Lactation & infant feeding is dynamic and complex. To ensure your clinic time is used effectively, here are a few strategies to help your visit run smoothly.
 

Arrive

A few minutes early. Please ensure all previsit questionnaires are completed.

Dress

You and your baby are in comfortable clothing with easy access for feeding.

Bring baby

Neither very full nor very hungry. Arrange the earlier feedings so your child will likely be hungry after you arrive. If our office runs behind, which happens sometimes as babies are unpredictable, feed just enough to keep everyone comfortable.

Milk

If you are having difficulty making all the milk your baby needs, please bring whatever you use to feed your baby. If you are a primary pumping parent with challenges related to pumping, please bring your pump. However, pump adjustments will only be completed as time allows. A follow-up appointment may be required.

Leave

Please leave strollers at home and arrange childcare for your other children. This will help us focus on you and your new baby.

Resources

Consider visiting here to review a few evidence-based resources that may be useful to some (but not all) families as they navigate the world of feeding help. Our team looks forward to working with you to determine the best resources for you and your family.
