Prenatal Consultation
$175
At Love Lactation, LLC, I am dedicated to supporting families throughout their feeding journey—from pregnancy through the postpartum period. I believe every parent deserves evidence-based education, personalized guidance, and compassionate support to help them feel confident and prepared for their baby's arrival.
A prenatal lactation consultation is an opportunity to discuss your goals, address concerns, and create a plan that supports a positive feeding experience from the very beginning. Whether you are a first-time parent, have experienced feeding challenges in the past, are expecting multiples, or have medical concerns that may impact feeding, a prenatal visit can help you feel informed and empowered.
During your consultation, we may discuss:
• What to expect during the first hours, days, and weeks after birth
• Early feeding cues and normal newborn feeding behaviors
• Breastfeeding positioning and latch basics
• Strategies to support milk production and milk transfer
• Developing a personalized feeding plan based on your goals and circumstances
• Preparing for common feeding challenges and when to seek support
• Communicating your feeding preferences with your healthcare team
• Breast pump selection, flange fitting, and pumping education tailored to your needs
• Returning to work or creating a pumping plan, if applicable
• Resources and support available after your baby arrives
My goal is to help you enter parenthood feeling prepared, confident, and supported. By establishing a feeding plan before delivery, many families find they are better equipped to navigate the early days with greater confidence and less stress.
Virtual consultations are also available for families who prefer remote support or live outside my service area.
In Home Lactation Visit
$250
With over 14 years of experience as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I provide personalized, evidence-based lactation support designed to help you meet your feeding goals with confidence. Whether you are experiencing latch difficulties, concerns about milk supply, pain with feeding, bottle feeding challenges, pumping questions, or simply want reassurance that feeding is going well, I am here to support you every step of the way.
During your initial consultation, I will complete a thorough assessment to identify feeding challenges, evaluate what is working well, and develop a plan tailored to your family's needs.
Your visit may include:
• Discussion of your feeding goals, concerns, and health history
• Comprehensive maternal and infant assessment
• Oral function and full-body infant assessment
• Observation and evaluation of a feeding session
• Weighted feeding assessment (pre- and post-feed weights when appropriate)
• Assessment of milk transfer and feeding effectiveness

• Pumping and flange fit assessment, if needed
• Identification of factors contributing to feeding challenges
• Development of an individualized feeding plan
• Evidence-based education, resources, and ongoing support
As an in-home lactation consultant, I bring expert care directly to you, allowing feeding to be assessed in the comfort of your own home and within your family's daily routine. My goal is to help you feel empowered, supported, and confident as you navigate your feeding journey.
Virtual consultations are also available for families who prefer remote support or live outside my service area.
Returning to Work virtual
$150
Returning to work can be one of the most challenging transitions for breastfeeding families. Whether you are returning after a few weeks or several months, having a personalized plan in place can help you maintain your feeding goals while balancing the demands of work and family life.
At Love Lactation, LLC, I provide individualized return-to-work consultations designed to help you feel confident, prepared, and supported throughout this transition. Together, we will create a realistic plan tailored to your schedule, workplace environment, and feeding goals.
During your consultation, we may discuss:
• When to begin pumping and building a milk supply for your return to work
• Creating a pumping schedule that works with your job and baby's needs
• How much milk your baby may need while you are apart
• Milk storage guidelines and safe handling of expressed milk
• Bottle-feeding strategies and paced bottle feeding
• Selecting the right breast pump and supplies for your situation
• Flange fitting and pump optimization for comfort and efficiency
• Maintaining milk supply while separated from your baby
• Navigating common return-to-work challenges and troubleshooting concerns
• Understanding workplace accommodations and breastfeeding protections under federal and state laws
• Communicating your pumping needs with your employer
My goal is to help you develop a practical, sustainable plan that supports both your career and your feeding goals. With preparation and the right support, many families successfully continue breastfeeding long after returning to work.
Virtual consultations are available and can be conveniently scheduled around your workday.
