Preparing for your visit

    Thank you for booking an appointment! I look forward to meeting you and your family. 
     Here's what to do to be ready for our visit:

                                                                                                                                      DO
  • Have your baby ready to feed a little after our visit start time so that we can see how much milk your baby is drinking at a feed.  For newborns, I typically recommend ending the last feed about 1 hr prior to our visit.  For older babies, ending the last feed 2 hours before our visit.  Of course, I do realize this can be difficult, just do the best you can!
  • Due to the Covid situation, I ask that all persons in the consult room (except for baby) wear masks.  
  • Leave plenty of time for our visit - they typically last 1.5 hours.  If your baby isn't latching well, they may take a little longer.
  • Have a couch or open seating area for us to sit at.   I need to be able to get around both sides of you to be able to watch baby nurse.
  • Have a list of any questions that you'd like answered.  If you have any online/written record of baby's diaper output/nursing/pumps/feeds, have them handy as well.
                                                                                                                                    DON'T
  • Clean up for me. New parenthood is overwhelming enough!
  • Feel stressed or worried about our visit.  My job is to provide you compassionate care, information and a path forward to help you meet your feeding goals.
