) who joined Western Wake Pediatrics in 2024. She is dedicated to providing equitable lactation support and postpartum care. Her goal is to help facilitate appropriate infant feeding while also prioritizing parental physical and mental health.

She is passionate about maternal and infant health and is dedicated to advocating and empowering families to help reach their feeding goals.
Savannah discovered her passion for lactation and maternal and infant health while obtaining her BS and MS in Nutrition from NC State University. After receiving her IBCLC certification in 2018, she started her career in public health at the Granville Vance Health Department where she held multiple roles including Breastfeeding Coordinator, Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program Manager, Lactation Consultant, and Lead WIC Nutritionist. Through these roles, Savannah was able to provide lactation support, nutrition education, and supplemental food assistance to families in Granville and Vance counties.
After three years in public health, Savannah accepted a position as a full-time Lactation Consultant at a pediatric practice where she helped hundreds of families through their infant feeding journeys beginning at their newborn appointment up until weaning. Savannah’s most recent role was at Wake County WIC as a Nutritionist where she taught prenatal and postpartum infant feeding classes and assisted with clinical lactation concerns as a Designated Breastfeeding Expert.
Originally from Concord, NC, Savannah moved to Raleigh in 2013 for college where she met her wonderful husband. She moved to Durham, NC in 2020 and soon adopted her beloved pup. In her free time she enjoys reading, playing games, practicing mindfulness, and exploring local restaurants.
