Postpartum Consultations
Comprehensive Lactation Support
for Newborns & Beyond
Feeding challenges can come up at any stage and it can feel destabilizing. Whether you’re navigating the early days or troubleshooting something new with your older baby, lactation support can make a big difference. During a comprehensive in-person visit, I’ll assess what’s happening, answer your questions, and help you create a personalized plan that gets you and your little one back on track.
Note: Virtual visits can be helpful, but they do have limitations.
Without a weighted feed or full physical assessment, we might miss important clues.
In-person visits offer a more complete picture, but if virtual care feels like the right fit for now, I’m happy to meet you there.
If needed, we can always follow up with an in-person visit later.

Whatever your reason, you deserve compassionate lactation support to help you succeed. In this visit, we’ll talk about how to maintain your milk supply, answer your pumping questions, and create a schedule that works for your body, your baby, and your daily life.

This visit offers personalized lactation support to help you understand what to expect, explore different approaches, and plan for a transition that feels right for your family—no matter your child’s age.
