Pajarito Lactation

We look at both mother and baby: 

• Infant movement and symmetry, and how the baby comes to the breast,

• Infant latch and positioning when feeding, 

• Infant oral structure, 

• A pre- and post- feed weight (can give us information about milk transfer), 

• Maternal breast assessment 

• And we discuss your birth/s and past breastfeeding experiences!

• If pumping, please bring your pump and kit, 

• If your baby is taking a bottle, please bring a bottle and milk  so we can see how baby's feeding may differ between breast and bottle. 

• We will discuss what I am seeing and what that information conveys to me about the situation. We will discuss possible approaches to addressing the issue, working together to find a path forward for you and your baby.

I will send you an email summary of our visit. 

We may schedule a follow-up lactation visit. 

We will keep in touch until you feel feeding is going well. 

You can reach out through email to schedule a visit.  

An initial visit usually takes 1-1/2 to 2 hours, depending on the issue(s). If possible, we try to schedule a time so I can observe a feeding. Because babies and feeding times can vary, we do our best!

I will send forms by email. Please fill them out and return them 24 hours prior to our visit.
