You're interested in stopping lactation/nursing/pumping and looking for a plan. This is the meeting for you!

Different pumps and flanges are going to feel different and you may find something more comfortable that yields more milk! You'll never know until you try. And if you haven't already mastered it, come learn hand expression skills. We have flanges here to try, for a full flange fitting experience! This does NOT include an evaluation of baby's latch nor an oral assessment of baby and if you have low milk supply, schedule an Initial Consult or package of visits.

Whether you are feeding human milk or formula to your baby, sometimes there are struggles with bottlefeeding. Babies may refuse the bottle, may gag while drinking, may leak while drinking...all of these are things I can help with. I'll do an assessment of your baby's suck, suckle and oral anatomy, observe a feeding and give you strategies to help you and your baby have a more peaceful feeding without tears!

A prenatal class for those who do NOT plan on breastfeeding, chestfeeding, nursing or pumping but plan to only bottlefeed with formula (or donor milk). We'll go over updated recommendations on bottles, positions for bottlefeeding, flow rates, bottle preparation and more! We'll also cover how to reduce/prevent engorgement and reduce any milk supply, as milk often "comes in" during that first week and parents who don't plan on nursing/pumping need to stop that production.
