Common reasons to seek lactation support…
Painful latch
It can be hard to discern whether latch discomfort is your body getting used to the increase in nipple stimuli or something more. Pain is a good indicator that adjustments need to be made.
Suspected infant oral restrictions
Tongue-ties are becoming a common household topic for new families. Assessing oral restrictions will always be paired with education on various remedial options to support informed decision making when a tongue-tie is suspected.
Supply concerns
Perceived low milk supply is one of the leading reasons for early weaning, and over-supply can lead to a host of uncomfortable consequences.
Combination feeding
Each family is unique, and sometimes combination feeding is necessary or desired. This can include nursing, pumping, the use of donor milk, or formula, and any combination therein. There is no right way to feed your baby.
Complex medical history
Breast augmentation, reduction or trauma, PCOS or other hormonal disorders, hypertension/preeclampsia and postpartum hemhorrage are just a few maternal health conditions that may effect lactation.
Clogged ducts
Over-supply, nipple blebs, or insufficient emptying of the breasts can all lead to clogged ducts. There are remedies to help alleviate this discomfort and avoid the progression to mastitis.
…and so much more.

Infant Feeding Support
Initial In-home Lactation Visit — $200
Although each consult is flexible to accommodate for your individual needs, you can expect these to occur at your visit:
infant and maternal medical history
infant oral assessment
breast exam (if needed)
assessment of a feeding
pre and post feed infant weight check (if desired)
I approach each lactation visit with the understanding that every family has different needs and that you will determine the best path forward for you and your baby’s feeding experience. We’ll work together to set a plan that supports those goals. This initial visit typically take 1.5-2 hours.
Follow-up Visit — $160
When follow-up visits are desired or become necessary, we will walk through many of the same assessments that occur in initial consults and reevaluate how existing feeding plans have been going. We can expect to spend 1-2 hours together.
Telehealth Visit — $160
In some cases, telehealth visits are an ideal option. Please contact me to discuss if a virtual appointment will work for you.
Prenatal Visit — $75
Prenatal lactation education can help ensure a positive breastfeeding experience. Schedule and appointment with me to learn about basic lactation education including:
basic physiology of lactation
normal infant behavior
steps to take to promote a successful start to breastfeeding
Bring your questions for a truly individualized educational experience.
