A breastfeeding consultation includes:
Milk intake at the breast is accurately measured by weighing the infant before and after nursing (with clothes) using a precise scale which measures up to half a teaspoon.
After the full assessment and measurement of milk transfer, the lactation consultant will suggest a feeding plan to best fit with mom’s and infant’s needs. The initial consultation may last between 60-90 minutes and should be coordinated with baby’s feeding time.
