Mary's story

"As the days progressed, I started feeling more and more pain. My consultant sat with me for over an hour and watched my latch and talked with me through options to help with my pain. I am very grateful for this service.

Watch Mary's story

I was skeptical at first because I didn’t know how a lactation consultant could help virtually. I’m forever grateful for my consultant and this service.

  1. Choose a quiet, comfortable place where you can breastfeed your baby.
  2. Gather any relevant materials before the session begins, such as a breast pump, nursing pillow, any nipple cream that you're using, etc. You may also want to have a notebook and pen handy to take notes during the session.
  3. Be prepared to share your breastfeeding history, such as how often your baby feeds or any pain or discomfort you may be experiencing.
  4. Be open and honest with your lactation consultant. Don't be afraid to ask questions or share any concerns you may have.
  5. Ask a support person to hold the phone/camera. The use of a camera during your virtual visit can be extremely helpful. Your lactation consultant can observe your baby's latch and positioning best from a very close angle.
  6. Consider in-person visits when the issue is latch-related.
