Prenatal lactation Consultations

Prenatal breastfeeding consults are held virtually or in-home and tailored for your goals.

Our prenatal sessions are discussion based and tailored to your needs. You can expect to:

• Discuss your infant feeding goals and past medical history

• Understand what to anticipate in the hospital, the first hours and days after birth, and how to advocate for yourself and baby

• Learn the essentials of lactating and how our milk supply works, as well as newborn feeding and behavioral habits

• Become familiar with breastfeeding positioning and infant latch techniques, and how to avoid nipple pain

• Learn about when breastmilk or formula supplementation is needed beyond the breast and options to safely feed baby while protecting your supply

• Discuss useful tools, supplies, and resources for lactation, breastfeeding and bottle feeding, and what to bring in your hospital bag

• Develop a care plan to meet your goals
