Lactation Support

Supposedly the most “natural” thing a new parent will do is often one of the most difficult, with good reason! It’s something brand new for your baby, often brand new for you as a parent, and as the two (or three) of you navigate these new experiences it can help to have a little extra, specialized support.

 

Adjustment of positioning and latch technique

Discussion of frequency and duration of feedings

Discussion of any identified need or desire to supplement

Individualized care plans

Referrals as necessary

Appointments may also include information and education on pumping, returning to work, and bottle feeding.
