-
Prenatal Lactation Consultations are encouraged! These prenatal visits allow you to gather important information and knowledge to help you feel more confident and prepared to breastfeed from the moment your baby is born! Another benefit of a private prenatal lactation consultation is getting a flange fitting done so you can be prepared with a correct flange if pumping is necessary sooner than expected.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR MY CONSULTATION
-
If possible, we recommend not feeding your baby right before our visit so we can observe a feeding together. If your baby needs to feed before our appointment, please feed your baby! We will still maximize our time together and get a start on creating a plan for you to reach your goals.
-
Bring yourself and your baby if we are working on latching challenges. If you are pumping or bottle feeding, it is helpful to bring these items to our consultation as well. If your baby is receiving any supplement or experiencing bottle refusal, please bring breastmilk or formula to your visit.

We are happy to support you in your home. We are professional practitioners, not visitors. We do not care about your laundry piles or dirty dishes!
