What to Expect at Your Consult
[future]
What we do together in a Virtual Lactation Consult
First visits are typically 45-60 minutes to give us time for a thorough history, observing baby feeding (breast, bottle or both), and a plan of care. Included is
- A history and assessment of breastfeeding and/or bottle feeding issues by a certified Lactation Consultant and infant feeding SLP
- An assessment of latch, suck and positioning
- Breast care including mastitis, plugged ducts, blebs, thrush, engorgement, and nipple soreness
- Soothing a fussy baby
- Breastfeeding while returning to work
- Assistance with breast pumps, nipple shields and other lactation devices
- Breastfeeding education and support
- Transition from breast to bottle OR bottle to breast
- A report to send to your care provider(s) if requested
What to have at your consultation:
- YOU and your precious baby
- Any current nursing gadgets
- Any pumps and required pump parts
- Preferred feeding pillows
- Bottles/pacifiers
Here are some helpful tips to maximize your virtual appointment:
- Both users must have adequate internet connection
- Both users must have adequate lighting. Please keep a flashlight/light on hand for mouth assessments
- May need a second set of hands to help with positioning the device for best viewing
- It is beneficial (not necessary) for the family to have two connected devices. I.e. a computer/ipad for discussion and a phone for breast and bottle feeding/latch assessment
While virtual lactation consults are useful for many reasons, there will be times that our CLC must refer mom and/or baby to a local health care provider. These cases may include:
- Suspected tongue and/or lip tie or other oral malformation
- Mastitis, thrush and other breastfeeding concerns requiring treatment
- Inadequate lighting/internet connection to perform a quality online assessment
- Concerns with weight gain, jaundice and/or general well-being of your baby
How much does it cost?
First consult = $50 cash or billable to select insurance. For more information on insurance, call 708-478-1820
