Before Your Consultation

• Write down any questions or concerns you'd like to discuss so we can focus on what's most important to you.

• If you'd like help with pumping, have your pump and clean pump parts available.

• Partners and support people are welcome to participate. Consent for their involvement is included in your Consent for Care.

​​

For In-Home Consultations:

• Appointment times are approximate because I travel between families and each consultation is individualized. If you'd like an arrival update, feel free to text me before your visit. I don't text while driving, but I'll respond when it's safe to do so.

• Please have liquid soap and paper towels available so I can wash my hands as needed during your consultation.

• If we'll be working in a bedroom or other private area, please have a chair available for me.

• If possible, have your baby ready to feed about 30 minutes after I arrive so we have time to talk first. If baby becomes hungry sooner, please feed them—there's no need to delay a feeding.

• Please clear a small, stable space for my infant scale. I may weigh your baby in a dry diaper before we begin feeding.

For Virtual Consultations

• You'll receive an access email approximately 15 minutes before your appointment. If you have trouble accessing your consultation, please contact me by text or email.

• You're welcome to send photos or videos before your visit that may help me better understand your concerns.

• If you have a baby scale, we may be able to use it for weights before and after feeding. If you don't have one, that's completely okay.

• For latch difficulties, nipple pain, milk-transfer concerns, supplementation, or possible oral restrictions, I may ask you to send a short video of your baby's mouth before the consultation.
