Lactation support provides hands-on help with latch, positioning, milk supply concerns, and pumping questions—all in the comfort of your home. Each visit includes observation of a full feeding, assessment of your baby’s latch and weight, and a personalized plan to address your specific needs. Ongoing support and follow-up adjustments help you navigate feeding challenges as they arise.
