No disagreement here! An oral exam should be a part of each and every consultation. Remembering that it is a three part assessment: physical exam and visual assessment, mother & baby symptoms, combined with the ability to function to do the job of breastfeeding!

You can’t just count on weight gain, you can’t just count on milk transfer. It is much more complicated to assess and is why an experienced IBCLC is needed.

If you are experiencing difficulties with breastfeeding:
1. Painful latch
2. Difficulty latching, maintaining the latch
3. Slow or absent weight gain

Please find an experienced IBCLC to help you navigate this difficult territory and guide you through this journey.

Need help? We are here at www.lactationservicesofsouthington for you!

Whether you need in person, telehealth or f/u IBCLC help - we are here for you! Breastfeeding is too important - don’t let difficulties allow your journey to go awry!

HELP! Feeling a little overwhelmed when it comes to knowing which breastpump is best for you?

Did you even know that you are entitled through the Affordable Health Care Act to a free breastpump?

There is a lot to consider when choosing a breastpump and we can help you.

Whether you need a pump because-
*you are a working mom
*you are a stay at home only needing a pump very occasionally
*need a very portable pump
*need a hospital grade pump

We can help you choose the best pump for you. The reasons you are pumping need to be considered when choosing the best pump for your situation.

We can help you choose virtually if desired..........

Don’t go it alone feeling overwhelmed and under informed.

Baby #2! So exciting - and a chance for a better and more prepared breastfeeding journey!

Did you have your first baby without preparing a lot for your breastfeeding journey? - many moms do

Did you feel pressured to supplement in the hospital with formula and then feel like you never got back on track once home?

Did you have trouble latching in the hospital or birthing center and then spend awhile googling every latch video you could find only to pump for awhile and then stop?

Did you have a lot of ni**le pain that caused you to choose to stop breastfeeding sooner than you wanted to or pump instead?

Did your baby have jaundice which caused supplementation and a difficult breastfeeding journey?

Did you have people at home that influenced your first breastfeeding journey negatively?

Do you want to do it differently this time?

YOU CAN! YOU CAN!

We can help you to have a concrete plan for the first few days in the hospital or at home, know what to look for and expect in the first few days, know how to problem solve if something isn’t going right plus provide you with help if you need it!

Prenatal consultation can take place in person or even better in your jammies, sweats at home!

Be prepared - what have you got to lose? Gain confidence, feel prepared and ready to conquer the world.

Did you know that your healthcare is on the line in this election?

Did you know that the Affordable Care Act (i.e Obamacare) is what ensure you are provided a breastpump from your insurance?

Did you know the ACA states that breastfeeding help (lactation care) is to be provided at no cost to breastfeeding/chestfeeding persons?

Did you know that the ACA states you can not be denied health care with pre-existing conditions?

Who-ever you choose to vote for - make a plan, know where and how you will vote and get out there and let YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!

Everyone wants a happy and healthy baby -right? Did you know that breastfeeding releases oxytocin in mom and baby’s brain? It helps stabilize mom’s mood and provides a feeling of calm and less anxiety?

Thinking about breastfeeding?

You’re in good company- most mamas say they want to breastfeed which is certainly good news!

What will make the difference between being successful and maybe struggling?

Being informed makes all the difference. Scheduling a prenatal consultation can help you to gather info, understand the changes that your body will undergo, how you will make milk, how your baby can help you, how to know if things are going well, how to know if baby is getting enough, how to overcome problems IF they occur. All this and more is what occurs at a prenatal consultation.

Best of all- a prenatal consultation can take place in person or even via telehealth. We can also help you to find an IBCLC near you if needed once baby comes.

We want you to be successful and for you to LOVE breastfeeding!
