What can I expect during a home visit?

The last thing many new parents want to do is leave home with their new baby. So, our consult will take place in the comfort of your home. You do not need to shower or change out of your pajamas or clean house for me. I would much rather you get a nap in! During our time together, we will start by discussing your feeding goals. Then, I will complete a physical assessment of your baby and oral exam. I will weigh the baby before and after breastfeeding to see how much is being transferred from the breast. We will discuss different feeding options, and decide on a care plan that best fits your families needs. I will follow up our visit by emailing a care plan specific to your needs/goals, along with any resources that you have requested, and send a report to your pediatrician regarding our visit. Initial consults last around 90 minutes, and come with 2 weeks of free call/text/email support.

Can you really help me through virtual consult?

Yes! I use google meet for my virtual consults, and it meets all the privacy requirements for healthcare and is HIPPA compliant. We start by discussing your infant feeding goals. Next, we will complete the physical assessment together (don’t worry, I’ll guide you). When ready we will complete a feeding together. Phones work great to be able to see the different angles of the feeding. We will discuss different options for a care plan that best fits your families needs. I will follow up our visit by emailing a care plan specific to your needs/goals, email any resources that you have requested, and send a report to your pediatrician regarding our visit. Initial consults last between 60-90 minutes, and come with 2 weeks of free call/text/email support.

My baby is in the NICU, can you still help me?

Yes! I was a NICU nurse before I started my private practice. I understand the ins/outs of NICU life, and I am happy to help you through your NICU journey. During your NICU stay we can discuss milk management and breastfeeding progression in preterm infants.
