but not sure where to start?
Our lactation specialist - Dr. Jess - will help guide you through your journey.
What to expect during your first visit.
Dr. Jess will have you go through a thorough intake to determine the best steps to help you with your breastfeeding journey. Whether that is not producing enough, babe not latching correctly, pumping schedules, etc. Babe will nurse during your visit so that we are able to do a weighted feed to determine approximately how many oz babe is getting from you. Babe will be getting body work done while you and Dr. Jess chat exercises and techniques to perform at home.
All throughout Dr. Jess’s Chiropractic schooling, she has had a passion for women and children’s health. Through her internships, she specialized in pregnancy and infant care learning from many doctors around the Twin Cities.
She then advanced her knowledge by investing further into her education by taking courses on craniosacral therapy and infant tongue therapy.
Dr. Jess has taken her Lactation Consultant course and can offer lactation advice for breastfeeding/pumping mamas. She's able to do weighted feeds and help with latching difficulties which may require some positioning changes for you, and body work for babe.
