At your baby's visits
We weigh your baby and watch a feeding. We look at latch, how often your baby eats and how many wet diapers you count. Most questions get answered in the room.
When you need more time
If latch or supply stays hard, we will connect you with a lactation consultant. We also help with pumping and bottles when you go back to work.
Questions about breastfeeding support
How do I know my baby is getting enough?
Weight gain tells us most, so we check it at each early visit. Call us between visits if you are worried.
Can you help if we also use formula?
Yes. Many families use both. We will help you find a plan that works for your baby and for you.
