Our Services
In Person Breastfeeding Consultation
This is our most requested and recommended service! Being in person with you, one on one, is the most accurate way we can help troubleshoot a problem or simply see a latch!
Classes Coming Soon!
Prenatal Breastfeeding Class
This class is a great way to prepare for your upcoming delivery. Knowledge is power when it comes to breastfeeding and birth. This class covers all the breastfeeding basics of what to expect right after baby is born and establish confidence in you! We will discuss my favorite hour, the Golden Hour, breastfeeding positions, what colostrum is and how to store it, how to achieve a deep latch and any questions you may have. We can also take a look at your specific pump so you’re familiar with it before baby’s arrival.
The Newborn Care Class
This class is all about the baby! We will discuss normal feeding patterns and cues, how to change a diaper, how to hold and swaddle a baby, demonstrate a baby bath and what to expect in the hospital / birth center after birth.
What is the Golden Hour?
The uninterrupted hour after birth when the baby is placed on the mother’s chest for skin to skin contact. This sacred hour has incredible benefits for both the mother and baby. One of the advantages of the golden hour is stimulating the mother’s milk production!

Each consultation is unique and personalized to meet the specific needs of both mom and baby. The visit will include a thorough medical history for both mom and baby, assessment of the baby's oral anatomy and function, and the condition of your breasts. The latch will be assessed as well as mom’s overall comfort during the feeding. The baby will be weighed using a specialized breastfeeding scale before and after the feeding as one way to determine milk transfer. Together, we will develop a plan of care that's personalized to meet you and your baby’s unique needs.
