We realize these are trying times. As doulas, newborn care specialists and lactation counselors, we are passionate about supporting families. Due to the need for social distancing, we are trying to continue to offer support that families need from a safe distance. We also know these are hard financial times for many and hoping the lower fees will make support more attainable. We are now offering private virtual breast/chest-feeding classes.
This 1.5-2 hour class is designed for the expectant parent and their partner.
It covers breast/chest anatomy, nipple evaluation, positioning and latch-on, evaluating a feeding, sore nipples, engorgement, nipple confusion and much more. It is designed to empower you and give you multiple resources to use throughout your breast/chest-feeding journey.
This 1 hour class is designed for those parents who will be going back to work while breast/chest-feeding. There is a half hour question and answer session following the class.
“How am I going to keep up breast/chest-feeding and work?” This is a question working parents face every day and it seems overwhelming. This class describes how to successfully combine working and breast/chest-feeding. Includes how to select a pump and milk storage. You will leave empowered and with solid resources.
Listen to birth story, review health history of you/baby, and any concerns. Observe complete feed, instruction/demo on latching, positioning, and hand expression. Informative handouts provided. Care Plan provided and sent to pediatrician. Follow up phone calls, emails and texts provided for two weeks after your appointment.
