We come to your home, weigh your baby and perform an oral assessment. All IBCLCs are trained in oral assessment and tongue function.
We examine your breasts for any trauma, discuss sore nipples and latch. An expectation for us is to sit through a full nursing session with you and your baby and help with positioning & the logistics of latch.
A lactation care plan is tailored for your individual family. We want you to do what works for you.
Follow up is through email and phone conversations for as long as you need us.
Usually you will need extra follow up for encouragement and further direction but we can do that in the capacity you prefer. Your nursing relationship changes with days, and months and we support you in the entirety of your nursing relationship.
A report is always provided to your Pediatrician and OB/GYN or midwife for you and your baby to inform them that you are under our care. We charge per consult and collect fees at the time of each visit. There is a base fee for mileage for insurance billed consults but we do not charge by the time we are in your home.
We have a $75 cancellation fee with less than a 24 hour notification. We schedule around the needs of our mothers and want to be available to them all.
