Prenatal Visits
Prenatal visits allow us to discuss your personal goals of breastfeeding and to set up an individualized plan prior to giving birth. We will explore breast pumps, positioning, latch technique, and discuss any potential challenges to your unique breastfeeding journey!
Initial Consultations
Initial consultations include a thorough review of your medical history and assistance with latch and positioning techniques. I will also do a weighted feed, meaning I will weigh your baby with a special scale before and after a feed so we know exactly how much milk your little one was able to transfer!
Follow Up Visits
After an initial consult, I will provide ongoing assistance and guidance throughout your breastfeeding journey, ensuring that we effectively address any challenges you may encounter along the way. We’ll continue weighted feeds, latch and positioning assessments, and anything else you may need!
Weight Checks
You’re pretty sure your baby is latching well and your positioning is just right.. but you just aren’t sure if baby is getting enough milk to grow! I can help with that, too! We can do a quick weight check on that special scale to make sure your little one’s weight is progressing appropriately.
“Becoming a mother leaves no woman as it found her. It unravels her and rebuilds her. It cracks her open, takes her to her edges. It’s both beautiful and brutal; often at the same time.”
