Follow up visits/ Weight check
If your case requires a follow-up appointment or weight check, the fee is $65*. Follow-up visits are usually shorter in length and will include a weight check and report for your health care provider upon request. During this visit, we will evaluate how your care plan is working and address any lingering problems or issues. I will continue follow-up care with you as long as you desire.

I can send a printed certificate to the mother or you, and/or send an email to her or you... your choice!
Breastfeeding Classes

Prepare for the birth of your baby with a comprehensive class.

Breastfeeding Basics Class
This class will cover the basics of breastfeeding, how to get breastfeeding off to a good start, returning to work or school, common problems you may encounter and nutrition for the breastfeeding mother. We will also cover normal newborn behavior and what to expect in the early days after birth. Fathers, partners, grandparents and other support people are welcome!
Second Time Around Class
If your first breastfeeding experience didn't go as well as you had hoped, this class is perfect for helping you figure out what went wrong, and how to get things right the next time. The first half of this class will cover the basics of breastfeeding. The second half will be tailored to your individual questions and concerns. We will discuss the problems you encountered with your previous breastfeeding experience(s) and offer information and support to help your “second time around” be successful.
Other classes can be tailored to your needs upon request.
