Lactation Support

Breastfeeding / Chestfeeding includes so many benefits, science is still discovering some of them. But we were never meant to figure out how to do it alone. Don’t wait to reach out to a lactation consultant ready to help you and your newborn breastfeed! When it comes to breastfeeding / chestfeeding, getting the right lactation support early on, is key. Find help in Ann Arbor and most of Washtenaw and Wayne Counties today.

Lactation Support Options:

1. Home Visit

2. Virtual Consult

3. Prenatal Visit

4. Calculated Weight Feed

5. Breast Pump Consult

6. Supplemental Feeding Systems

7. Return to Work Consult

8. Tailored Care Plans within 24 hours of Consult

Breastfeeding Challenges we can help with include:

  • Nipple/breast pain or infection (clogged ducts, nipple blebs, mastitis)
  • Engorgement/edema of breast
  • Latch issues (discomfort/pain/trauma)
  • Colic, reflux, “gassy” behavior in the newborn
  • Rehabilitation after tethered oral tissues (lip and tongue tie) and revision
  • Regulation of milk supply, building milk supply, re-lactation
  • Transition back to work: pumping, bottle feeding, milk storage/collection
  • Feeding multiples

Madison works with The Lactation Network (TLN) to provide 6 insurance-covered lactation appointments for this essential service!
