Professional Services

• Lactation Consultation: An International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) observes and evaluates a feeding, develops a care plan for mother and baby and sends a report to the primary health care provider. 
• Follow-Up Consultation: Fine-tunes the initial care plan and reinforces feelings of success. 
• Breastfeeding "Check-ups": Moms can take time to talk to an IBCLC to gain confidence in their breastfeeding experience. 
• Back-to-Work Consultation: Mother works with an IBCLC to tailor a plan that fits her individual needs. 
• Prenatal Visit:  Do you have some personal concerns that you don’t want to address in a large prenatal class?  This consult gives you 45 minutes with an IBCLC to address any of your concerns while she gives you the tools to get breastfeeding off to a great start.
• Pump Consultation:  Having trouble with your pump, or do you have a list of questions about pumping?  Make an appointment and get all those questions answered.
• Weaning Consultation:  Whether you’re weaning at one month or one year, it needs to be comfortable for you and good transition for your baby.  Let our IBCLCs help you develop a plan.
• Pre-Adoption Visit:  Adopting a baby and thinking of breastfeeding?  Inducing lactation is possible!
• Weight Checks: Baby's weight and other vital breastfeeding information gathered and faxed to the baby's physician.
