What to Expect During a Lactation Consultation
A consultation with our private practice IBCLC typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes and is designed to meet the unique needs of you and your baby.
Prior to your visit, we will ask you to sign a consent form giving permission to work with you and your baby and allowing personalized, hands-on lactation care.
With your permission, your lactation consultant will perform a gentle assessment of your breasts and your baby's oral anatomy. If appropriate, we may weigh your baby before and after a feeding using a sensitive scale to estimate milk transfer.
We will offer support with latch, positioning, and any breastfeeding or bottle-feeding challenges. You will leave with evidence-based tools, tips, and a custom care plan created just for you that we will develop TOGETHER.
