Lactation is physiologic. Our mammary glands function to produce milk and nourish our young.
Breast Milk is your baby's FIRST immunization.
It contains:
- Live Immunoglobulins that coat the lining of their immature intestines, preventing germs and allergens from leaking through to make your baby sick.
- Antioxidants and Enzymes
- Prebiotics and Probiotics to aid in digestive function
Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed! - Luke 11:27
- So why do I hear it hurts?
- My grandma says I need to "rough up" my nipples before baby comes, is this necessary?
- Everyone is telling me pacifiers will ruin nursing, should I throw them all out?
- My friend says I should bottle feed so my partner can bond with the baby too.
You are given a lot of information when you are expecting a child. A prenatal consult is the time to ask all the breastfeeding related questions that you have. I take a thorough maternal health history as this is very important to establish realistic expectations for your body's ability to lactate. I then give you the tools you need to help build a foundation of basic knowledge that will set you up for success before your baby arrives.
This Package Includes:
A single 1-1.5 hour session (virtual or in-person).
Recommended after 30 weeks gestation but ideally before 37 weeks.
(Earlier if you are expecting twins or multiples)
Thorough maternal health history assessment (i.e. medications, surgeries, chronic conditions, etc.) that are pertinent to your body's ability to lactate.
Basic education on how milk is made and what makes it keep coming.
Exclusive handouts with evidence-based information to help you focus on ecouraging milk supply in the first hours after birth.
Exclusive access to a one-of-a-kind breastfeeding support app called HelpMeFeed.
Access to one of the largest digital breastfeeding libraries in the word.
Partner recommendations to stay involved without bottle feeding.
Answers to all your questions to help you feel confident in your body and its natural ability to provide nutrition for your baby.
