LACTATION/NEWBORN FEEDING COUNSELING
Visit up to 3 hours
Usually a stand alone lactation intensive with follow up contact via video or phone calls, texts and/or email. It covers the basics of lactation. We will give you the tools to assess each and every feeding so that you have the confidence to not only assess but to troubleshoot and resolve challenges on your own. If need be, follow up contact will occur. If after follow up, there remains unresolved issues, we would then schedule another in person or video session.
