We'll cover chest/breastfeeding and other lactation basics in this two hour prenatal appointment. We'll learn about when and how to start latching, positioning, benefits of breastmilk, how to get off to a good start, understanding hunger cues, how to know if baby is getting enough milk, hand expression, and how to develop and maintain a good milk supply. We'll also go over frequently asked questions about nursing and some signs you could use additional support. We will also discuss your specific questions and medical history in relation to lactation. Prenatal visits are held in my office or virtually.

Depending on your situation and the reason for the consultation, this may include but is not limited to a feeding observation, weight check, physical exam, oral function exam/evaluation for possible oral ties, guidance on latch and positioning, weighted feed, pumping observation, feeding assessment, and general counseling and education on feeding.  I refer to other providers for body work, oral tie evaluation and release, and feeding or occupational therapy.

You've been the primary source of nutrition for your baby for the last year. Unsure if you want to keep nursing or feeling so tired you're not sure you can? Let's chat! The transition to nursing a toddler can be confusing and overwhelming for many, and it's such a different experience than nursing an infant. In this consultation we'll discuss setting boundaries, chat about what's different as your baby hits that big one year milestone, answer all your questions (including if you need to keep pumping), and so much more. For many parents, this consultation gives them the tools to feel comfortable feeding far beyond the one year mark without feeling excessively touched out or exhausted. 

Nursing to two years and beyond is not only recommended by the WHO and AAP, but it's such a beautiful parenting and bonding tool. Let me help you get there with confidence!

Are you interested in trying to breastfeed a baby in your life, but are not going to be pregnant to welcome that child? Situations where this may be relevant include growing a family via adoption or the non-carrying partner in a same-sex partnership (where that person was sex assigned female at birth). During an individual consultation we can discuss your goals for lactation and come up with a plan for trying to induce lactation even if you've never gone through a pregnancy. We can also discuss formula and mixed feeding if relevant so you can feel fully confident in feeding your kiddo.  Initial appointments are typically 90 mins to 2 hours.

Starting a new job or heading back to work after baby is born? Have to be separated for baby for a work trip or family obligation? 

In this consultation we can discuss your options and create a plan to maintain your milk supply while you're away. We will learn about milk storage options and best practices and discuss how much your baby needs while you're away. I will also help you develop a feeding plan to help avoid baby developing a preference for bottle. We can discuss bottle refusal options if that applies to your situation. Consultation can be done virtually or in-person depending on your needs and may include observation of a pumping session, introducing a bottle or demonstration of appropriate paced bottle feeding technique, cup feeding (as desired), pump flange sizing, hand expression tutorial, and more.  Appointments are typically 90 mins to 2 hours.

Planning to exclusively pump or have found yourself in that situation?

We can also discuss trying to get baby back to breast if that's of interest to you (note that while of course not guaranteed, it can be possible to get a baby back to breast even when they're several months old).
