Postnatal Consult
Virtual or In-Home Visit
During the in-home visit, which typically lasts around two hours, we will determine how much milk your baby is getting in a single feeding, regulate your milk supply, and troubleshoot any issues you are having with breastfeeding or bottle feeding. Together we will come up with a plan so that you can reach your feeding goals. Sessions may include the following:
- assessing your baby’s latch and suck
- weighted feeds with sensitive scale (measuring milk intake from breast)
- managing milk supply
- pumping
- bottle feeding
- addressing painful feeding, sore nipples, & clogged ducts
- supplementing
- introducing solids
- going back to work & weaning
In addition to the clinical work we do together, I also like to offer parents tools & tips for managing the postpartum period. As a doula & yoga instructor our session will include additional support.
Together we will come up with a strategy to maximize your self care during this exciting, but sometimes overwhelming, time. Taking care of your baby is also about taking care of yourself.
