VISITS

Many parents are referred to me by pediatricians, obstetricians, midwives, doulas or other health care providers. Others may have heard of me from other new parents. Whether coming to me through these sources or a search of your own, my goal is to provide clear and understandable evidence-based information with compassion, balancing physical and emotional considerations for each new family I am honored to work with. I also enjoy a good partnership with a number of practitioners whom I can refer to for a comprehensive experience for my clients who need assistance beyond lactation.

My practice is primarily focused on providing private, home visits within San Francisco and the Bay Area Peninsula*. As an option, I do have some office hours I can offer.

First-time Visit (1.5 – 2 hours) includes:

  • Review of maternal and infant health history, birth and breastfeeding experience to date
  • Physical assessment including mother’s breasts and baby’s oral and structural anatomy
  • Weight check for baby, including pre- and post-feeding weights
  • Observation, assessment and hands-on assistance while feeding
  • A personalized and detailed breastfeeding care plan
  • A report to the mother’s physician and/or baby’s pediatrician, in some cases
  • Two weeks of follow-up care via text, email and/or phone

    • Follow-up Visits (45 min – 1 hour) may be necessary/desired. These include:

  • Assessment of progress
  • Weight check for baby, including pre- and post-feeding weights
  • Re-evaluation and updating of care plan
  • A report to the mother’s physician and/or baby’s pediatrician, in some cases
  • Two weeks of follow-up care via text, email and/or phone

    • *Other bay area locations considered – additional travel/time fees may apply.
