Service introduction

I can come to your home for an in person visit, or I can do a telephone consultation. The in home visit includes a detailed history of mom and baby, a weighted feed (to see what baby is transferring at the breast), an observation of a feeding, and a plan for making breastfeeding a journey of success. This visit will also include any referrals that may need done and a lactation consult note emailed to the baby’s provider.
