What to expect in a breastfeeding consultation
Intake analysis
Before your first appointment, we will send you an intake form through a private and secure platform to gather information about your pregnancy, and birth, and to find out how you and your baby are doing.
Assessment and support
We will do a complete maternal and child feeding assessment, and offer individualized evidence-based approaches to improve breastfeeding. If you’re pumping, we will offer support and make sure your flanges fit properly.
Personalized plan
We’ll help you set and achieve your goals by creating a personalized plan for you and your family and leave you with a written plan. We will also offer referrals to other healthcare providers if needed. We’ll check in to see how you’re doing and answer any questions that come up.
