Prenatal
Knowledge is power! After your baby’s birth, the amount of information you receive in the hospital can be overwhelming.
A prenatal session gives you the opportunity to gain breastfeeding knowledge before your baby arrives. It provides you with information that is specific to you and your family. This session can help prepare you and your family for what you may experience in regard to your baby’s nutritional needs in the first days and will facilitates you reaching your specific goals.

Moms contact a lactation consultant after baby arrives for various reasons:
· Difficulty or painful latching

The initial consult will include: in-depth health history for mom and birth/feeding history for baby, breast/nipple exam, infant oral exam, observation/assessment of a feeding or breast pumping session with interventions as needed, coordination of care with mom’s obstetrician and/or baby’s pediatrician.
Telehealth
Telehealth has grown in popularity and has been utilized frequently in the last year. Many things can be accomplished during a telehealth visit. During on online visit we will discuss feeding topics, observe a feed or pumping session and assess the breasts/nipples as necessary. We will also develop an individualized plan.
There are some things that are better accomplished in-home. Many times during a telehealth visit we can determine if follow-up visits can remain telehealth or if an in-home would be best.
Follow-Up & Beyond INfancy
These visits are for established clients with an ongoing need for support. Although one visit can get a lot accomplished, some issues require further care. These visits are also for new topics as they arise such as: returning to work, starting solid feeds, pumping, and weaning.
