During in-home consults:

During in-home consults, I perform the same observations and evaluations as in office! I bring the  equipment such as a scale and products to you. What makes in-home consults unique is that I can assist you and your family in your home environment.

Please remember to:

• Have your baby ready to feed, but not super hungry. If needed, just feed enough to hold them over.
• Make a list of all of your questions so you can get the most out of your consultation.
• If you have questions about the breast pump, bottles or any other gear you are using or have chosen, try to have them available.
• We have no problem with pets!  However, if you have a pet who is particularly loud or overly friendly when people come over, you may want to plan to have that pet in a different part of the house for our visit.  Also please be aware that some pets may be very territorial over "their" baby when strangers arrive. If a pet seems anxious or upset by the presence of a stranger, please remove the pet from the consult area.
• Older siblings are always welcome to be playing nearby during a consult!  
• Don't worry about cleaning your house or changing what you are currently doing!
• Your support system is welcomed to stay if that’s what you want!
• Tell me if something doesn't feel right, both physically and emotionally. I'm your shoulder to lean on- supporter and I'm devoted to helping you make your feeding goals!

"Andrea was so warm and welcoming, I knew that I found the right place. The meeting was educational and thorough which made me feel confident in the journey ahead. I specifically enjoyed the hands on nature with exercises and practicing. She discussed many different scenarios, but leaned in to the positive reassuring me that I was made to do this!! I left the meeting feeling like the superwoman I am!"

"I was extremely nervous due to having a poor experience early on in my postpartum with a different lactation consultant, but Andrea soothed all my worries right away. Andrea is positively wonderful, she made me feel welcome and comfortable within seconds. She’s extremely knowledgeable and gave me several tips to overcome my son’s bottle preference/boob fussiness. By the end of our appointment, I felt more confident in my breastfeeding journey, and that I will be able to overcome my sons poor latch and fussiness."

"Andrea did a home visit and was great. She had so much useful information and a plan of care that will be “easy” to follow. Granted, I’m a little less stressed with this being my second time trying to breastfeed but she’s a great lactation consultant. Looking forward to seeing the progress"
