Prenatal Breastfeeding Class

A prenatal lactation class helps you start breastfeeding with confidence and avoid common challenges before they happen. Prepare for a confident start to your feeding journey.

This one-on-one session during pregnancy provides personalized guidance on what to expect in the early days of breastfeeding. We’ll cover latch, milk supply, newborn feeding patterns, and how to prevent common challenges.

You’ll leave with a clear plan, practical skills, and the confidence to begin feeding your baby with support.

Why does it matter?

Instead of waiting until there’s:

• Pain

• Latch issues

• Low milk supply

This class will help prevent problems before they start.

Pumping & Milk Supply Class

Feel confident using your breast pump before you need it.

This class is designed to help you understand how pumping works, how to protect your milk supply, and how to create a feeding plan that fits your lifestyle.

We’ll cover everything from flange sizing and pump settings to building a milk stash and preparing for return to work.

Perfect for expectant parents and those planning to pump, combo feed, or return to work.

The tele-health Lactation Consult is ideal for those who want to have access to lactation services for an affordable price. In addition, it is a great option if you live in a place without access to an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. Or, you are in bed rest and need to get assistance from an expert in breastfeeding management in a timely manner.

Our Lactation Consultant can provide help on several issues, such as pumping questions, medicine or procedure reference, latching, breast pain due to feeding issues, questions about milk supply, and weaning. She also provides online breastfeeding Classes.

The Postpartum Lactation Consult consists of a detailed history of the dyad with a holistic and individualized assessment of mother and baby, covering breastfeeding, nutritional, emotional, and structural evaluation, and a pre/post weight feeding assessment. In addition, an individualized holistic plan of care with handouts and referrals (as needed) is provided. Lastly, a report of the consult is sent to your health care provider(s).

It is held at the comfort of your home, office, hospital, or by Tele Health Lactation Consult.

The Lactation Follow-up is the continuity of care and is necessary for evaluating the dyad's progress. It is done in person or via tele-health, 1-3 days after the consult, for a week related to the same problems. Coaching and clear progress reports help you recover quicker and with confidence.

Struggling with pain, poor latch, or concerns about your baby’s feeding?

This specialized consultation focuses on identifying and managing feeding challenges related to oral restrictions such as tongue tie or lip tie.

During this visit, we assess your baby’s oral function, feeding patterns, and milk transfer, and provide a personalized plan to improve feeding. If needed, we coordinate care with trusted providers for further evaluation or treatment.

You’ll leave with clear guidance, hands-on support, and a plan tailored to you and your baby.

Need help with pumping, milk supply, or balancing breastfeeding and bottle feeding?

This personalized consultation is designed to help you confidently use your breast pump, protect your milk supply, and create a feeding routine that works for your life.

We’ll review your pump, flange fit, schedule, and feeding goals, and develop a plan tailored to your needs—whether you’re returning to work, exclusively pumping, or combining breast and bottle feeding.

You’ll leave with a clear, realistic plan and the confidence to feed your baby in a way that works for you.

The World Health Organization emphasizes that to meet the evolving nutritional requirements, infants should receive adequate and safe complementary foods while breastfeeding continues up to two years of age or beyond. (WHO, 1992/2002)

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that "Breastfeeding should be continued for at least the first year of life and beyond for as long as mutually desired by mother and child. Increased duration of breastfeeding confers significant health and developmental benefits for the child and the mother. There is no upper limit to the duration of breastfeeding and no evidence of psychological or developmental harm from breastfeeding into the third year of life or longer." (AAP 2005)
