Breastfeeding Services

A crucial component to successful breastfeeding is preparation and support! It has been shown that women who seek breastfeeding support during the prenatal period are more likely to reach out for support postpartum. I am a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) through The Academy of Lactation Policy and Practice. One of my favorite parts of supporting my clients on their birth journey is preparing them for the first breastfeeding latch after birth! 

Lactation support is included within my birth doula services through six weeks postpartum. From preparation before labor, to the initial latch after birth, and during the first few weeks postpartum, I assist my doula clients with all of their breastfeeding needs.

For non-doula clients, and clients beyond six weeks postpartum, I am available for lactation counseling sessions at your home or birth place, including prenatal preparation and assistance with pumping and returning to work.

My rates for breastfeeding services are as follows:

• initial postpartum consultation: $65, up to 2 hours
• follow-up consultation: $35, 1 hour
• private prenatal breastfeeding class: $50, 1 hour
• private postpartum pumping class: $50, 1 hour
