Lactation Services

No matter what your feeding goals are or how your breast/chestfeeding journey is going I provide calm, individualized, and judgment-free care.

Prior to appointments we may discuss relevant health history, any feeding concerns you have, and very importantly, your feeding goals.

During our visit I will observe nursing sessions and concerns you may have stated, ask you more questions, obtain a pre and post feed weight of your baby, and offer hands-on support. We will talk about an individualized plan going forward. Ask any and all questions! During followup visits we will also evaluate how things are going and make adjustments to the plan. If truly truly needed, I will have feeding tools and devices with me (nipple shield, supplemental feeding systems, and more).

After appointments I will send you relevant materials, resources, or referrals and we will keep in touch. Feel free to email, text, or call me with questions over the following two weeks.
