Virtual Lactation Consults

I actually LOVE doing virtual consults. They are much more relaxed (moms aren't so worried about the dirty dishes in the sink and the new baby mess all over the house - but I would never even notice that anyway - mom of 4 boys and all 🤣) There are some challenges to overcome by not being face to face but with an experienced lactation consultant, some good props and instructions we can work through these issues. One of the advantages of a virtual consult is that we must work much more closely as a team. Another is we can have more frequent contact. And of course, because of the ability to meet virtually, no matter where you are in the world, lactation consultations are now available to you. And of course, with COVID, this has been the preferred method lately.

In Home Lactation Consults (Metro Atlanta - Cumming/Forsyth/Suwanee/North Fulton Areas)

In Home Lactation Consultations are the gold standard of lactation support because you can get the most hands on assistance from the lactation consultant. In this consult, both mother and baby can receive the most thorough examinations with the maximum amount of hands-on positioning and assistance. In this consult, the baby can also be weighed which some moms find helpful. This type of consultation is only available to moms in my local Cumming, Ga area. Rest assured, I am fully vaccinated and take every precaution to protect your family's health at these visits. If you have a question about whether you are in my home visit area or need help deciding if this consult is right for you, send me a message below.

Love from Dream Baby Mamas

Kate - First Time Mom

LuAnn truly understands families and supports us with practical solutions that are best for the health and wellness of children. After seeing a couple of lactation consultants in the hospital, LuAnn was the only person to help my daughter latch. She always follows up to check in with you and is always so kind and professional. We are so lucky to know LuAnn. 

Jennifer Hunt - Working Mom

I’m breastfeeding my daughter and was incredibly anxious about losing my milk supply while traveling for work. I asked several experienced friends, but never quite got the answers I needed to help me feel comfortable hopping on a plane without being able to nurse my baby. LuAnn asked 4 quick questions and then gave me the info I needed to make a decision that was right for me and my baby. I went on my work trip with confidence and only wish I’d asked LuAnn for advice sooner.
