One-on-one breastfeeding Consultation in Your Home or Our Office
When a breastfeeding mother has questions or worries, we're here to say "You don't have to go it alone!" So often a new mother feels isolated and without guideposts in those early days. Alternatively, conflicting advice from caring friends and family can feel overwhelming.
Many new mothers find great value in having a personal consultation to address their specific concerns. Mothers Guild offers private breastfeeding consultation in your home or our office. Together, we will address your concerns. We will design a short-term plan, leave you with written recommendations and plan for follow-up in 2 – 5 days.
A one-time fee includes all follow up. We are committed to your success and will support you until you have reached your breastfeeding goals.
We will stick with you until you find your way!

*There are occasional times when young babies need supplementation with expressed breast milk or formula while learning to breastfeed or while mom is building supply. Rather than use bottles, which can create a barrier to your baby learning to breastfeed, we suggest alternative methods. If you are already giving bottles but hope your baby can learn to breastfeed, we will teach you how to supplement safely and build milk supply while learning to breastfeed.
