What to expect during a consultation
A typical consultation will include a brief health history and discussion about your baby's delivery and feeding thus far. We can weigh your baby on my hospital grade scale before you breastfeed, then weigh the baby after the feeding to gauge intake. We’ll do a deep dive into whatever issues you’re experiencing. Sometimes a pumping session is necessary. I'll give you a realistic plan of care, taking into consideration the nuances of your baby, your needs and goals, and your family's well-being. Instructions for follow-up are provided. Initial visits are usually 1.5 hours.
About me: I'm a Los Angeles native; I live in Westchester with my kids and dogs; University of Arizona grad; previously worked in fashion, music, and finance. Favorite things: my kids, my dogs, my job, my city, being outdoors, books, travel, concerts, and volunteering at the local little league ballfield.
