If you need help breastfeeding your baby, schedule an Initial Consultation.

bottle refusal, please schedule a Bottle Skills Consultation. This visit

does not include an assessment of milk supply or breastfeeding

The visits run from 60-90 minutes, depending on the visit type. In that time, we can address

1 or 2 concerns or issues. Follow-up appointments are very helpful to continue care and

support.

You, your baby, and one supportive Adult are welcome in my office. There is no space for

more people. Please see if you can secure childcare for an older child so that you can focus

on our time together.
