Scheduling an appointment with Luna Lactation is a wonderful way to get efficient, loving support as you work towards your breastfeeding goals. Working with families is such a joy and we would be honored to assist yours! To schedule an appointment: Call: 360-830-MILK(6455) Email: support@lunalactation.com For your convenience, our intake forms can be emailed to you so that you can pre-fill them out before your scheduled appointment.
What happens at a consultation? Each initial consultation begins with getting to know each other a bit. We will review your pregnancy/birth, breastfeeding and health history and explore the current issues you are experiencing. Depending on the issue at hand, I may gently examine you and/or your baby. You will be invited to feed your baby during the appointment so we can see what is happening together. We will develop a written care plan with my suggestions to improve whatever problems you may be having. We spend up to two hours together during this initial visit. You are encouraged to ask questions and share concerns. I will give you a referral to another health care provider if it’s needed. A full report and copy of the care plan will be sent to the baby’s and/or your health care providers. Follow up is by phone and email unless another visit is necessary. Follow up visits are shorter and cost less than the initial consultation. You will be given a Lactation Visit Receipt to send in for possible reimbursement from your insurance provider . I strongly encourage all my clients to keep in touch with me until they feel fully confident that their problems are resolved and they are enjoying breastfeeding! What do I bring to my appointment? You and your baby (of course!), your partner or support person if desired, your list of questions and concerns, your already filled-out intake form if ready, any breastfeeding tools, pumps or gadgets you are using or want to use, any supplemental infant food/fortifier if using, a sling or wrap for babywearing if desired, any feeding/diaper diaries you have been keeping track of. |
