Here are my Policies:
I will do my best to get breastfeeding right for you and your baby.
I will bring respect, love and caring into every interaction.
It's OK to cry during our appointment
Be who you are - I won't judge you, your baby, or the dishes in your sink.
There is no one lonelier than a new mom. I will get you connected with other breastfeeding moms.
Here are my Standards: We make sure your baby is fed.
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.
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 may be needed depending on your particular needs.
For questions about your particular situation, or to schedule your appointment, please text or call Donna at (845) 750-4402.
