In-Home and Office Lactation Consultations
Prenatal Consult:
This will be up to an hour and a half of discussion and education to answer any questions you may have, set a plan for reaching your goals and provide breastfeeding education. This is also ideal for the person who will be delivering multiples or who has concerns about health history related to milk production, breast surgery, previous breastfeeding difficulties or challenges with anatomy. We will formulate a plan before baby arrives.
Initial Consult:
We will go over your main concern(s), goals and evaluate a feeding. Topics (including, but not limited to): Latch/positioning, breast/nipple care, breastfeeding aids (if applicable), pumping/milk storage, diet/nutrition/medications, establishing/maintaining a milk supply, infant oral assessment, breast assessment, pre/post feeding weight and developing an in depth plan to meet your goals. We have found that clients who have 2 or more visits tend to have optimal outcomes.
Follow Up Consult:
For established clients only. Follow up to check in on progress and change the plan as needed.
Exclusive Pumping Consult:
This is for the EP mamas! Learn how to pump more milk, create a pumping schedule, learn about milk storage/handling, learn about paced bottle feeding techniques/proper feeding amounts and get your flange size checked.
Back-to-work Consult:
This is a consult to help you manage breastfeeding and work. We will help you devise a customized pumping and feeding plan to prepare you and your baby for the transition.
Induced Lactation/Re-Laction Consult
We can help you to induce lactation for adoptive and surrogate families as well as assist with relactation for those that have lactated previously and wish to produce milk again.
Bottle Refusal Consult
I specialize in helping babies who have never taken a bottle or stopped taking the bottle suddenly. Bottle refusal can be very challenging and stressful. I am well-equipped to help parents and their babies navigate this confusing territory. This is solvable in most cases!
Intro to Solids
Learn all about this fun time of introducing family foods to your baby while also preserving and protecting your feeding relationship. There is a lot of inaccurate information, myths and methods to parse through. We can do it together!
Weaning Consults
Weaning can be an emotional and confusing time. Sometimes weaning happens gradually and other times it is (or is needing to be) abrupt. I can help to navigate this with a customized plan for your specific needs.
