Prenatal breastfeeding support and education in your home
Learn more about why “breast is best” as well as valuable techniques of breastfeeding. See what to expect in the first days and weeks after birth, learn how to know your baby is getting enough milk as well as how the choices you make during labour and delivery can affect the breastfeeding relationship after birth.  

Time - Approximately 1 hour.

Postnatal breastfeeding consultation in your home

A visit in your home would include a thorough assessment and evaluation of mother and baby. Assessment would be made of baby’s oral anatomy and the anatomy of mother’s breast. A breastfeeding session would be observed with assistance given and suggestions made on how to latch baby, maintain the latch, and recognize when baby is drinking at the breast. Education around child development and breastfeeding behaviours would also be provided as necessary to help the parents understand their baby more clearly. Information on local areas of support would be shared. More complex breastfeeding situations can also be addressed with evidence based information shared and support given.  

Time - 1-2 Hours

Postnatal breastfeeding consultation in my home

A visit to my home might be more convenient for you. The visit would take the same format as the home visit above. (Warning - I do have children and dogs at home)

Though most breastfeeding challenges and problems can be greatly improved with only one visit, some more challenging problems may require more than one visit. You might want to review techniques and have more questions after our initial visit.  Sometimes new problems develop at a later time in the breastfeeding relationship. If you have concerns about pumping, milk supply issues, breast or nipple discomfort, a fussy/colicky baby, reflux, weaning orany other question, a follow-up visit might be helpful.

Time - Approximately 1 hour or longer as needed
