Lactation and Feeding Services
Home and Virtual Consults
Home Visits
I will bring my knowledge, supplies, and compassionate care to you, in your environment. This visit will be hands on, giving you guidance in real time with latch and positioning, as well as a weight check to help approximate milk intake.
Virtual Consults
If your need is for more education and a kind listening ear, a virtual visit may be more for you. We will address your lactation related topics via a private HIPAA complaint platform.
Prenatal Consultation
This is a one hour class designed to educate families about the basics of breastfeeding, best taken in the second or third trimester of pregnancy. Partners and/or other support people are encouraged to join us! We discuss how your body makes milk, benefits for you and baby, latch and positioning techniques, pumping, and how to get the best start after birth.
Lactation Consultation
Your comprehensive visit will include a maternal assessment, oral evaluation of baby, weight check, troubleshooting latch or positioning challenges, assessing milk supply, flange fitting and pumping guidance. Education is customized to meet your needs. Any support people are welcome to participate!
Back to Work Planning
We will work together to create a pumping plan and feeding schedule, optimize pumping effectiveness, flange fitting, review milk storage guidelines, bottle feeding basics, and stress reduction techniques. Caregivers are welcome to join!
Infant Feeding & Weaning
Are you transitioning baby from breast to bottle? Are you having difficulty with bottle feeding? Ready to introduce solids? Or, perhaps, are you ready to wean? This consult will provide guidance and education about these topics.
