Prenatal Visit

Get a head start before baby arrives

Feeding your baby is a skill you learn together, and it helps to have a little guidance before the big day. A prenatal visit is a relaxed, no-pressure time to ask questions, feel prepared, and build a plan that fits your family.

Your visit includes:

• A conversation about your hopes, your health history, and any worries you have

• What to expect in the first days and weeks of feeding

• Hands-on practice with positioning and latch, using a doll or breast model

• An introduction to hand expression and pumping, including what to buy (and what you can skip)

• Tips for setting up your space and building your support team

• A simple plan for your first week, so you feel ready

Partners and support people are warmly welcome to join.

Where: In the comfort of your home, or in clinic at 405 NE 3rd St, Suite 7, McMinnville, OR.

When to book: Most families find the third trimester, around 32 to 36 weeks, to be the sweet spot. You're close enough to feel ready and early enough to have plenty of time to prepare.

Insurance: Most insurance plans cover prenatal lactation visits, so you may be able to receive this support at little or no cost to you. 🩷
