A prenatal consult is like a private breast feeding class, and can help you feel confident once baby arrives. These consults can be especially helpful if you: have a history of breast/chest surgery, have had difficulties with breast/chestfeeding a previous baby, are concerned about anatomical issues like inverted nipples, know you or your baby may have other challenges that impact feeding, feel anxious about getting feeding off to the best start, are interested in inducing lactation as a non-gestational parent. During this visit we will:

• Discuss your questions, concerns, fears

• Review pertinent medical or breastfeeding history

• Examine your breasts/chest

• Co-develop a feeding plan that aligns with your individual goals

• Provide helpful links, resources, and referrals
