A lactation consultant is a healthcare professional who specializes in supporting parents with breastfeeding and other aspects of infant feeding. At Green Living & Wellness, I offer a range of services to help you navigate the feeding journey with your baby, including breastfeeding support, guidance on formula feeding, and advice on introducing solids. Whether you need help with latch issues, milk supply, or just want to ensure you’re on the right track, I’m here to provide personalized support.

You might consider reaching out to a lactation consultant if you’re experiencing challenges with breastfeeding, such as difficulty with latching, pain during nursing, concerns about milk supply, or if your baby isn’t gaining weight as expected. It’s also a good idea to consult if you’re planning to return to work and want to discuss pumping and maintaining milk supply. Even if everything is going smoothly, I can provide reassurance and tips to help you continue on a positive feeding journey.

Before your session, it can be helpful to write down any questions or concerns you have about breastfeeding or infant feeding. You may also want to bring any breastfeeding supplies, such as a breast pump, that you are currently using. For infant feeding therapy sessions, you may be asked to bring in any bottles or feeding equipment you are currently using with your baby.

Absolutely! As an infant feeding specialist, my support extends beyond breastfeeding. I can help you choose the right formula, guide you on how to prepare and store it safely, and address any concerns you may have. When it’s time to introduce solids, I offer classes and one-on-one consultations to ensure a smooth transition. My goal is to support you in feeding your baby in the way that works best for your family.

I wish! Unfortunately in Ohio, lactation services are not covered by Medicaid or any of the managed care plans. I do offer 50% off all lactation services with proof of coverage.

Virtual consultations are a convenient way to receive expert support from the comfort of your home. During a virtual session, we’ll connect via a secure video platform where we can discuss your concerns, observe feeding sessions, and work through any challenges you’re facing. Before the consultation, I’ll provide instructions on how to prepare, such as having your baby ready to feed and gathering any equipment you use. These sessions are just as effective as in-person visits, offering personalized advice and strategies tailored to your needs.

Some common breastfeeding challenges include latch difficulties, sore nipples, low milk supply, engorgement, and issues like mastitis. I can help by assessing the situation, providing hands-on guidance, and recommending techniques or tools to improve feeding. For example, we might work on positioning, using breast pumps, or creating a feeding plan that supports both you and your baby’s needs.

After our consultation, I’ll provide you with detailed notes, action steps, and resources tailored to your situation. This might include video tutorials, handouts, or recommendations for products that could help. I also offer follow-up sessions if needed, and you’re always welcome to reach out with questions as you continue your feeding journey.
