In general if your baby is experiencing high weight loss or if you are experiencing nipple damage it is better to first schedule an in-person lactation consultation. Click the button to call Ruth and see if you qualify for a covered lactation consultation in your home or in office.
The lactation support group is 90 minutes every Thursday dedicated to weighing your baby, hanging out with other parents, and a lactation consultant.
