breastfeeding support

Helping San Diego breastfeeding families get off to the right start is our speciality.  Whether you are looking for prenatal breastfeeding education or have been faced with a breastfeeding challenge, we are here to help. Most PPO plans as well as Tricare, and UCSD Managed Care cover these visits with little to no cost to your family!

Prenatal Planning and Support: 

The best way to treat breastfeeding issues is to prevent them! This 60 minute prenatal consultation is designed to educate and prepare your family for breastfeeding. The appointment is customized to your specific needs and concerns. Prenatal consults include a health history evaluation to identify any potential breastfeeding roadblocks so we can make a care plan to over come these obstacles successfully.  

    • discuss your personal goals and preferences

    • review your health history and how that may impact breastfeeding

    • get fitted for your pump and review how/when to use it!

    • build trust with an IBCLC that can visit you when baby arrives

In-home Postpartum Visit:

We believe every parent deserves a follow-up on arriving home with their newborn. Whether it’s to answer questions about latch, provide reassurance or advice about your newborn’s weight gain, or to help with pain, we are here to ease the stress of those early days.

Many families need breastfeeding assistance within 3-5 days postpartum. If you have a planned induction or cesarean date, you can book a postpartum consultation in advance for peace of mind that a Certified Lactation Consultant will be there to answer any questions you may have when your little one comes home. Booking in advance gives you the best start towards a beautiful breastfeeding journey.   

  • Ideally we have met prenatally to provide guidance and are a familiar face. Either way, text anytime 24/7 at (619) 567-8146 to let us know your baby is here and we will schedule to see you soon!

    The initial 90 minute consultation includes a full feeding assessment, weight check with a pediatric scale, and written individual plan of care created specifically for you. At times, more than one consultation will be needed, but many issues are resolved in as little as one to two visits.

  • Breastfeeding consultations offered in-home throughout San Diego by an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant.  These sessions are designed to help you resolve breastfeeding issues that you may be experiencing including, but not limited to:

    • Pain

    • Milk supply issues

    • Latch and positioning assistance

    • Infant weight gain concerns

    • Feeding multiples

    • Feeding post breast surgery of any kind

    • Breastfeeding preemies
