What to Expect in Your Initial Consultation?We'll talk to you about your health and medical history, including medications. This is important because some medicines can interfere with breastfeeding. We will also help you determine when it's time to call the lactation consultant. If we think that a problem exists, we will recommend other resources such as your doctor or present you with solutions from our IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant).
During your consultation, we will assess your baby's latch and positioning in order to determine if they are feeding properly and getting enough milk. We'll also take a look at your breasts and nipples to see what kind of damage may have been done during breastfeeding, as well as evaluate the strength of your milk flow. |

Our staff is committed to assisting expectant moms throughout the state of Louisiana in preparing for breastfeeding and seamlessly integrating lactation preparation into their birthing plan.
