I tailor this consult to cover your specific questions, concerns and needs. We will talk about your breastfeeding goals, whether you will need to return to work, if you have any medical issues that may cause problems with breastfeeding. We’ll come up with strategies and a plan to help you get things off to a great start! Support, accurate information, and encouragement sets breastfeeding up for success. This consult is a prefect first step! Consult is about 1.5 to 2 hrs. Dad’s play a very important role in breastfeeding success and is highly encouraged to attend as well!
