cOMPREHENSIVE LACTATION SERVICES



Multiple services will be included in your lactation visits. If baby has trouble latching, we will incorporate TummyTime! Method into your care plan and instruction will be provided. If you are full and engorged, Therapeutic Breast Massage will be incorporated into your care plan.



Prenatal Consultation



One-to-One prenatal prep to prepare for the reality of breastfeeding and what to expect:

expectations while at health care facility, when arriving home, how milk supply works, how to know there is not enough - just enough - too much, feeding patterns, weight gain milestones, set up and review pumping if you have the pump. Any other questions you may have. In-home or Telehealth.



Initial Postpartum Consultation



Your first visit the MotherBorn is considered your Initial Consultation and will cover any topic or service that you need. In most cases I am coming for a check up, or to help get control of a complicated situation. I will have my scale, get a weight check, assess latch if needed, measure a feeding with the scale, help with pumping and bottles when needed. If you are exclusively pumping, the session can be used for all pumping. I allot 90 minutes for the first visit so we cover what we can cover in this time and then follow up as needed. In-Home or Telehealth.



Postpartum Follow Up



Any subsequent visit after your initial consultation is considered a Follow-Up visit and will cover any topic or service that is requested or needed. I will have my scale for weight checks, weighted feeding, we can cover over pumping, bottle feeding, TummyTime! Method. During a Follow-Up visit we will discuss your previous care plan and adjust the plan as needed and necessary. Follow Up visit are schedule according to necessity, some are quick, some are more space out. In-Home or Telehealth



TummyTime! Method



TummyTime! Method (TTM) is an evidenced informed therapeutic program designed to support health, posture, movement, and connection for all babies it can also treat oral motor dysfunction, postural asymmetries, digestive difficulties, and autonomic dysregulation. Dana is TummyTime! Method certified and has been using this therapeutic intervention for over five years. This intervention is used to improve and fix latch complications, digestive issues, and set the baby up for meeting developmental milestones. Tummy time is not only about lifting the head. TTM will be incorporated into lactation consultations or can be scheduled anytime. In-Home or Telehealth



Therapeutic Breast Massage



Learn Therapeutic Breast Massage (TBM) for every stage of lactation. I teach TMB ​during prenatal consultations so you can start expression colostrum for your baby in the hospital (works better than the pump in most cases). This skill can be used for engorgement when the milk comes in, then can be used to prevent clogs or clear clogs or inflammation. I will teach this to you during any consultation. This is a great skill to learn for prevention and so you are prepared in case of an emergency. In-Home or Telehealth.



Infant Massage



Dana is a Certified Educator of Infant Massage through Infant Massage USA. I typically teach this skill to families during consultations as needed and requested.
