After welcoming your newborn, coping with breastfeeding challenges can be unexpected, stressful and highly emotional. As an experienced lactation consultant, I follow evidence-based practices and help sort through conflicting advice you may hear. I identify the origin of your breastfeeding issues and assist in developing a personalized care plan to resolve them. I have an excellent track record of meeting my client's goals.
Research has shown that mothers who receive help in the early days are likely to have an easier time breastfeeding and tend to breastfeed longer.
In the comfort of your own home, or in my office, I offer comprehensive, individualized client-centered care. An initial consultation appointment is generally 2 hours and includes:
comprehensive birth, breastfeeding and medical history
assessment of nipples and breasts
discussion of current lactation concern(s)
assessment of infant weight
assessment of infant oral anatomy
evaluation of latch and milk transfer
review of baby’s growth and feeding patterns
referrals to other services or health care professionals
personalized and detailed care plan
insurance documents to submit for insurance reimbursement
