Book a lactation visit

Where would you like to be seen?

Pick what feels easiest for your family. Most families need 2 to 3 visits. You can be seen on Mondays or Tuesdays, and we can book other days on request.

Does insurance cover this? It might.

Visits with Jessica can be claimed under Nursing if your plan lists lactation support. You pay at your visit, then submit your receipt to your insurer for reimbursement. Not sure what your plan says? Check with your insurer before you book.

For babies newborn to 6 months. Going back to work with a baby 6 to 12 months old? Book a video visit with Jessica for a return-to-work feeding and pumping plan.

What we help with

What is feeding like right now?

You may have more than one of these going on, and that’s okay. You are not failing, and feeling overwhelmed makes sense. A feed that hurts often means something needs adjusting, and finding that out together is what a first visit is for.

Painful feeds and a shallow latch

Painful latch
Shallow latch or clicking sounds
Pulling away or crying at the breast
Cracked or very sore nipples
Pain through the whole feed

Worried about your milk

Worry about low supply or oversupply
Slow weight gain
Feeds lasting 45 minutes or more
Baby still seems hungry after feeds
Engorgement or blocked ducts

Going back to work, pumping and bottles

A pumping schedule that fits your work day
Low supply while pumping
Thinking about moving to bottle feeding only
Bottle refusal and flange fitting
Breast milk, formula or a mix: you decide, and we support it

Questions about a tongue tie

Told your baby has one, or wondering if they do?
Support before and after a release, if you choose one
We’ll help you think it through with your care providers
Your family decides, and we support you

Fussy feeds, gas and reflux

Spitting up during or after feeds
Gas and tummy discomfort
Back arching at the breast or bottle
Gulping on a fast flow

Feeding and your baby’s body go together Lactation care looks at the feed. Craniosacral therapy looks at body tension that may be making feeding harder. Many of our families do both, and your consultant will tell you after the first visit whether it makes sense for your baby. See infant craniosacral therapy

If you have a fever, flu-like symptoms or a red, hot area on your breast, call your doctor or go to urgent care right away.
