Breastfeeding Education and Lactation Counseling

Here you'll find information about our Breastfeeding Education Classes, which are much more in-depth than one you would take at a hospital - and our Lactation Counseling services. Remember - it is always a good idea to be prepared and educated when it comes to breastfeeding - and if it hurts - ask for help! Breastfeeding should never hurt!

Breastfeeding Education Classes

Private prenatal classes in the comfort of your home. We take as much or as little time as you need to feel confident, educated and prepared to feed your baby. Topics are presented via slides on your television (if equipped) or my laptop, video presentation, discussion and role play.

Topics Covered:
  • The Hazards of Not Breastfeeding
  • Anatomy and Physiology of Breastfeeding
  • Positioning and Latch
  • Getting Enough
  • Breastfeeding Birth Plan
  • Common Concerns
  • Maternal Nutrition
  • Pumping, Milk Storage, Equipment
  • Back to Work, School
  • Myths
  • Support Systems
  • Breastfeeding Resources
  • Benefits of Babywearing
Fee: $45 payable by check or cash only please. 

Lactation Counseling

Whether you just need a trained eye to tell you that everything is going well or are facing more complex issues like slow weight gain, low milk supply, thrush or overactive letdown - I am available for private consultations in the hospital or in your home. After the appointment takes place I will send a report to your doctor if you would like - in order to keep them informed of any issues and improvements. 

Fee: $50 initial consultation up to 2 hours, $15/hr beyond the 2 hours. 

Follow-up consultations are $35.

Clients who have paid for an initial consultation will have e-mail and telephone support (up to 10 minutes per call, anything over that requires an in-person visit).
