What happens during an in-home Lactation Consult?

In the comfort of your home, we arrive at a mutually agreed upon time to ensure your baby is ready to breastfeed.

We then take a detailed history & gather pertinent information related to your breastfeeding journey.

Before baby breastfeeds, we perform a pre-feed weight and a then a post-feed weight at the end of the feed to determine how much milk your baby drinks from the breast.

We observe & assess the entire feed and offer a variety of suggestions and recommendations.

Consult notes will be provided to you at the end of the consult.

An initial lactation consult is typically 1-1.5 hours in length

Nourish Lactation services are often reimbursed by your insurance provider

Nourish Lactation Consults can be billed as a health spending expense
