Lactation Consults
Breastfeeding may be natural, but it most definitely isn't always easy. Getting out of the house with an infant and trying to time a feeding for an office-visit can be a real challenge! Let us save you the additional stress and come straight to the comfort of your home. An initial lactation consult will typically last 90-120 minutes and includes: oral/suck assessment for baby, breast assessment for Mother, and hands-on assistance with latch/positioning. We will also weigh the baby prior-to and following the nursing session to determine how much milk your baby transfers, collaborate on a personalized feeding plan, and if needed, make any recommendations for follow-up.
Not sure if you need a consult? Check out our Services tab for more info! Every baby and nursing experience is different and there are no silly questions.

PUMP RENTALS & baby-weigh appointments
bREAST PUMPS
Breastfeeding doesn't suck, however many of us still need our breastpumps too! We offer the Medela Symphony hospital-grade breastpump for rent with flexible bi-weekly or monthly options. These pumps can be a lifesaver (and milk-saver) for families experiencing: latch difficulties, an unexpected NICU stay, underlying illnesses and/or health conditions, a need to increase milk production.
Don't have accessories? Don't worry, we can help you with that too!
Baby-weight check appointments
New mothers often say that one of the most difficult things about nursing is not knowing how much your baby is transfering from the breast. We tend to have a “need to see it to believe it” mindset, and that can be a challenge with breastfeeding. Having the ability to weigh and see how much (within 2 grams) your baby transfers during a feeding can give you peace of mind and be an invaluable tool in those early weeks. Options include: initial weight-check, and/or intake weights to see how much milk your baby is able to transfer directly from the breast at a feeding.
lactation classes & education
You can learn a lot on the internet these days (btw-always know the source!), but when it comes to lactation education, there is no substitute for taking a hands-on approach. An IBCLC can answer all of your questions, share experiences and journey with you as you prepare and navigate through breastfeeding. To give you the best experience possible, you can choose between group or private classes. Partners are welcome. Bring any questions you can think of and let us put your mind at ease, while setting realistic expectations.
Class offerings include:
Community prenatal breastfeeding class offered VIRTUALLY on the third Wednesday of every month (check out our Classes & Events here)
Individualized, private prenatal breastfeeding class (available in-home, office, or virtually!)
Need help navigating the transition of returning to work and using a breastpump? A private, in-home Going-back-to-work/Pump class includes: flange-fitting, breastpump demonstration, and a personalized pumping plan based on your specific work schedule and/or needs
