Do not wait until the baby comes! Book online - patients must be in Colorado.

Prepare yourself!! (And your partner is welcome too.)

When?

32-36 weeks is the best time to schedule a prenatal consult.

Where?

Telehealth. Your insurance company might offer a video class and count it toward your lactation benefits. Better to meet with a physician and talk about YOU.

What?

Dr. Stephanie will ask questions about your medical history, fertility, and pregnancy - this helps identify risk factors for a difficult lactation experience. You'll learn what to expect in the hospital. (The jargon! So many medical terms!) Dr. Stephanie tries not to make this overwhelming: you'll learn her 3 mantras for getting breastfeeding started.

Why?

The benefits of undergoing prenatal lactation consults include:

Easier breastfeeding
Higher chance of breastfeeding success
Improvements in mom/baby bonding
Less anxiety about breastfeeding
Peace of mind
Healthy milk supply
Options for using donor milk if necessary
