In the comfort of your home, we arrive at a mutually agreed upon time to ensure your baby is ready to breastfeed.
An initial lactation consult is typically 1-1.5 hours in length and there are no extra or hidden costs if we run over time.
A full history of your pregnancy, you and your baby’s health, birth and breastfeeding story so far. I can carry out an oral assessment to help identify any oral restrictions that may be impacting on your breastfeeding or bottle feeding.
Before baby breastfeeds as needed, perform a pre-feed weight and a then a post-feed weight at the end of the feed with a highly accurate baby weigh scale that calculates an estimate of how much milk your baby drinks from the breast.
Observe & assess the entire feed and offer a variety of suggestions and recommendations. Offer hands on support as needed to support with latching and positioning your baby during a feeding. The goal is to bring you and your baby to a place where breastfeeding is more enjoyable.
At the end of the consult, an overall summary via e-mail with a written feeding plan, recommendations, and resources will be sent 24-48 hours after the visit.

More Details
This session gives you an opportunity to discuss any breastfeeding issue or query that you have and includes a breastfeeding assessment and observation of a feed (if you are comfortable with this – it’s completely optional)
If you have had a previous consultation, the session can also be used to review how the feeding plan has been working for you and your babies (or babies), and to discuss any further options that you would like to explore.
