Lactation telephone or e-mail consulting
Most problems are best handled in person but some questions can be answered on the phone or through e-mail and I will be happy to do so. If it is more complicated I will tell you. For established patients (those who have had a home session with this baby) there is no charge for follow-up phone calls. For Non-Established Clients the charge for telephone assistance is $15.00 for up to 10 minutes and $1.00 for each minute there after. E-mail assistance will be charged at $10.00 per e-mail. Payment can be made by credit card over the phone. Return to top
Breastfeeding Education
My role is to help parents sort through the information they have been given and that which has been passed on to them. It is essential to sort out the facts from the myths so that parents can make informed decisions for themselves. Return to top
Postpartum Support
I am available to all the families in my practice on an on-going basis to help them with breastfeeding and parenting issues. I am happy to provide book and resource information so that the family can get the information they need to make the decisions that will work best for them. Return to top
Newborn Assessment
While I am not a physician or a nurse, my years of working with babies allows me to assess:
- their color
- their nutritional status
- their hydration
- their neurologic and respiratory status
- their oral anatomy
I weigh most of the babies that I see. Return to top
