Milk supply and weight gain
I am not sure I am making enough
Worry about supply is the most common reason moms stop before they want to. Most of the time there is a cause, and a plan.

Measure instead of guessing
Julie brings an infant scale. Weighing your baby before and after a feed shows how much milk actually transferred, which tells you far more than how your breasts feel or how long a feed lasts.
From there she looks for the why: a shallow latch, a tongue tie, a sleepy baby, a rough start after birth, or a supply that needs rebuilding.
A plan for the week, not a lecture
You leave with a written, personal care plan: when to feed, whether and how to pump or supplement, and what to watch. Julie works with slow weight gain, low supply and oversupply, and she will help you with relactation, nursing after breast surgery, feeding multiples, or breastfeeding an adopted baby.
Questions moms ask
How do I know if my baby is getting enough?
Steady weight gain and plenty of wet and dirty diapers are the best signs. A weighted feed during a visit shows exactly how much your baby takes at the breast.
I am supplementing with formula. Can I still get back to breastfeeding?
Often, yes. Julie helps families who need to supplement and families working back toward the breast. Your goals set the plan.
Do you help with pumping?
Yes. Pump issues, flange fit and pumping plans are part of a visit when you need them.
