How does a lactation consultation work?

1. Schedule an appointment by emailing me at jenna@swmnlactation.com

2. After you schedule, you will receive an email asking you to complete an intake and consent form that gives me important information for the visit

3. Both home and office visits will last about 1.5-2 hours for an initial visit and 1 hour for a follow up. For home visits, we'll arrive at your home at or near the scheduled time (sometimes a previous visit may run long or we misjudge travel time - we'll try my best to arrive on time!) . We will provide you with a detailed care plan and ongoing support for 2 weeks.

4. A virtual visit will be completed using a secure video platform, information will be sent to your email, simply use the link to log on at the scheduled time. Virtual visits are typically shorter, expect around 1 hour. You will complete the same intake form that we use for all clients and also receive 2 weeks of ongoing support

Services

Initial Lactation Consultation
- For new clients needing help with any lactation related concerns, a comprehensive evaluation of you and baby with detailed care plan
  - In Home - $250

Follow up Consultation
- For existing clients only. Many times follow-up visits are helpful for ongoing evaluation and support. Things can change quickly in the early days of breastfeeding!

Pumping and Flange Fitting Consultation
- A visit for those who are exclusively pumping or want to discuss only pumping at the visit. This includes fitting you for flanges by trying on a variety of sizes to determine which is the best for you (this is by far the most accurate way to flange fit in our experience). We will also discuss your pumping routine, answer questions about your pump or others you're wondering about and discuss any milk supply issues related to pumping.
  - In Home - $200

Prenatal Lactation Consultation
- A visit to discuss your lactation related concerns before baby arrives. Ideal for those with a history of lactation challenges or other medical conditions that may impact lactation. This can also be a personalized breastfeeding education session.

Virtual Lactation Consultations (All types)
- The same type of visits offered as above, but in a virtual format via a secure telehealth platform. Virtual visits are typically shorter (around 1 hour) but can be just as helpful for a wide variety of issues!
  - Initial Visit - $150
  - Follow Up - $100

Weaning Consultation
- This is a visit dedicated to helping you prepare for weaning. The end of your breastfeeding journey can look alot of different ways and we're happy to help you navigate it!
