A home visit is scheduled in the comfort and privacy of your own home. These can be scheduled any time in the postpartum period, whether shortly after birthing and until you are prepared to wean. A full medical history will be taken for both you and your baby. We will discuss your feeding goals, both short and long term. I will conduct a full functional oral assessment of your baby, evaluating tongue function, suckling, and latch at the breast. I bring an infant scale for weight checks and pre and post weight feeds that allow us to determine how much milk your baby can transfer from your breast. Other topics can include proper breast pump fit and usage, how to introduce a bottle, when to start solids, creating a return to work plan, and how to safely wean. A personalized care plan is developed and you have access to me for text and phone support.

     Telehealth visits are often covered by insurance plans and can offer flexibility. These work well for prenatal consultations, bottle refusal, breast pump questions, starting solids, and returning to work discussions.
