In-Home Consultation
Expert breastfeeding support in the privacy of your own home
While breastfeeding is natural, it involves some learning and plenty of practice. Whether you choose to breastfeed, pump, bottle feed or do a combination, I will nurture you, so you can nurture your baby at any stage.
I understand that you may not want to leave your home in the first couple of weeks for breastfeeding support, especially if you had a rough or medical birth.
I help you get comfortable on your furniture to feed your baby and make adjustments if needed, for the most comfort and best results.
If desired, I also show you how to breastfeed your baby lying down in the comfort of your own bed, so you can rest while meeting your baby's needs.
I also cover safe co-sleeping rules according to the American Academy of Pediatrics Policy Statement and the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine Clinical Protocol, to let you both rest easily.
