Infant Feeding Support
This feeding thing isn’t always as easy as everyone makes it sound.
Whether you’re wanting to talk through your feeding plans long before your baby is born.
OR
Your baby is here and things just aren’t going as planned.
Our Certified Infant Feeding Specialists are ready to help. No matter what method you’re using to feed your newest family member (breastfeeding, exclusive pumping, formula feeding… or a mixture of all the above), we have the knowledge and skills to assist you in improving the current experience.
Infant Feeding Consultation and Planning Session
There are so many questions and options when it comes to feeding a new baby. If you're the type of person who likes to have a good plan in place, an Infant Feeding Consultation in the comfort of your own home would be perfect for you. Schedule a 45 minute Infant Feeding Consultation with our Certified Infant Feeding Specialists to help you map out what your priorities in feeding your baby are. We will sit down with you and talk about your feeding options, what returning to work looks like, the ins and outs of pumping and what to do when issues arise. Because our consultations are specific to you, you'll receive a personal written plan after our visit. This consultation is perfect for laying the foundation of a good feeding plan, no matter what method you end up using to feed your baby. We get how important this is to you!
Feeding Session
Your baby is here and feeding them has become a full time job! But what happens when it’s 11pm on a Friday night and you find that you need some support with latch or proper bottle feeding? You have an Infant Feeding Specialist come to your home for a feeding session. Our specialists have the knowledge and skills to assist you in improving your current feeding situation. A 2 hour feeding session allows our IFS to witness two feeds with your baby, assess where you are needing more support, and to watch how your baby is eating. We are able to help with infant positioning, latch, bottle feeding, pumping, and getting you more comfortable and confident with feeding your new baby. We get how overwhelming this new parent gig can be, especially if the plan isn’t working.
Infant Feeding Services are available in the Salem and Bend areas.
