Why Sweet Relief ?
Breastfeeding, chestfeeding and/or pumping, whether exclusively or in combination with supplementation, can be beautiful experiences- but RARELY are they seamless. Yes! Our bodies are usually made to feed our infants, AND a little and sometimes a lot of hands-on assistance, reassurance and instructions can be pivotal in some of the most wonderful and exhausting moments to weeks to months following birth.
Whether for a prenatal visit to develop and discuss your personal goals, or for help once your newest family member has arrived; whether you’re experiencing pain or are ready to end your journey- I THANK YOU for allowing me to meet you right where you are, and bring some much deserved sweet relief.
Virtual Visits
Face to face assessments and conversation with the help of modern technology.
**I may recommend against virtual appointments for certain circumstances for best outcome.
Home Visit
I will meet you where you are, in the comfort of your own home, to perform skilled assessments and hands-on assistance, bringing any possibly helpful or necessary tools along with me.
Home vs Virtual Visit
Services Offered- Just to name a few…
Oral Assessment of Infant
Assessing for any restrictions or suck patterns that may be interfering with milk transfer.
Hand Expression
Hand expression can be useful to collect and store human milk prior to delivery, and post birth when having difficulty latching.
Weighted Feeds
A little bit of quantitative data can be helpful in giving a lot of information about a feed.
Supplemental Feeding
As needed, syringes, cups, bottles, or a feeding system at the breast can be great tools for feeding your infant.
Breast Assessment
We’re all born with a pair but they come in all sizes, and don’t always match and often can change dramatically when pregnant and post birth.
Pump Fitting/Setup
Ensuring you are properly fitted and knowing how to navigate and troubleshoot goes a long way when ready to begin using your personal pump.

Prenatal Visit
Let’s get to know each other! Having talked about feeding your baby ahead of time will pay off tremendously post-birth! I’ll asses your breasts/chest, we’ll review your history and your goals for feeding your baby. After a mini, one on one breast/chestfeeding class, we can take a look at your pump if you have one, or talk about any other tools/questions you may have.

Initial Post Birth Visit
Now it’s time to meet that baby! It’s probably been a few days to a little over a week from birth- let’s see how its going! We’ll review your birth story, assess your post-birth breasts/chest and infant’s oral cavity, as well as assist with or reassure you during a feed or pump session. I’ll create a care plan for the feeding parent and baby and plan for our follow up visit.
(60 - 90 min)

Follow-up Visit
At this point- we’re family! During this visit we’ll review techniques, re-assess breasts/chest and nipples, check infant weight status as needed, make changes to the care plan and decide if additional visits are needed/wanted.
(30 - 60min)
