Just yourself, your list of questions, and your baby!

Yes! You can have an educational session and ask our provider any questions you may haveto get you prepared for your feeding journey. Preparing to breastfeed before baby is born is one of the best things you can do to guarantee your success with breastfeeding. We can help you come up with your postpartum "game plan" to get feeding off to a good start, discuss ways to prepare your home for success breastfeeding and tips/tricks to realistically prepare you and your partner for the demands of breastfeeding.

In many cases, yes. Each baby has different oral anatomy, and each experience of breastfeeding can be different. We recommend at least one “refresher session” with our Virtual Lactation Support clinicians, even for baby number 2, 3, or 4+—and then as needed should issues arise.

If you'd like for the provider to observe a feeding, try to hold off until your session. However, if having a hungry, fussing baby will take away from your ability to maximize our time together, then consider feeding baby beforehand to decrease your own stress and increase your ability to enjoy our session.

No stress! We can make a lot of assessments and gather a lot of information just from you describing how feeding is going. In the world of lactation flexibility is key and we're quite used to babies not being on our schedule.

Absolutely! Weaning is an essential part of breastfeeding and knowing how to wean in the safest and healthiest way for you and baby is necessary to complete your feeding journey in a positive way.

Yes, we can assess the possibility of a tie based on the information you share with us and hopefully some good camera work (!) to take a look in baby's mouth. Tongue ties should never be assessed on looks alone and a proper assessment of a tongue tie will involve some detailed history taking to piece together all the pieces of the puzzle.
