Virtual Lactation Consultation
Our virtual lactation consultations offer expert, personalized support from the comfort of home. Whether you’re preparing to breast or chestfeed, working through a transition like pumping or weaning, or navigating feeding challenges that don’t need hands-on support, we’ll help you build a plan that works for you.
Great for
- Prenatal planning
- Building a pumping routine
- Troubleshooting bottle or feeding preferences
- Developing a weaning plan
- Making a plan ahead of time if you have known concerns, like inverted nipples or a history of low supply
Virtual consults are ideal for logistical planning, long-term feeding strategy, and follow-up support once feeding is underway.
What we can cover
- Prenatal planning for breast/chestfeeding: what to expect in the first weeks and how to set realistic expectations
- Known challenges: inverted or flat nipples, a history of low supply, and more
- Inducing lactation or relactation
- Returning to work: building a pumping plan that fits your schedule
- Bottle introduction and bottle refusal
- Weaning: gradual or immediate
- Sustainable feeding routines: finding a rhythm that works for your family
- Pumping schedules and output concerns
Need hands-on help?
Some feeding challenges, like latch pain or concerns that need a hands-on assessment, are best supported in person. If you’re not sure which visit is right for you, we’ll help you figure it out.
