Service Description

Our lactation counselors/consultants support breastfeeding individuals at any time during the breastfeeding/lactation journey, but most frequently in the early days and weeks following the baby’s birth. Our role is to support new parents and babies in optimizing the feeding experience. All Family Ways lactation counselor/consultants have completed training and have experience lactation/breastfeeding counselors. We draw on professional training, knowledge, and experience to understand the medical history of you and your baby, provide a physical assessment of your breasts and an assessment of how your baby breastfeeds (including, by lactation consultants only, an examination of his/her mouth and tongue), provide instruction the use of breastfeeding aids and equipment, and offer helpful hints and other educational information to help you breastfeed and/or express breast milk. We offer multiple avenues for breastfeeding/lactation support. Our team includes both International Board-Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) and Certified Lactation Counselors (CLCs). Please be sure to specify at the time of booking which of our team members you wish to work with.
