LACTATION SERVICES

Whether you’re nursing, bottle feeding or doing a combination, I can observe a feeding and make suggestions about ways you can adjust your body, bottle, or baby. I can teach you the basics of nursing, help you understand normal feeding patterns, and teach you how to recognize whether your baby is getting enough milk. If you’re feeding formula, I can provide information about safe formula preparation, baby's feeding cues, and paced bottle feeding.

I can get you started with pump set up and use, provide guidance about storing milk, and help you come up with a pumping and bottle feeding routine, including a back-to-work plan. I can also advise you on tips for weaning.
