Prepare before baby arrives
Prenatal lactation consultations in Seattle and online.
A prenatal lactation consultation offers time to prepare, ask questions, and build a practical feeding plan with an IBCLC.
What you can discuss
The 60-minute consultation can cover early-week feeding preparation, milk supply basics and expectations, pumping and bottle-feeding education, and a feeding plan that reflects your family's goals.
Who a prenatal visit can support
Prepare for the first days and weeks with practical guidance shaped around your goals, history, and feeding plans.
- First-time feeding preparation
- Previous breastfeeding or feeding challenges
- Pumping, bottles, or combination-feeding planning
- Questions about newborn feeding and partner support
What your consultation may include
Your consultation is shaped around your questions, history, and feeding plans. It may include:
- A review of your goals, medical history, and previous experiences
- Newborn feeding cues, latch, positioning, and signs baby is getting enough
- Hand expression, colostrum, pump setup, or flange sizing when relevant
- A personalized plan, practical resources, and follow-up before a scheduled postpartum visit
