What to Expect on Your First Visit
During our first visit together, we spend time going over your intake form and what the biggest challenges have been, what you would like to work on, and your overall goal(s) for feeding your baby. Your IBCLC will observe a feeding at the breast or bottle, we will do a weighted feed (so your anxious mama brain knows how much baby received at the breast), and your IBCLC will do a full oral assessment on baby. We will discuss everything that was observed and go over any pictures taken during the oral assessment. We will discuss what the next steps for your and baby will be and we will answer any questions you may have. After our visit, you will receive a customized care plan within 24 hours.
