Lactation Support
As a Certified Lactation Counselor, I provide breast and bottle feeding support. Sometimes newborns are able to feed without a problem. Other times, the baby and mother may experience breastfeeding challenges.
Most expectant mothers have a deep desire to provide breastmilk to their babies. Almost all mothers can breastfeed or provide breastmilk. My desire is to help you realize your feeding goal through any challenge. I will help you develop a plan for your goal and work collaboratively with your care team.
As a certified lactation counselor, I support all feeding methods. If you are bottle-feeding or plan to, I will demonstrate paced bottle feeding and discuss pumping, bottle choice, burping techniques, formula selection, and how to prepare it. We will also discuss how to recognize your baby’s feeding cues, satiation signals, and expected intake needs, whether breastfeeding or bottle-feeding.
Certified Lactation Counselor Services:
Because early support makes a difference, schedule a breastfeeding visit within the first few days after birth.
Your in-home visit includes:
- A history of your health and your birth
- A feeding history and assessment of newborn health
- A weighted feeding
- A personalized care plan
- Additional resources and referrals as needed
“I wanted to thank you again for your support and encouragement for me to continue pumping and nursing! I’m almost 5 months going strong after your encouragement. I really am proud of how long I’ve been able to go and will continue as long as I can. Thank you again for your encouragement—it really made a difference!” Mikaela
