Telehealth Care for Lactation?

Is that even possible?

Yes!

Let me tell you why…

As the mother of two sets of twins who faced numerous challenges with feeding, I always wished I had a lactation consultant who really “got it” - someone who had expertise in lactation but really understood the unique circumstances I faced while breastfeeding my twins.

That wish went unfulfilled, and I was often given suggestions and recommendations clearly best for someone feeding ONE baby. Years later after I became an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant), I became determined to create a personalized, professional resource for multiples-specific clinical lactation care.

Since finding a local IBCLC specializing in multiples is difficult at best, I have focused my career on providing the highest quality and most effective virtual lactation care possible. I have spent years developing systems, screening tools and protocols for any and every challenge feeding multiples might present. This includes:

• Assessing latch, milk transfer and positioning

• Optimizing pumping practices specific to multiples (including flange fitting)

• Identifying oral restrictions such as lip or tongue tie

• Developing feeding plans to move away from “triple feeding” or supplementing with two or more babies

Insurance companies have recognized the many benefits Telehealth lactation care provides, and I am thankful to say the majority of my patients pay nothing (or very little) out-of-pocket for any of their sessions.
