Low Milk Supply Evaluation

​​IN OFFICE or VIRTUAL consultation

​

What to expect : 

​

Assessement:

• Share your experience :motivations and barriers, guidance

• Health and Pregnancy History: A deep-dive into your pre-pregnancy health, menstrual history, and pregnancy complications

• Identifying the Onset

• Review when you first noticed a decrease in milk supply offers insights into whether the issue has been progressive or sudden

• Current Routines : Understanding your daily breastfeeding and/or pumping schedules helps identify patterns and potential areas for adjustment

• Previous Attempts and Interventions: Knowing what has been tried and the results helps focus our efforts on new or adjusted strategies

• Decision-making for Blood Work: Based on the conversation, we collaboratively choose relevant blood work to investigate underlying causes

• Physical Examination: Whether in-person or via telehealth, a thorough check for physical factors like insufficient glandular tissue, proper pump flange sizing, and assessing the baby for tethered oral tissues is crucial.

​

This streamlined approach ensures that every aspect of the consultation is purposeful and geared towards understanding and addressing the root causes of low milk

supply.
