Review the health history of the breastfeeding or chest feeding parent and baby.

Examine the anatomy of the lactating parent.

Conduct an oral assessment of the baby.

Conduct a weighed feed: Weigh the baby, feed the baby and then weigh the baby again to determine what the baby was able to transfer from the breast or chest.

Offer guidance on maintaining a proper milk supply.

Discuss your feeding goals.

Examine your pump and set-up a pump schedule if necessary.

Based on the assessment, I will provide you with a personalized care plan. At the end of your initial lactation consult, you'll have a clear understanding of how to achieve your feeding goals.
