Within 25 miles of Albany, NY*
What you can expect: assistance with any breast/chestfeeding needs in the comfort of your own home. I will observe a feeding session and assist with any latch or comfort concerns and address any positioning solutions that may assist you in your journey. If necessary, we can do a weighted feed to see how milk transfer is looking. We will outline any concerns you may have and work together to determine the best feeding plan for you and your family. By the end of the session we will have a plan to assure you're on track for success in your breast/chestfeeding journey. Initial consultations are typically 90-120 minutes. Follow-up appointments are typically 60-90 minutes.
Virtual visits
Many lactation concerns and education can be completed through secure video conferencing. Message me to see if your visit can be accommodated virtually. Virtual consults are hosted either via Doxy.me or Google meet and are available in 15 minute increments up to 2 hours.
Office visits
Office visits are hosted at The KindNest located at 1 Rosell Drive, Ballston Lake, NY 12019 on Wednesdays.
Phone visits
Not all lactation concerns require hands or eyes on assistance - many questions or concerns can be addressed over the phone.
Email and Text Support
Have a few questions or going through a difficult transition in your breast/chestfeeding journey and want to bounce some thoughts/questions/concerns/ideas off of me? We can arrange a package that best suites your needs for support and follow-up in the format that best works for you.
Breastpump Support and Flange Fittings
Not sure which pump to get? Or how the one you got works? Or if your pump parts/flanges are the right fit for your anatomy? Do you need to be measured for the correct flange size? Want to assure your pump is still working correctly? What about the silicone manual pumps or hands free bras? Have you found yourself exclusively pumping and need help managing it all? Headed back to work and want a plan for pumping at the office? Anything pump related I can help with. These appointments are typically best in person but in some cases can be navigated virtually.
Special Topics in Breast/Chestfeeding
If it's breast/chestfeeding related, I can help you with it or find the appropriate resource to refer you to. Available to assist with special topics in breastfeeding such as nursing on the go in a baby carrier, nursing through pregnancy, how to navigate tandem/triandem feeding, solutions for making nursing work for you in the workplace and beyond, traveling and breastfeeding and so much more. Use the "Contact" section here to arrange the support you need.
Corporate Consults
Is your business in need of policies and procedures related to accommodating the folks on your staff currently in need of lactation space and support? I offer business consults to help your organization develop appropriate policies and procedures as they relate to the lactation needs of your employees and can advise on design and development of lactation spaces. I am also available to be retained as a resource for your employees if you are looking to provide direct lactation support to your staff in any phase of their lactating journey. I understand the balance of business need and support needed for lactating parents and can help you to understand and support the business case for breastfeeding in the workplace.
