Private Lactation Consultations for New Mothers
A Mother's Haven offers Private Lactation Consultations to new mothers needing breastfeeding support and lactation assistance. In a Private Consultation, the Lactation Consultant will give you focused and individualized attention and help you make sure you are using the proper breastfeeding technique to achieve efficient stimulation and removal of your milk.
Consultations are provided by Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC). Consultations include in-depth history, physical assessment and cover the range of problems and challenges that can arise. Phone, in-store, and in-home consultations are available by appointment.
What to Expect During a Consultation
During a private lactation consultation, you’ll receive tailored breastfeeding guidance focused on your unique situation. We’ll review latch technique, positioning, and your baby’s feeding cues. If you’re facing breastfeeding challenges like pain or disruption, we’ll troubleshoot together.
We can also assess concerns about low milk supply, offer comfort strategies, and help you align this consultation with any breastfeeding classes or infant Mommy and Me classes you’ve attended. Whether you want to integrate insights from newborn care class routines or revisit tips from prepared childbirth classes, our goal is to support your whole breastfeeding journey.
You'll leave feeling more confident, informed, and connected to your baby. We also offer help with feeding twins, bottle refusal, nipple confusion, and other common hurdles that so many breastfeeding mothers face.
Why Choose a Private Lactation Consultation?
Private lactation consultations deliver dedicated, one-on-one lactation support without the distractions of group settings. Unlike workshops or online lactation consultant services, this offers time to address your specific concerns and get personalized feedback.
We work closely with breastfeeding mothers and nursing parents to resolve common breastfeeding concerns, build routines around feeding frequency, and troubleshoot pumping or milk supply issues with breast pump rental systems if needed. You’ll benefit from hands-on help and real-time coaching, no guesswork involved. It’s ideal for parents who want focused help, emotional reassurance, and a clear action plan tailored to your baby and body.
These private lactation consultants also provide ongoing support if issues pop up later. Many clients return after growth spurts or sleep changes for added peace of mind.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What kinds of issues can a lactation consultant help with?
Lactation consultants assist with issues like poor latch, nipple discomfort, low output, oversupply, pumping problems, and even creating a feeding schedule. They also support positioning for multiples, nursing after C-section, and returning to work. If you're dealing with any feeding concern, this service is designed to help.
Are these consultations available online?
Yes. We offer both in-person and virtual sessions through online lactation consultant services. Virtual calls are just as effective, thanks to clear video setup and guided observation. You’ll get the same personalized attention and feedback, all from the comfort of your own home.
How long does a consultation last?
Consultations typically last around 60 minutes, which allows us sufficient time to discuss your history, demonstrate techniques, observe your feeding attempts, and develop a personalized plan. If follow-up is needed, we can schedule a shorter check-in session at no extra charge.
How do I schedule a private consultation?
Scheduling is easy online or by phone. Simply purchase the “Lactation Consultation” under services, and then call or email us with your scheduling availability. We’ll connect you with a consultant and contact you to confirm a scheduled time.
Do I need to bring any special items?
You don’t need much, just yourself, your baby, and a feeding pillow if it interests you. Feel free to bring your pump, bottles, or special clothes you normally use. Having feeding tools on hand helps us troubleshoot anything that comes up.
What if I have twins or multiples?
Absolutely. For twins or multiple babies, we adapt recommendations to address tandem feeding, supply balancing, and positioning for two babies. Having multiples can come with unique challenges, and we’re here to help create a plan that supports your entire family.
