Home Visits with Breastfeed Atlanta
At an in-home lactation consultation, you can expect to receive personalized, one-on-one support from an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in the comfort of your own home. This can be particularly beneficial for new parents who may be feeling overwhelmed and stressed about caring for their newborn.
During the consultation, the IBCLC will take a thorough history, assess your breastfeeding technique and provide hands-on assistance as needed. They will also weigh your baby before and after feeding to determine how much milk your baby is transferring and assess your milk supply.
In addition to addressing any concerns you may have, your IBCLC will provide you with evidence-based information and guidance to help you meet your breastfeeding goals. They will work with you to develop a customized plan tailored to your unique situation and needs.
After the consultation, your IBCLC will provide ongoing support and encouragement via phone calls, email, or follow-up visits to ensure your continued success in breastfeeding. They will also provide a report of the consultation to your physician and/or midwife.
In-home lactation consultations can be covered by insurance and are a convenient way to receive the support and guidance you need to successfully breastfeed your baby.
