What to bring to your Lactation Consultation:
Please bring the following to each lactation/feeding support visit:
Breastfeeding parent and baby!
Both your and your baby’s hospital Discharge paperwork.
A clean breast pump and all pump parts, if pumping is a part of your routine, so that we can check its fit.
Expressed breast milk and/or formula, and preferred device for feeding baby, if you are using either of these to supplement.
Nipple shields, if you use them. Please bring all sizes you have, as sometimes mothers are given/using the wrong size.
Plan ahead to feed your baby 30 minutes after scheduled appointment time. For instance, if appointment is at 10:00 am, baby should be ready to eat about 10:30 am. We know this is not always easy, but do your best!
Milk-filled breasts: Please do not breastfeed or pump immediately before visit. Last pump should be 2-2.5 hours before the appointment. We want to observe a feeding under normal conditions, and need to assess milk supply and milk intake.
