After making your appointment, you will receive an email to join our HIPAA-compliant platform. We ask that you fill out your intake forms here before your appointment. You will also receive a link that tells you everything you need to bring to your first visit as well as directions to the office.
When you arrive, you will walk into a welcoming environment and each consultation room is designed to make you feel at home.
The consultation includes:
- Listening to your breastfeeding history and any medical concerns we should know about.
- Weighing your baby.
- Oral assessment of the baby.
- Observation of a feeding and/or a pumping session. This is where we work on latch and positioning techniques or pumping techniques for optimal comfort.
- Weighing the baby after the feeding to determine how much they took at the breast.
- A plan that you and the IBCLC work on together because it has to work for you and the whole family!
- A written report is sent to you, your baby’s healthcare provider as well your healthcare provider. We want everyone to be on the same page.
- Follow-up questions can be asked through our portal. Very convenient!
