Do you need a lactation consultant?
I offer both virtual and in home appointments
I love to meet with families before birth to go over what to expect and to plan for your specific needs. A one on one prenatal session can get you off to the best possible start.
The postpartum period is a whirlwind of new things and experiences. Every person's experience is different and one of my favorite things is to get to know a new family and be present for their own journey.
I believe that lactation support is important whether or not you are experiencing a specific problem or just want some peace of mind. Sometimes a visit is for educational purposes just to plan for what comes next!
Here is an incomplete list of reasons you may want to work with a lactation consultant-
- Prenatal education and planning
- Nipple or breast pain with nursing or pumping
- Concerns about your supply (either too much or too little)
- Concerns about tongue or lip ties
- Weight gain issues with your baby
- Introducing bottles
- Returning to work
- Pumping concerns
- Introducing solids
- Weaning
- Any worries at all!
