Are you concerned with infant weight gain, milk supply, nipple pain, latching/positioning issues, plugged ducts, or mastitis?

These visits are also ideal for individuals inducing lactation and require guidance after baby arrives, those wanting to relactate, and those who want to wean.

  ​

• I will then observe a feed if baby is ready to eat. Visit may include a pre- and post feed weigh-in if relevant to the visit.

  ​

• I will provide feedback on adjusting of latching/positioning to improve the latch for your comfort and to try to optimize milk transfer for your baby.

This type of visit is ideal for frequent pumpers, those who plan to start pumping, and exclusive pumpers.

What can I expect from this type of visit?

• I will come to your home to discuss your specific pumping goals, help you learning about your pump functions and pump maintenance, proper milk storage guidelines, and establishing a solid and consistent pumping routine. We will also work on finding the right sized flange for you, and (if relevant) help provide guidance on planning your transition back to work as a pumping parent to continue to maximize your milk production. Topics such as introducing the bottle, bottle types/nipple flow, and bottle refusal troubleshooting are also included with this service.
