In-office Consultation
This is a good option for:
- hands-on help
- full oral & physical assessment of infant
- hands-on assessment of breast-related issues
- in-person learning
- weighing baby, or measuring intake at the breast
- when your home is not in our service radius
In every consult, we work with you to create a care plan unique to you and your little one and refer to other providers, such as bodyworkers, various therapists, or dentists/doctors, as needed. In each visit we address the highest priority items that time allows. Multiple visits are often needed to address complicated situations. In addition, lactation needs often change as time goes on and future visits might be needed to discuss returning to work, bottle feeding, starting solids, ongoing milk production, etc. It is not uncommon to need 3 or more visits.
Some topics appropriate to an office setting:
- breastfeeding management
- latch and positioning
- oral ties
- milk transfer
- weight assessment
- bottle feeding
- pumping optimization
- breast/nipple concerns
- improving feeding after oral tie release
