Follow-Up Breastfeeding Consultation

Breastfeeding doesn’t end after the newborn stage. A follow-up consultation gives you space to adjust your plan, ask new questions, and get support as your baby grows. Whether you’re returning to work, introducing a bottle or solids, or simply wanting to continue nursing longer, you’ll have guidance to make informed choices with confidence.

    From introducing a bottle or solids to deciding how long you’d like to continue breastfeeding, you’ll get clear information to make the best choices for your family.

What to Expect in a Follow-up Consultation

Checking In on Your Progress

Every family’s feeding journey shifts over time. In this session, we’ll revisit your goals, see what’s working, and talk through any new challenges that have come up since your first visit.

Adjusting Your Feeding Plan

As babies grow, needs change. Together we’ll update your plan so it fits where you are now—whether that means fine-tuning latch and positioning, managing supply, or making feeding more comfortable for both of you.

Returning to Work or School

Heading back to work doesn’t have to mean stopping breastfeeding. We’ll go over pumping strategies, how to store milk safely, and ways to keep your supply steady while balancing work and home life.

Introducing Bottles or Solids

If you’re considering a bottle or starting solids, we’ll talk about gentle, supportive approaches that keep breastfeeding strong. You’ll learn how to pace bottle feeds, introduce solids in a way that feels natural, and still protect your nursing relationship.

Continuing the Journey

There’s no one “right” timeline for breastfeeding. We’ll look at what research says about the benefits of continuing, how to manage breastfeeding into toddlerhood if you choose, and how to make decisions that feel right for your family.

Emotional Reassurance and Confidence

Follow-ups aren’t only about logistics—they’re also a chance to reconnect, ask questions, and get encouragement from someone who understands. You’ll leave with more confidence, clarity, and peace of mind.
