Virtual Lactation & Breastfeeding Medicine Services

Virtual lactation consultations online are one-on-one telehealth consultations conducted via secure video platform. These visits provide the same clinical assessment, education, and individualized care planning as in-person visits—without travel, waiting rooms, or geographic limitations.​ Virtual lactation care is ideal for both preventive education and complex feeding challenges.

Many lactation and feeding concerns can be effectively evaluated and managed through remote lactation care, including:

Prenatal Lactation Planning​

• Preconception health evaluation

• Prenatal feeding consultations​

​

Breastfeeding & Feeding Concerns

• Low milk supply or oversupply

• Pumping concerns and flange sizing guidance

• Painful latch or nipple trauma

• Feeding schedules and newborn behavior

• Combination feeding and supplementation

• Weaning and feeding transitions

​

Breastfeeding Medicine & Medical Concerns

• Hormonal or endocrine conditions affecting milk supply

• Recurrent mastitis or plugged ducts

• Medication safety during lactation

• Induced lactation and relactation

• Feeding challenges after infertility treatment

​

Virtual care allows for detailed history review, observation, and evidence-based planning.

Virtual lactation consultations typically last 60 minutes and include:

• Comprehensive intake and medical history review

• Review of risk factors for lactation challenges

• Discussion of what's working and what's not

• Milk production and supply assessment

• Personalized, evidence-based care plan

• Clear next steps and follow-up options

You’ll receive practical guidance that fits your real life—not generic advice.

Virtual services are an excellent option if you:

• Do not have access to in-person lactation care

• Prefer care from the comfort of home

• Have complex or ongoing feeding concerns

• Need breastfeeding medicine expertise

• Are seeking prenatal feeding preparation

• Are pumping, supplementing, or combination feeding
