How do you prepare for breastfeeding so that you and your baby get off to a great start? Plan ahead!

 

Typically, breastfeeding works well and things go smoothly. Knowing what to expect and having the tools ready should you and your baby need a little extra help can make the early weeks much easier. With your breastfeeding goals as our guide, we'll create a plan that nurtures a positive breastfeeding relationship for you and your baby.

​

As a Certified Lactation Specialist with hundreds of hours of support experience, I work with families just starting out or well on the road of their breastfeeding journeys.

​

This package includes:

• One prenatal meeting to plan and learn—we'll cover positioning, signs of a good latch, how to be sure your baby is getting enough and what to expect in the early weeks

• Support tips for partners

• One postpartum visit during the first week to answer questions, assess feeding and troubleshoot common concerns

• Phone and email support for the first 3 weeks with your new baby

​

*BONUS: My doula clients get this breastfeeding support package built-in to their birth support plan!

​

Want a little more 1-on-1 support time? Already had your baby and looking for breastfeeding help and guidance? Additional visits are available for $100.

​

Travel fee: a $25 travel fee per visit applies for home visits 25+ miles from Petaluma.
