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
