Lactation Consultation
Our team of highly skilled IBCLC’s provide in home and in office lactation consultation from the prenatal period all the way through your lactation journey. We provide support for all infant feeding issues including bottle feeding and weight gain issues.
We provide home visits for postpartum families within 2 weeks following the birth of your baby. Appointments are typically 60-90 minutes.
If you need a home visit outside this time frame, please contact our office. Continued follow up visits will be held at our offices at Wildflower Postpartum Center in Portland or Wildflower Lactation Astoria.
Appointments include:
A comprehensive medical history, examination and assessment of you breasts, nipples, latch, your baby, oral structures/sucking mechanics, weight/weighted feed, observation of a feeding, positioning adjustments, latching techniques. At each visit, we provide breastfeeding supplies and devices to improve feeding during our visit at no cost to you. A care plan detailing our assessments, recommendations and referrals will be emailed to you after your visit.
Health insurance companies are required to cover lactation care and breastfeeding supplies including pumps.
