What to Expect at a Lactation Consult
Most moms don't know what happens in a lactation consult, so they put it off — often until a small problem becomes a painful one. Here's the honest picture.
First, we talk. Your story, your feeding rhythm, what's been going on. No judgment, no pressure, no one-size-fits-all script.
Then we look at the actual mechanics — a feed, a latch, a pump session, whatever is relevant to what you're experiencing. I watch, I measure, and I find the specific thing that's off.
You leave with a written plan you can actually follow, plus a follow-up check-in. Most consults are 60–90 minutes, and most insurance plans reimburse lactation support.
