Frequently asked questions

What should I expect for an in-home visit?

Plan a feeding for your baby during our visit. Think of questions and your top concerns to share. Have an idea of what a day in the life of feeding your baby looks like. If you have questions about any supplies you are using (pumps, nipple shields, etc.) have those things on hand. Do not, I repeat DO NOT clean or do any other special prep for me to come over. I am not a guest, I am here to help. You do not have to even get out of bed.

Can you check my baby’s weight?

Absolutely! I will bring a highly accurate baby scale to our appointment and we can check baby’s weight before and after a feeding. This can help us assess milk transfer.

Do you have an office i can come to?

Yes! I also work at Tongue To Toes in Bellevue with a wonderful provider who also does both scissor and laser frenotomies, craniosacral therapy, infant massage and therapeutic ultrasound for breast/chest.

But I LOVE doing home visits. It’s very helpful for me to work with you in your everyday surroundings. I bring a baby scale, feeding pillow and any other supplies we might need. Unrushed care and no trips with baby in the car is a win-win! Virtual visits are another great way to connect with support if in-person isn’t an option for you, especially if you have lots of questions or want prenatal lactation support.

Can you travel to cities other than what you have listed?

It’s possible! I frequently see people that live farther away from where I live and if I have the time in my schedule I will do my best to accommodate you. If you are outside of my area of travel, I can refer you to another wonderful provider in your area.

What if one of us is sick and needs to cancel?

Please call or text me ASAP so that we can reschedule if you are sick. If I am unwell, I will do the same. Please try to give at least 24-hour notice for any kind of cancellation so that I can open my schedule to help other families.

Why do I see different terms for breastfeeding on your site, like chest feeding or body feeding?

Great question! Using inclusive language helps everyone feel seen. We can use whatever terminology for making milk works best for you. Just let me know!
