General Postpartum Consults
Initial Comprehensive Lactation Visit for Newborns & Beyond
Get help with latching, nipple pain, milk supply, decoding infant behavior related to feeding, pumping, bottle introduction, bottle refusal, relactation and more.
$200 for 1.5 hour appointment
+$50 per additional baby (twins, triplets, etc). Additional time given.
*Virtual visits, though wonderful, can be very limited when trying to pinpoint feeding challenges. There will be no weighted feed and an incomplete physical assessment of baby, both of which often tell us a lot about what might be going on. If you feel like these limitations are irrelevant to your concerns and would still like to meet virtually, please reach out.
Followup Lactation Visit for Newborns and Beyond
I will always do my best to give you as many tools for success as I can during a consult, and sometimes only one visit is needed. That being said, there are times when resolving breastfeeding challenges can take more than one visit to a lactation consultant, as it often involves multiple steps to help both you and your baby unlearn old patterns and adjust to new ones. Each session builds on the last, allowing us to revise the plan and make progress together toward your breastfeeding goals.
$175 for 1 hour appointment
Flange Fitting & Pump Consult
Are you having trouble getting the results you want from your breast pump? Are you having pain while pumping? Armed with a full set of flange sizes and inserts, I can help get you fitted for the correct size (which can change throughout the course of pregnancy/breastfeeding!), and figure out how to get your pump to do its best work for you.
$125 for 45 minute appointment (in person only)
Weight Check
When paying out of pocket, it may be most advantageous to schedule a weight check with your pediatrician, but I am always available to offer a weighted feed for you in the comfort of your own home, giving you peace of mind knowing how much milk your little one is taking during a feeding.
$125 for 45 minute appointment (in person only)
Special Focus Consults
Well-Suited to Telehealth
If you are seeking a deeper dive exclusively on one of these topics, a Special Focus Consult might be a good fit for you. These consults will generally not include a physical/oral exam or a weighted feed.
Prenatal & Induced Lactation Education & Planning
Personalized visit to review your health history related to breastfeeding/chestfeeding, to answer all your questions, to review infant feeding basics like:
- positioning and latch
- how to know if baby is getting enough milk
- engorgement, breast & nipple care
- pumping & hand expression
- bottle feeding
- diet & medications
- building your milk supply
- and more!
If you are seeking to induce lactation or adopting, I can lay out your options and we can craft a plan that works best for you based on your goals and the unique realities of your every day life.
Back to Work/School or Exclusive Pumping Planning
Returning to work or school after having a baby requires intentional planning to keep up a strong breastfeeding/chestfeeding relationship. We can review what is needed to maintain your milk supply, tease out any concerns you have, and come up with a personalized pump schedule.
Starting Solids
Introducing solids can be a really fun milestone! It can also feel like uncharted territory trying to figure out how to juggle solids with nursing, and make sure that your baby’s nutritional needs are being met. We can discuss options that work best with your lifestyle and goals.
Weaning
Weaning is an under-discussed part of the lactation journey for many parents and can happen at any stage of your lactating journey. People choose or are forced to wean for many different reasons and it can bring about a whole spectrum of feelings and concerns. Learn about different methods and strategies for approaching weaning and what to expect based on your child’s age.
