MY SERVICES
I am a Board Certified Lactation Consultant serving families through virtual appointments all over the country and in-home in the East Bay + Tri Valley. Each consultation is completely tailored to you and your needs. Feel free to contact me with any questions about my consultations.
POSTPARTUM LACTATION CONSULTATION
$325
Duration: 1-1.5 hours (In-home)
During this key visit we will use a feeding to address and resolve any breastfeeding concerns. Baby’s weight will be taken pre & post feed to measure milk transfer. We will practice proper latching techniques and breastfeeding positions that will work for you and baby at different stages. With permission, an oral exam of your baby will be performed to check for tongue mobility to ensure there are no restrictions that are negatively affecting breastfeeding. I provide a custom care plan so you can implement everything discussed, and continued support via text and email. In some cases, a follow-up is necessary.
