How do I know if I need lactation support?

Common reasons moms need breastfeeding support are: painful or uncomfortable latch, engorgement discomfort, baby is not gaining weight, baby screams at breast, milk supply concerns, baby wanting to breastfeed constantly, tongue/lip tie evaluation, questions about pumping, feeding routines, how to tell if baby is getting enough to eat, weaning, and reassurance in breastfeeding.

What if I need immediate help?

If you need immediate support, please email me. If I can’t see you in person, I would be happy to do a Virtual Session with you over Zoom or troubleshoot with you over the phone. Just reach out and we’ll figure something out.

Is it worth it to see a Lactation Specialist?

Yes! If you are having any of the above struggles or just need validation that things are going well, a Lactation Specialist is vital in empowering you in your breastfeeding journey. The one-on-one time to get questions answered is invaluable. Many times the breastfeeding issues are easy fixes that can be resolved in one session.

Do I need more than one visit?

Most of the time feeding issues can be resolved in one session. If multiple sessions are required, it will be a case by case basis.

What if I have other kids in the home during the visit?

No problem at all! I have 3 kids of my own and have 7 siblings. I welcome any and all interruptions. If you’re comfortable with it, I’m comfortable with it. I love including siblings to learn about the new baby.

Aren’t lactation visits just for newborns?

Most of the time, yes, but not always. Babies older than 12 weeks are not considered newborn. However, if you are having breastfeeding difficulties or have questions about returning to work, pumping, etc., a lactation visit will be beneficial to you.

Can you help with twins?

I love helping with twins! I can absolutely help you.

I had a lactation visit but I still have questions. What do I do?

Just text me or email me! I want to be in your corner as you continue to breastfeed. If something comes up after our visit that you need addressed, I will do my best to answer all of your questions in a timely manner.
