Lactation Consults

What is a lactation consult?
It is an appointment to get individual expert breastfeeding help.

we are here to help you! 

What types of issues can a lactation consult with?

• Low milk supply

• Oversupply: plugged ducts, mastitis

• Sore nipples

• Possible tongue or lip tie

• Premature and/or NICU graduate

• Need help with mixed feeding (formula and breastmilk)

• Any other feeding struggles

What happens during a consult?
We go over your and your baby's medical history and listen to you the mom, as the expert on your baby and your body, to better understand what's going on and how we can help. We also get a weight on the baby to see how they have grown and then usually get a before and after nursing weight to see how much milk they got when they nursed. We focus the appointment on whatever you are needing help with at the time.
