WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM A CONSULT?

​

Lactation Consultations are available in my conveniently located professional office space, or in the comfort of your own home. They are confidential, comprehensive consultations that include:

 

• A focused medical history

• A detailed assessment of the presenting concerns

• An anatomical assessment of mom and baby

• Hands on assistance with feeding and/or pumping

• A weighted feeding

• Information, education and support

• An individualized written plan of care

• Referrals and follow up care as appropriate

​

Assessment information may be sent to your pediatrician or other healthcare providers by request. Breastfeeding aids may be recommended, which may be available for use at the time of the consult, or can be purchased from a retailer of your choice following the consult. Two weeks of follow up support via email is always included. In person follow up visits and weight checks are also available. 

​

Families that seek care may be struggling with: latching difficulties, breast or nipple pain, nipple damage, recurrent clogs, thrush, or mastitis, insufficient milk supply, infant weight loss, slow gain, or failure to thrive, potential allergies or intolerances, anatomical challenges, oral restrictions, prescribed supplementation, breast refusal, re-lactation, pumping challenges, bottle refusal, breastfeeding after breast surgery, and an array of other circumstances or concerns. Combination feeding families, exclusive pumpers, and chestfeeding dyads are welcome! Families who wish to consult with an IBCLC prenatally, or just for a check in, even if breastfeeding is going well, are absolutely welcome too. 

​

My areas of advanced expertise include: tongue and lip ties, NICU graduates, weaning off of supplemental feedings, and bringing bottle fed babies back to breast. 

​

My consultations are highly personalized, in depth, and informative. I am judgement free, supportive and realistic. You will not be dissapointed.
