What to expect

I'm looking forward to meeting you and your little one. I know babies, especially newborns, can be on their own schedule. I will bring my scale and ideally we'll do a weighted feed where we weigh baby before a feeding and right after, to see their intake in the feeding. It is best if baby is ready to eat close to when I get there, although again I understand that is not always possible.

I want you to be comfortable, I would like to sit and talk and see you nurse wherever you normally do in the home.

I'll ask you some questions about how often baby eats and how much, if any, supplementing you are doing, so if you need to write it down to remember you can do it for a day or so before our visit.

Continual Care

At least one or two follow up appointments are typically recommended to monitor your progress with breastfeeding. New or different challenges can pop up as well, and usually as many visits as needed are covered by insurance.

I love to follow along your journey and support you through the different steps of the process. Often I will see families weekly for some time and then more spaced out afterwards. It depends on the individual situation and we will figure out a plan together.
