While we always strive to resolve all of your breastfeeding issues during the initial lactation consultation, sometimes ongoing assessment and support are a necessary part of a successful outcome.

This session typically is 1 to 1.5 hours in length and can take place virtually, in-office or in-home (parkland residents) depending on your specific concerns.

In this appointment we will:

Re-assess and manage any lingering issues that have not resolved since the first consult.

Take pre/post feed weights.

Observe a full feed/pumping session to assess improvement.

Adjust latch/positioning if needed.

Update the Care Plan.

**This appointment is for established clients. If a new issue has popped up, we may need to schedule another full consultation. A follow up is specifically related to an issue that has previously been assessed.
