Preparing For Your Visit
Feeding timing:
In order to observe and assist with a feeding, we need a baby that is interested in eating. Feeding 1-2 hours before the appointment typically allows for us to work with a baby that is hungry but not ravenous. If baby is really looking to eat right before the appointment, by all means feed them! We can always work around these things or reschedule.
What to bring:
We have medical grade wipeable nursing pillows in our office as well as disposable covers but if you are not comfortable using these and would like to bring your own from home, feel free to do so. You will also need to bring a dry diaper, two thin 2 receiving blankets, and any equipment you may be using such as nipple shield or a supplemental nursing system. If you are combo feeding or doing any supplementation, please bring a supplement ready to go. If you have a breast pump please bring it along, as well. Make sure you have washed and sanitized the kit (never wash the tubing).
If you have been keeping a feeding or pumping log, please have it available for us to review together along with all of your infant's weights and the age/dates they were taken, and any times/amounts you have been pumping. Write down any questions you may have so that we can address them during our time together. It’s easy to forget these things!
If you have older children, please arrange childcare for them. Due to COVID we are limiting consults, at this time, to the nursing parent, baby (or babies), and one support person. We will wear masks in all clinical areas and request that you mask as well as per state mandates. If you forget your mask or do not have one, we will provide a sterile surgical mask for you to use upon entering the building. Learn more about our Covid Protocols.
Lastly, relax! We are here to help you on your journey, whatever your goals may be.
