BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT
Breastfeeding Support
Breastfeeding is one of the most natural and beneficial acts a mother can do for her child. Dramatic health benefits have been proven to pass from mother to child through breast milk. From antibodies which protect an infant at birth to the exclusive nutrients in mother's milk which have been shown to prevent a number of childhood diseases - the benefits are incalculable. There is no other single action by which a mother can so impact the present and future health of her baby.
Nourishing your baby is an intimate matter, but it can be a tricky one to approach alone. Whether it's your first baby or your fourth, Christina can help you achieve the breastfeeding experience you want. In addition to being one of our doulas, she is a Certified Lactation Specialist who provides in-home breastfeeding support to nursing moms in the Triad area. Following a free 15 minute phone consultation, she will visit you in your home and help you to create the bond between you and your child that you will both remember for the rest of your lives.
A home visit includes up to 90 minutes of breastfeeding support and costs $75. If more support is desired subsequently, a flat hourly rate of $55 applies.
Additionally, online consultations are available via Skype. The rate for an online consultation is $25 for 30 minutes.
