What we do together in a Postpartum Lactation Consult:

First visits are typically 90-120 minutes to give us time for a thorough history, a feeding, and a plan of care on how to move forward on your feeding journey. Included is:

• An evaluation of baby’s suck for range of motion and function

• An assessment of feeding, including latch and positioning

• A weighed feeding: baby is weighed before and after a feeding to measure transfer of milk

• A personalized plan of care for baby and parent

• A report sent to your care provider(s)

• Paperwork to file with your insurance. Some insurance companies will reimburse you for our services - check with your provider to see if lactation visits are covered.
