Don't tear your hair out, call early for help and support
PHONE COUNSELING Any family going through the Valley Isle Childbirth program is cleared to receive free phone counseling. Phone counseling will answer specific questions about you and your baby's breastfeeding and the safe collection of your milk. However, any situation which is of a clinical nature (weight loss, latch-on, etc.) and might lead to a medical issue will require an in-home or SKYPE session.
IN-HOME BREASTFEEDING COUNSELING Mothers requesting home counseling can set up an appointment by calling the Valley Isle Childbirth office at 572-5237. In-home sessions are available 5 days a week, Monday thru Friday. I will need the time and day of your requested appointment, as well as directions to your home. The counseling session will consist of a thorough history of your baby's breastfeeding since birth, an observed breastfeeding session, shared strategies for problem resolution, handouts, a written care plan to follow and phone or SKYPE follow-up.
FEE: $75 per hour + mileage to and from the home SKYPE BREASTFEEDING COUNSELING SKYPE computer counseling is available 7 days a week. To make an appointment, phone the office at 572-5237 and leave your name, phone number, email and SKYPE account name, as well as the problem you would like to see addressed. Nancy will call you back with a time to be expecting a SKYPE contact. The mother will receive a consultation on the problem area, an observation of the breastfeed, an emailed care plan and phone or SKYPE follow-up. FEE: $50 per session IN-HOME BREASTPUMP ORIENTATION This program helps the new mother know how to use and properly gauge her new or pre-owned Madela breastpump. We will inspect the used pump to make sure it is not contaminated in any way, and safe for both the mother and new baby. Replacement parts are also available, if needed. You will also receive a full counseling session on the safe collection and storage of breastmilk. FEE: $35 per hour + mileage to and from the home Nancy will come to your home the first or second day after you bring your baby home from the hospital and help you get organized for successful breastfeeding.
