Breastfeeding is a skill that you and your baby will learn together. It can sometimes feel a little more complicated than imagined. You may find you need extra support, especially in the first few weeks. Our team of lactation counselors are here to help you with fact based information and steadfast guidance on your infant feeding journey.
SUPPORT IN YOUR HOME, VIRTUALLY OR AT THE HOSPITAL
We offer non-judgmental, clinical support and counseling, based on you, your baby and your feeding goals. Our team of certified lactation counselors come to you in your home or at the hospital and offer follow up visits and phone support. Whether it is an uncomfortable latch, a milk supply concern or you just aren't sure, we've got you covered!
The first visit will be about two hours to ensure enough time to observe more than one feeding and make appropriate recommendations. Virtual counseling sessions are also available upon request.
BREASTFEEDING CLASS
We recommend taking our Breastfeeding Class during pregnancy to arm yourself with factual information that will lead to your success. Gain fundamental and basic breastfeeding knowledge to help you have realistic goals and expectations for feeding your newborn. Topics include: latching, how often to feed, how to know baby is getting enough, pumping, feeding cues and more. Register here.
