Breastfeeding & First Feedings

CareLine & Clinic

 

We now offer sliding scale, on-site, 1:1 clinic appointments to address your infant & toddler feeding and weaning questions and concerns.

Some insurance plans will cover the appointment, ask us!

Feeding times can be demanding and rewarding, and build connection between caregiver and child. More than delivering milk and nutrition, feeding offers a time of communication, relationship-building, and co-regulation.

Not sure if you need to be seen? Call our CareLine or click the link below to get support with questions about nursing, bottle feeding, first foods, weaning, and related topics. Together, we can determine if you'd benefit from a clinic appointment with us. There is no charge for this check-in call.

We can help you customize infant feeding plans based on your individual needs and infant/toddler feeding goals. We help navigate issues such as: improving baby’s latch, breastfeeding positions, questions/concerns on infant weight gain or milk transfer, supply issues, nipple or breast pain, clogged ducts or mastitis, combination feeding and supplementation, pumping, back to work plans, introducing solids, night weaning, pregnancy and breastfeeding, tandem feeds, food allergies and breastfeeding, medication use in breastfeeding, or weaning.

We look forward to supporting you in your infant / toddler feeding journey!
