Support
A range of consults are available throughout your breastfeeding career. We can meet in the first few days, months, or when you're going back to work, starting solids, or weaning.

Video Consultations
Many breastfeeding concerns can be addressed with a ‘face to face’ web-based visit. Skype is a web-based communication tool that utilizes your home computer’s camera. For more information visit www.skype.com. Google chat, FaceTime and other video options are supported as well.
In most cases video visits do not replace an in-home visit but it is a great solution for smaller budgets, time constraints or geographical limitations. Referral to a home visit lactation consultant in your area will be included if needed.

In-home Consultations
Breastfeeding support in the comfort of your home makes things easier for you and allows your consultant to see the whole picture. Visits generally take 1 - 2 hours to review your individual infant feeding experience.
Afterward you'll receive a detailed Plan of Care, appropriate infant feeding supplies and a list of local resources, many of which you can receive discounts through.
All in-person visits will include a baby weight check with a calibrated baby scale, and if needed full collaboration with your health care team.
No Question is Too Small for a Call:
- Painful nipples — it should not hurt
- Baby’s not gaining enough weight
- Milk supply worries
- Painful breasts, lumps or bumps
- Fussy, gassy baby
- Premature baby
- Breastfeeding isn’t for you — time for formula?
- Breast or bottle refusal
- Pumping and returning to work
- Nursing more than one baby
- Starting solids

Phone Consultations
Many questions can be answered with a simple phone call. Most in-home consultations include complimentary phone support, but for long distance situations a phone call may be a family’s only option. If a phone assessment determines that you need to be seen by a consultant, we will be happy to help you locate a professional near you.

Prenatal Consultations
It's strongly recommended to schedule a visit while you're pregnant. We will go over the basics and address any of your last minute concerns or questions. For first time parents this is a great addition to your breastfeeding class and a perfect way to meet your consultant before your baby is here. For second time moms who experienced trouble nursing your first baby this is a wonderful option.
