Expert Support for Your First Days at Home

Initial visits are best scheduled within the first 2-5 days after discharge for the best start.

The transition from hospital to home is a sacred, often overwhelming time. My goal is to provide a "soft landing" for your family by bringing expert, clinical care directly to your living room. Whether you are navigating the early days with a full-term newborn or bridging the gap after a NICU stay, I am here to ensure you and your baby are thriving.

During this comprehensive 90–120 minute visit, we don't just "check the latch"—we look at the big picture of your health and your baby’s development. Drawing on 16 years of Level 3 & 4 NICU experience, I provide specialized assessments that go beyond standard care, helping you find a rhythm that feels sustainable and joyful.

What Your Visit Includes:

• Infant Weight Check: Using a medical-grade scale, we’ll evaluate your baby’s weight and discuss normal patterns of weight loss in the early days followed by steady gain. Weighted feeds are possible, though they may not be indicated. I’ll teach you how to analyze your baby’s intake without a scale for after our session.

• Comprehensive Clinical Assessment: A gentle infant oral exam to check function and anatomy (including ties), alongside a maternal breast health check.

• NICU-to-Home Specialized Care: Expert guidance for preemies or babies with medical complexities. I partner with your pediatrician to ensure your feeding plan is safe and supportive of their growth.

• Hands-On Coaching: Real-time help with positioning and latch techniques tailored to your body and your baby's unique needs.

• Personalized Care Plan: You’ll receive a written, step-by-step roadmap to follow, and I will send a report to your pediatrician to ensure a cohesive circle of care.

Don't navigate the "fourth trimester" alone. Let's get you off to the best start possible.
