Private Prenatal Lactation
Consultation
Your journey is about to begin—let’s get you off to a confident start.
A private prenatal session delivers a more personal experience to lactation and infant feeding support. Mom-to-be is provided a one on one intimate support session that is not found in a hospital or birthing center atmosphere. Our goal is to provide you with the support and comfort you need during your lactation journey. Blyssful Rivers offers one-hour consultation in-person or virtual. Your prenatal lactation consultation includes a comprehensive review of your medical and prenatal history, including any previous breastfeeding experiences. Time is dedicated to answering all of your questions, addressing any concerns, and creating a personalized plan to help you start your feeding journey with clarity and confidence! Whether you’re a first-time mom or a seasoned parent seeking a new approach, this consultation offers the guidance and reassurance you need. After your session, you will receive a plan to support you as you prepare to nourish your baby.

Initial Postpartum Session
(In-person Only)
You did it—baby is here!
Congratulations! Baby is here and ready to be nourished. Our initial postpartum consultation is designed to provide hands-on lactation training. This visit is personalized to provide the individualized support you need during this transition. Because this is such an important time for you and baby to develop good feeding habits and skills, we at Blyssful Rivers believe this is best done in person to provide you with the tools you need. We will work together to develop a realistic and functional feeding plan that fits your lifestyle and goals. You will receive a written summary of recommendations, and a full report will be sent to your baby’s pediatrician.
Your 90-minute in-person visit includes:
● A full review of your medical and birth history
● Discussion of any previous lactation experience
● A comprehensive breast and oral assessment
● Observation of a full feeding session—whether you’re nursing, pumping, or bottle feeding
● Baby will be weighed at the start of the session, and if directly latching, post-feed weights will be taken to assess milk transfer.
This consultation is ideal for any parent who:
● Is experiencing difficulty latching
● Has sore or painful nipples
● Is concerned about milk supply or baby’s weight
● Simply wants reassurance that things are on track

Follow-Up Postpartum
Consultation
Let’s see how it’s going!
During your 60-minute follow-up session—available in person or virtually—we’ll check in on your progress and continue building on the foundation we set during your initial visit. This consultation includes:
● A review of the goals and recommendations from your previous session
● Latch assessment and observation of a feeding
● Pre- and post-feed weights (if in person) to evaluate milk transfer
● Time to address any new or ongoing concerns
You’ll receive an updated written plan tailored to your current needs, and a full report will be sent to your baby’s pediatrician. Follow-up visits are a great way to adjust your feeding plan, get reassurance, and feel supported as you and your baby grow together.
