Our Services

Initial Consult

 

This visit is with your baby in the comfort of your own home. There is no need to get dressed or pack a diaper bag because I will come to you. We will have one in-person visit and one virtual follow up in the week following the initial consult.

During your appointment we will:

  • review health history

  • discuss birth and postpartum history for both the breastfeeding parent and child

  • complete a breast exam

  • complete an oral assessment on your baby

  • observe and assess feeding at the breast and/or by bottle, depending on your situation

  • observe and assess a pumping session if applicable

  • discuss and create a plan for the next two days

I will provide a written report to your healthcare provider(s).

We will meet again virtually a few days later to reassess the plan. You can email questions or concerns regarding this plan for the next week at no additional cost.

$175

Follow-Up Consult

 

Follow-Up consults are for established clients to continue support beyond the one week after the initial consult. This is intended for complex breastfeeding situations which need additional support.

Flange Fitting

 

This consult is for assessing the size of the nipple for getting a proper fit with a pump flange. Pump companies usually include two sizes and often they are far from the the right size! Getting the right size flange can help you pump the most milk. This consult is approximately 15 minutes via telehealth.

In this consult we may:

  • Observe and assess a pumping session

  • Discuss breastmilk storage

  • Discuss pump settings

Note: This visit does not cover a breastfeeding assessment.

$40
