My peer lactation consults are tailored to suit what you need. Sometimes it’s the usual latch and positioning help. Other times we do weighted feeds and I’ll stay to help identify and address any difficulties you may be having. I can help with general breastfeeding advice, tips, and tricks as well as look for oral ties. Of course, I am not a medical professional and cannot diagnose oral ties but I am very familiar with them as all of my kids have had them. I can tell you if I would suggest further evaluation as well as give tricks for nursing through ties if that is what you choose to do.
The fee for a lactation consult changes depending on your needs. If it will be an hour or less for a general consult, it is $35. For longer visits and weighted feeds I charge $55. Because we don’t know how long baby will nurse that fee will increase by $15 for every hour past three hours.
