LACTATION CONSULTATIONS
In-Home Consultations
Have a lactation professional come to your home to observe a feeding with your newborn and conduct a weighted feeding, which provides an estimate of how much breastmilk baby is taking at the breast. You will receive up to two weeks of access to me via phone calls/texts/emails for any questions or concerns.

We can work on latching and positioning via a Google Meet call, and you receive up to two weeks of access to me via phone calls/texts/emails for any questions or concerns.
