Our Lactation Services

During these sessions, we collect health histories on you and your baby/babies, observe a feeding, and co-create a plan aimed at improving your situation. Depending on your needs and goals, we can address concerns you have regarding feeding comfort and efficiency, milk production, milk expression, and infant weight gain.

Expect these consultations to take 1.5-2 hours. For twins, these consultations may run over 2 hours.

Craft a game plan for feeding success before your baby arrives! These consultations offer a more tailored approach to planning ahead than a group class can provide. They are also helpful for those planning on adopting a baby and/or inducing lactation. This service is available in the office only.

Our Back-to-Work Consultations help you successfully navigate a smooth transition back to employment. We will work together to develop a plan that addresses the specifics of your employment needs, your milk production, and your baby’s/babies’ feeding pattern(s). These consultations often include a pumping session and a custom flange fitting. We carry a wide variety of flanges that work with many of today’s most commonly used pumps.

Please note: If you desire feeding assistance, please schedule a Lactation/Feeding Consultation so that we have more time to help you.

Back-to-work consultations are provided in the office and they typically take 45-60 minutes.

The most common goals of a Pumping Consultation include making sure that your flanges fit properly, that your pump is working optimally and that your pumping plan helps you efficiently meet your milk-making goals. We carry a wide variety of flanges that work with many of today’s most commonly used pumps.

These consultations are a good fit for those who are exclusively pumping and want a customized plan, for those having any kind of pain or poor milk flow with pumping, and for those who are curious about how best to incorporate some pumping into their well-established feeding rhythm.

For those wanting pumping help for employment-related reasons, schedule a Back-to-Work Consultation.

Please note: For clients wanting pumping and feeding help, schedule a Lactation/Feeding Consultation so we have more time to assist you with both your pumping and your feeding needs.

Expect your Pumping Consultation to take 45-60 minutes. This consult is offered in the office only.
