Lactation Consultation
During this 90-minute consultation I will observe a feeding at arrival in order to troubleshoot any concerns.

Depending on your needs, I have the expertise and tools to support you with tandem nursing, bottle feeding, combo-feeding, pumping schedules, clogged ducts/engorgement/discomfort, safe sleeping, and feeling confident in feeding your baby outside of the home.
