Whether you just want to be sure your baby is transferring milk from breast to belly or you have serious issues to work through, we will get you back on track!

Cara Banks, IBCLC, will come to your home for a private, custom-tailored lactation consult. Every breastfeeding journey is so unique, which is why every in-home visit looks different.

Generally, a consult takes about 90 minutes to 2 hours and you can expect that we will:

• discuss the main reasons you need a lactation consultation

• discuss the details of your pregnancy, birth and early breastfeeding

• assess your baby’s latch and positioning

• observe a feeding and talk about signs of good milk transfer

• assess your breasts/nipple health, if needed

• address any issues or concerns

• provide education/information surrounding your concerns

• evaluate any pumps or other tools you’re using

• create a plan that works for you, your baby, and your family

• provide relevant written materials for your review and reference

• develop a customized plan that works for your unique situation

• provide goal checkpoints and follow-up plan

• help with insurance reimbursement, if needed
