Virtual Appointments are recommend due to covid
In-Home Consultation
Due to current covid precautions in-home visits are being done on a case by case basis.
After your baby is born you may have questions about breastfeeding and feel that you would like the one on one attention a lactation consult offers.
A consultation generally last about 1 1/2 - 2 hours, sometimes longer for more complex issues. I will take a general health, birth and medical history. By doing a pre and post-feed weight with a specialized, highly accurate pediatric scale I am able to calculate how much milk your baby is getting at the breast at the appointment as well as assess your baby’s growth.
At the consultation I will observe a full feeding and we will spend time working on how each baby attaches to the breast while experimenting with positioning to insure that you are both comfortable. After a full assessment and with plenty of time to answer all of your questions, together we will devise a plan that feels workable for you.
Before I leave we will have time to answer all your breastfeeding questions, write an individual care plan, which a copy will be sent to your baby's pediatrician. A superbill with insurance codes will be given to you so you may apply for reimbursement from your insurance company. I don't participate in any specific plan due to the nature of the profession. Payment is due at the time of the consultation.
As an added service to the moms i help breastfeed, i include follow up phone calls and emails in the fee. This way you have my guidance through out your breastfeeding time.Cancellations:
