Prenatal breastfeeding planning
The best way to treat breastfeeding issues is to prevent them! This 45-60 minute prenatal consultation is designed to educate and prepare your family for breastfeeding. The appointment is customized to your specific needs and concerns. Prenatal consults include a health history evaluation to identify any potential breastfeeding roadblocks so we can make a care plan to over come these obstacles successfully.
-
discuss your personal goals and preferences
review your health history and how that may impact breastfeeding
get fitted for your pump and review how/when to use it!
build trust with an IBCLC that can visit you when baby arrives
Postpartum breastfeeding support
We believe every parent deserves a follow-up on arriving home with their newborn. Whether itâs to answer questions about latch, provide reassurance or advice about your newbornâs weight gain, or to help with pain, we are here to ease the stress of those early days.
-
Ideally we have met prenatally to provide guidance and are a familiar face. Either way, text anytime 24/7 at (619) 567-8146 to let us know your baby is here and we will schedule to see you soon!
The initial 60-75 minute consultation typically includes a full feeding assessment, weight check with a pediatric scale, and written individual plan of care created specifically for you. At times, more than one consultation will be needed, but many issues are resolved in as little as one to two visits.
-
Many families need breastfeeding assistance within 3-5 days postpartum. If you have a planned induction or cesarean date, you can book a postpartum consultation in advance for peace of mind that a Certified Lactation Consultant will be there to answer any questions you may have when your little one comes home. Booking in advance gives you the best start towards a beautiful breastfeeding journey.
