I was referred here by my pediatrician's office and I am so glad. I had a concern that my milk production was decreasing. Being a first time mom, I felt defeated and extremely upset. I cried when the pediatrician's office told me that I needed to start supplementing with formula. I had an appointment yesterday and they helped me so much! As it turns out, the way I was feeding my child wasn't as comfortable as it could have been. They showed me a much better way than the nurse at the hospital originally showed me. She has a much better latch and stays on better. There are so many things that affect milk production! It's crazy! We zeroed in on what my issue was and they prescribed me something that should help. There are also all kinds of herbs and supplements you can take. They figure out what's best for you.
You meet with a lactation consultant and a physician. Just be aware that if you have a copay, you'll have to pay twice. One for you and one for baby. You're both patients. Wear something comfortable. You're going to be breastfeeding there! You can bring a support person too which is nice. I brought my husband. Parking is free. You can valet though if you'd like. I'm not sure of the cost. If you park in the back lot, go through the main entrance in back. They can tell you at the desk where to go from there. The clinic is in the lower level of Professional Building I.
All the tips and tricks they told me definitely made the visit worth it. I go back for a follow up appointment next week. I wish I could remember the consultants name that helped us. If I find out, I'll edit this and add her name. I cannot praise her enough. She was so well informed and not judgmental in the least bit. read more
