Postpartum Lactation Consults:
This in-home service begins with a comprehensive 90-min evaluation to address difficulties, review milk stimulation techniques, ask questions and create a plan. I will observe your feeding session, help modify if necessary, take pre & post feeding weights and resources will be provided for next steps. The follow-up sessions can be anywhere from 60-90 minutes depending on your needs. In these sessions I will continue to support and assess the basics of breastfeeding but also your baby’s oral motor skills and overall tensions in the body that affect feeding.
