What to expect for your in home lactation support visit:
Thank you in advance for the opportunity to work together!
Here is a quick checklist to help you get ready for our visit:
I will wash my hands as often as necessary during the consultation. Please have liquid soap (dish soap is fine) and paper towels available in your kitchen and/or bathroom.
If we are working in your bedroom, please have a chair available for me to sit on.
It is helpful if your baby is ready to eat about 30 minutes after I arrive, so we have time to talk. But if your baby does get hungry, feel free to give a small feeding. And don’t stress if the timing doesn’t work out, I can work with whatever is going on.
Please clear a space on a table or the floor for my scale. I don’t need much room, but the surface does need to be stable. I will weigh your baby with just a dry diaper on before we work on feeding. I will need a clean swaddle blanket to put on my scale.
I am animal lover, but because pets can be unpredictable after a new baby arrives, especially towards strangers, please have any dogs in another room when I arrive.
Please ensure any weapons in the home are secured for the duration of the visit.
I look forward to working with you.
Best,
