Postpartum Lactation Consultation (Home Visit)

Offered in the comfort of your own home, we will work together to tackle your breastfeeding/lactation or infant feeding problems. A home visit is a great option for those who are in need of hands on support and assistance. The visit will last between 1.5- 2 hours and is typically scheduled to begin about 30 minutes before an expected feeding (the goal is to observe a full feeding during this visit, which can be difficult if baby eats shortly before I arrive).

Visits include:

  • Complete review of your medical and birth history and a discussion of your current concerns

  • Feeding observation with recommendations on positioning and latch to optimize milk transfer and minimize pain

  • A functional oral assessment of your baby and evaluation regarding any restrictions or oral dysfunction that may impact baby’s ability to remove milk or feed without causing pain

  • A weighed feed (using my scale with a 2g sensitivity), where we will weigh baby prior to feeding and again after to assess what their intake is

  • Flange fitting to ensure you’re using the right size flange when pumping (this is important for comfort and milk output). I have a variety of flanges that you can try and together we will determine what works best for you.

We will discuss any questions or concerns you may have and you will be provided with evidence-based recommendations, education, and support. Together, we will develop a personalized care plan that works for you and your family.

Most importantly, you will be listened to, and seen! My only goal is for you to feel more confident and empowered to feed your baby!

Consultations include two weeks of text/e-mail follow up and support.

Virtual Lactation Consultation

A virtual consultation is perfect for many issues that may not require hands on support. Topics that are easily covered in virtual consults include:

  • Pumping

  • Planning to return to work

  • Increasing or decreasing milk supply

  • Inducing lactation or re-lactating

  • Assessing/improving oral function

  • Bottle refusal/difficulty

Assistance with positioning and latch may be attainable via a virtual consultation, but it will be crucial to have an extra set of hands that can move the phone/camera so that I can see what is happening.

Prenatal Consultation (in-person or virtual)

Prenatal consultations are perfect for those who want to get a head start on breastfeeding or want to set themselves up for success. Maybe this is your first baby or maybe you’ve had difficulties breastfeeding in the past. You may also be expecting a baby and wanting to induce lactation. Either way, a prenatal consultation will include:

  • A thorough review of your medical history, including identifying any factors that may make breastfeeding a little more challenging

  • A private breastfeeding class that will provide you with an abundance of information and education to help you feel empowered to get breastfeeding off to a solid start

  • A plan for establishing successful feeding in the first 72 hours after baby’s birth and quick access to an in person visit once your baby is here.
