Lactation Support
Nursing a baby (or babies!) can be beautiful, fulfilling, and joyful. It can also be complicated, stressful, and painful. As a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, I provide care and education throughout the feeding journey.
Some situations I commonly support families through include, but are not limited to:​
-
assessing latch and assisting with positions
-
establishing supply in the early days
-
learning to pump and bottle feed
-
starting solid foods
-
adjusting a low or over supply
-
weaning​
Consults take place in the comfort of your own home and last between 1-2 hours.
The cost is $60.
​
I also offer private Prenatal Breastfeeding Classes that cover how to prepare, what to expect at each stage, how to troubleshoot basic problems, the truth behind common myths, how to make the transition to pumping/bottlefeeding as stress-free as possible, basic lactation biology, and more! A partner or other support person is encouraged to join, and we can talk about ways for them to be involved. Classes last about 2 hours, and 1 week of text/email support is included (so don't worry if you forget to ask something during our session!)
The cost is $100.
