Lactation Consultations
Prenatal Lactation Consultations
A consultation before baby arrives will address your breastfeeding concerns and together you and Sara or Angela will design a best practice plan for your breastfeeding journey. This plan is individualized based on your history, anatomy and goals for breastfeeding.
Postnatal Lactation consultations
Sara or Angela will assess your baby's oral anatomy, your breast anatomy, observe your baby's latch and feeding. She will assist with latch, positioning, holds, and together you will design a plan for going forward. Sara or Angela will follow up after the consultation by phone.
We aim to serve any mom who needs lactation services. Please reach out to schedule your appointment.
