Lactation Consultations with Roxanne

At Feed Your Best You, Roxanne offers compassionate and knowledgeable support to help breastfeeding mothers achieve their feeding goals and overcome any challenges along the way. Here’s what you can expect from our lactation consultation process:

1. Assessment of Breastfeeding

Each consultation begins with a comprehensive assessment of the mother and baby’s breastfeeding experience. Roxanne observes the latch, evaluates the baby’s feeding patterns, and assesses any issues related to milk supply, pain, or discomfort. This step helps pinpoint areas that may benefit from adjustment or additional support.

2. Education and Guidance

Roxanne provides education on essential breastfeeding techniques to empower mothers with the knowledge they need for a positive experience. This includes guidance on proper positioning, effective latching, and recognizing hunger cues, making it easier to feel confident and connected during feeding times.

3. Problem Solving

Breastfeeding can come with challenges, and Roxanne is here to help address specific issues like nipple pain, engorgement, low milk supply, or difficulties with the baby’s latch. By identifying and addressing these concerns, she offers personalized solutions to help you navigate any obstacles.

4. Feeding Plans

Roxanne creates feeding plans that align with your breastfeeding goals, whether that’s exclusive breastfeeding, supplementing, transitioning to bottle feeding, or beginning the weaning process. She also provides guidance on pumping and proper storage of breast milk to support your choices and lifestyle.

5. Emotional Support

Breastfeeding is not just physical—it’s an emotional journey too. Roxanne offers gentle emotional support, understanding that mothers may experience feelings of anxiety, frustration, or self-doubt. Her encouragement helps mothers stay positive and feel reassured during the process.

6. Follow-Up Care

Consistent follow-up consultations allow Roxanne to monitor your progress, address any new concerns, and adjust the feeding plan as necessary. This ongoing support ensures that you feel confident and prepared at each stage of your breastfeeding journey.
