  • Therapeutic hand-held ultrasound for relief of plugged ducts, etc.
  • How to manage a fast letdown and oversupply
  • Measuring flange sizes (both breasts) and how to best use your pump (settings/fittings etc)
  • Creating a feeding plan that supports maternal mental health and the Mother’s feeding goals
  • Provide community resources, and referrals as needed to other healthcare professionals
  • Full tongue/lip tie and upper body assessment
  • Managing torticollis
  • Assistance/support with increasing milk production
  • Managing reflux, gassiness, colic, and other newborn health concerns

Follow-up consultations (virtual or in-person): What to expect: Reassess your journey to date and address any issues that may have come up.
