Initial Consultation Visit
The standard duration for visits is 90 minutes. During the initial consultation, we will delve into you and your baby's health history, discuss your feeding objectives, and address any concerns or inquiries you may have. We will carefully observe and evaluate a nursing, pumping, and/or bottle-feeding session based on your preferences, conduct a weighted feeding, and perform an oral assessment for your baby. Collaboratively, we will develop a personalized plan that suits your needs. This comprehensive visit encompasses a tailored care plan, a report for your healthcare provider(s), and offers accessibility through telephone, text, and/or email for follow-up questions for a period of 2 weeks post-consultation.
Follow-up Visit
A subsequent consultation typically lasts for 1–1.5 hours. Throughout this session, we will conduct a reassessment of feeding and oral function, carry out a weight check, and make any required modifications to your personalized care plan. This follow-up visit also encompasses an additional 2 weeks of support through text, call, and email.
