Picture
What does a lactation visit look like?
You will fill out some history and intake paperwork before you come in or at the beginning of your visit. You'll tell me your concerns about breastfeeding and what you’d like to accomplish at this visit and your long term breastfeeding goals. I will take a look in the baby’s mouth to see if there is anything out of the ordinary. I'll assess the mother’s breasts and nipples for damage and glandular tissue. Often I will weigh the baby on our medical scale before a feeding and after to determine milk transfer. During a feeding, you’ll receive positioning and latch assistance. I will use tools like nipple shields, supplemental nursing systems, bottles, donor milk, etc sparingly and as needed. 

After the history, physical, and feeding assessment, together we will create a plan to improve your breastfeeding relationship. The goal is for you to be confident and comfortable with breastfeeding. I can assure you that I will work with you to determine the best plan for what works for you and your baby.

If a breastfeeding situation is outside of my expertise, I will refer you to another care provider who specializes.
