Comprehensive Breastfeeding Program
Breastfeeding may be natural, but many women have commonly-encountered difficulties. Mothers and their newborns must learn from each other; but we can assist and guide you to ensure this learning curve is not unnecessarily painful or prolonged. We understand, too, that there is no “one right way” to nurse your baby.
Additionally, there are different philosophies regarding breastfeeding. We are open and supportive whether parents choose to introduce formula , use a pacifier, or exclusively nurse!
All of our staff, from the front office to the providers, have training or knowledge of breastfeeding; culminating with our own physician assistant and lactation consultant, Allene Troy.
During a breastfeeding consultation, a nursing session will be observed by Allene. She will help evaluate and identify specific issues and provide guidance on how to problem solve. Additionally, babies will be weighed both before and after nursing, reassuring mother’s of their milk production. Reducing this anxiety is one of the keys to successful nursing. Should any concerns arise, please meet with us promptly. Early identification and resolution is crucial to ensuring successful breastfeeding.
* Please note: As lactation consultations are comprehensive and involve an assessment of both mothers and newborns, separate fees may result. We will not allow this financial consideration to add to your burden and we can adjust accordingly. Please let us know!
