Offered in the comfort of your own home, we will work together to address and resolve 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 (prior to consult)

• 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 pre- and post-weighed feed (using my scale with a 2g sensitivity), to assess infant’s intake, will be taken if needed

• Flange fitting to ensure you’re using the right size flange when pumping (this is important for comfort and milk output)

• Education on milk collection & storage, bottle feeding, including positioning, pacing and teat options

• Creation of a sustainable, personalized feeding care plan, with your input, that will evolve as feeding improves

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

• 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.

Have a few questions that you don’t think will take too long? I offer a mini virtual visit.

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. 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.
