When you've just had a baby, there is nothing so comforting as breastfeeding support in your home with an in-home lactation consultation.
Including a week of unlimited breastfeeding support via phone, email and/or text.
A home visit is ideal when:
- You are having difficulty breastfeeding and/or it's painful
- You aren't producing the amount of milk you would like
- You have realized you have no idea what you are doing and have so many questions
- You want to reduce exposure to germs
You may also have one or more of these situations:
- You are constantly wondering if something, you or your baby does, is normal.
- You want to learn about pumping your milk
- You want to get back on track for your breastfeeding goal.
- You are feeling birth trauma, stress, anxiety or depression.
It's normal if you think your problems are not big enough.
You may even think you don't need help. Many moms feel just this way and benefit from the unlimited reassurance and guidance and having all their questions answered.
It's normal if YOU think it's a hopeless cause and that your situation is beyond help.
I have seen hundreds of so-called hopeless cases turn completely around, and have happy endings because the mother received accurate, timely, personalized emotional support, breastfeeding information and parenting guidance.
To succeed at breastfeeding, here's what you need:
- Determination and the desire to breastfeed;
- Support and guidance from an expert and a community
- Patience to keep trying when things don't go as you expected;
- Tissues -- long challenges can be very emotional!
During an initial lactation consultation, we can do any of these:
- Get all the details about the difficulties you are experiencing
- Take a health and breastfeeding history
- Answer your questions
- Observe you and your baby breastfeeding
- Check for nipple, breast, mouth or tongue problems
- Teach about feeding cues and how milk production works
- Coach you and your baby through latch, positioning and other comfort measures
- Teach pumping, hand expression techniques and milk storage guidelines
- Refer you to someone who can better help you with your problem, if need be
- Create a breastfeeding plan that will accommodate your lifestyle, your goals and your baby
Here are my Policies:
1. I will do my best to get breastfeeding right for you and your baby.
2. I will bring respect, love and caring into every interaction.
3. It's OK to cry during our appointment
4. Be who you are - I won't judge you, your baby, or the dishes in your sink.
5. There is no one lonelier than a new mom. I will get you connected with other breastfeeding moms.
I want breastfeeding to work for you, your baby, your lifestyle, your family and your dreams.
Here are my Standards:
We make sure your baby is fed.
My first choice of food is your breast milk, either at your breast, or from your stash. My next choice would be donor milk from a milk bank, or other donor. If that isn't available, we use formula.
-
I fully expect for you to be nursing pain free or almost pain free in 1 visit.*
-
You, your baby, your breastfeeding goals, opinions, culture, lifestyle, and family will be respected when we work together.
-
I have an evidence-based practice. What we do has been studied and shown to work and you don't get stuck with miseducation.
-
You are the expert in your baby, (even if you don't feel like it, yet.) You set the pace and decide if you like something or don't.
-
We keep your baby calm. It is essential to be gentle with your baby and ease into breastfeeding rather than making lots of changes and upsetting your baby.
-
I follow current American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines and track weights, and stools, so we are confident your baby is getting enough milk.
- Your situation, problem, solution, and story are private, except where I, like other health care providers, have legal responsibilities mandated by law.
Followup appointments vary depending on your particular needs. Followup consultations are at a special returning client rate.
For questions about your particular situation, or to schedule your appointment, please text or call Donna at (845) 750-4402.
After you purchase this item, you will receive an email to schedule your appointment. If you don't see it in a minute or two, check your spam, or text Donna.
