A lactation consultation is a beautiful opportunity to honor and nurture the precious connection between you and your baby. We gently witness this special dance of feeding, offering warm guidance to help you find the perfect, comfortable position for both of you. It's all about creating ease, helping your little one find a deep, happy latch, and encouraging that wonderful, nourishing flow of milk.
We may even use a special scale to weigh your baby before and after feeding—not as a test, but as a lovely, reassuring way to see exactly how much of your amazing milk your baby is receiving.
This supportive visit is a safe, loving space to address any point of imbalance or worry. We can gently work through so many concerns, whether it’s nourishing your milk supply, soothing breast pain or sore nipples, or helping a baby who’s having trouble latching. We'll find comfortable positions, understand why your little one might be fussy, sleepy, or refusing to feed, and navigate the pathways of pumping, engorgement, clogged ducts, mastitis, or bottle-feeding. We also gently explore how things like infant oral restrictions might be affecting this flow. Every challenge is simply a request for balance, and we'll find that new harmony together.
As an integrative lactation consultant, I love to share special wisdom with you. I can teach you gentle, loving infant acupressure techniques—simple, ancient touches you can use to soothe your baby's gassy tummy, ease the discomfort of a little cold, and deepen your bond!
And for you, the amazing nurturing parent, we have even more tools to draw upon. Gentle acupuncture and nourishing herbal medicine can be the perfect complements to holistically support your milk supply, clear blockages like clogged ducts, and restore your own vital energy. It's all about wrapping your family in complete, loving support so you can meet your infant feeding goals with joy and confidence.
