LACTATION COUNSELING
Lactation can be a complex biophysical process that requires guidance, patience, perseverance and on-going support. In order to figure out how to best feed your baby comfortably and confidently, I offer Lactation Counseling sessions. I begin by discussing your feeding goals and how to go about meeting them. No matter what those goals may be, I will be right beside you, encouraging you if you encounter challenges, including physical, emotional and situational.
AS A LACTATION COUNSELOR, I AIM TO PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING SERVICES, UPON REQUEST AND AS TIME PERMITS:
Offer guidance and support for pregnant people and new parents regarding lactation and nursing.
Conduct comprehensive assessment of parent and baby related to lactation and nursing.
Develop a care plan specific to the needs identified through assessment and counseling.
Assess the needs of parents and babies who are at risk or currently experiencing lactation difficulties.
Provide referrals to other providers as needed or requested.
For more information, please set up a 30-minute virtual consultation with me.
