FAQs
1What services do you offer?
We offer breastfeeding and chest-feeding consultations, personalized lactation plans, postpartum support, and feeding education — from your first prenatal question through weaning. No matter where you are in your journey, we're here to meet you there.
2When should I seek lactation support?
Earlier is almost always better than waiting if not. Common reasons families reach out include pain during feeding, a shallow or difficult latch, worries about milk supply — too little or too much — slow weight gain, improvement, or mastitis, as well as getting ready to introduce a bottle, start solids, or return to work. You don't need a referral or a "big enough" problem. If something doesn't feel right, that's reason enough to ask.
3Who is postpartum lactation support best for?
Postpartum lactation support is for anyone navigating feeding after birth — whether you're working through a specific challenge like pain, a tricky latch, or supply concerns, or simply wanting steady, experienced support as you settle into this new stage. It's especially valuable for first-time parents who want confidence instead of guesswork, and for anyone who's had a difficult feeding experience with a previous baby and wants this time to go differently. You don't need to be in crisis to reach out — planning ahead for support is just as valid as troubleshooting a problem.
4What does prenatal support include?
Prenatal visits are about getting you ready before your baby arrives — specific to your body and your goals, not just general theory. We'll talk through what to expect with feeding, look at any factors that could affect breastfeeding (like flat or inverted nipples, or a history of breast surgery), and build a realistic plan so the first days home feel less overwhelming. It's also your first step into continuous care — by the time your baby is here, I already know your history, and your feeding plan is ready to evolve with you.
5How soon after birth can I see you?
If we've connected prenatally through a Foundations or Fourth Trimester package, priority booking means I can typically see you within 3–4 days of birth — right around when you're settling in at home, which is exactly when feeding questions tend to surface. If we haven't met yet, reach out as soon as you're ready and I'll get you scheduled as quickly as I can.
6What makes you different?
I run my practice differently on purpose. Most lactation care is built around single visits — I built mine around relationships, with a planned course of follow-up in every package. Every family gets continuity, not goodbye.
