I lead a breastfeeding support group in Greenpoint/ Williamsburg and am available for prenatal  breast feeding class in your home . Learn more here

An initial visit lasts about 2 hours. During that time, I may:

• Review your medical intake form

• Address your breastfeeding issues and concerns

• Perform a physical or visual exam of the mother’s breasts

• Perform an oral exam of the baby

• Observe the baby nursing and possibly bottle-feeding

• Weigh the baby before and after a feed to assess intake

• Develop a care plan based on work together. This may include follow up email plan with links, videos and referrals to specialists as needed.

• Provide you with a receipt to submit for insurance reimbursement. 

· Please fill out the medical intake and release form on the website here.  And send it back to me. If you have any questions or concerns give me a call. The website portal is HIPPA compliant

· It’s helpful if the baby is ready to eat around the time of visit. (I understand that this doesn’t always work out ) I will check in with you by phone in the morning to confirm the appointment and when the baby most recently ate.

· If you would like me to review pumping its helpful to have  the pump available and parts cleaned according to instructions.

· It can be helpful to jot down or record questions as they come to you.

· I love animals but if you think they might be a distraction during the appointment it might be helpful to put them in another room.
