Lactation Support & Education Services

A Lactation consultation provides a new breastfeeding mother the necessary support needed when a lactation challenge arises.

Professional Consultations offer a broad range of services, which include everything from teaching a new mom how to position her baby on the breast, healing nipple injury, giving her tips on how to increase her milk supply, how to handle a breast infection or how to handle engorgement.

They can also devise special feeding strategies for multiples, or infants, with special circumstances. Even months into breast-feeding, moms who want help finding a good pump or figuring out how to nurse while starting their babies on solid foods can benefit from hiring a pro.

Sometimes the most valuable commodity a lactation consultation offers is simple reassurance—either affirmation that you are doing great as a mother even if you're struggling, or concrete proof that breast-feeding is indeed working well.

Typically one in person visit is sufficient with follow up visits handled over the phone to insure the success of what was learned in the consultation.

Having professional assistance can offer peace of mind during a potentially stressful time by answering questions, giving advice, and helping to troubleshoot breastfeeding problems. Having the proper support can be the catalyst to meeting your long term breastfeeding goals, and assist you to continue to nurse your baby through challenging obstacles that may arise.
