Pumping Consultation

This is a standalone service

Many parents exclusively or occasionally pump in order to provide their baby with human milk. Pumping can be a lot of work, but there are many things that can be done to make it an efficient process. Pumping techniques and properly sized parts are crucial to maintaining your milk supply! This standalone service includes follow up by text or email for two weeks after our visit about your care plan. If it is has been more than two weeks since our visit, a follow up consultation may be recommended.

We will discuss techniques to maximize your milk supply, fit you for flange/breast shield, and troubleshoot issues you’re experiencing.

Self pay: $100 (45-60 minutes)

Pumping consultations are offered as a virtual or in office service only.
