What happens during an in home follow-up Lactation Consult?

In the comfort of your home, we will arrive at a mutually agreed upon time to ensure your baby is ready to breastfeed.

Firstly, we take a detailed history & gather pertinent information related to your breastfeeding journey.

Before your baby breastfeeds, we perform a pre-feed weight and a then a post-feed weight at the end of the feed with a Medela Babyweigh scale which is a highly accurate scale that calculates how much milk your baby drinks from the breast.

We observe & assess the entire feed and will offer a variety of suggestions and recommendations.

All consult notes will be documented and provided to you at the end of the consult.

Follow-up lactation consults are typically 45 minutes-1 hour

If you have an employer paid health plan, often a portion or sometimes the entire consult is reimbursed.
