Breastfeeding Support

Breastfeeding is an important and special time for both mother and baby.  Mary Etna is a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, and is here to help you reach your breastfeeding goals.  I am proud to offer personalized  counseling and education both before and after the arrival of your  new baby!

Prenatal Breastfeeding Education

Start with confidence!  This prenatal education/counseling session is ideal for first time mothers, as well as for mothers who may have experienced previous challenges while breastfeeding.  Since this is a private session, I am able to tailor the information to your personal needs.  Learn the basics of breastfeeding, address any concerns you might have, make a plan for returning to work, and learn how to troubleshoot common challenges, all from the comfort and privacy of your own home!

Fee for Prenatal Breastfeeding Education and Counseling:
$60 for a 1.5 hour class
$40  per hour for established clients

Postpartum Breastfeeding Support

Once your little one arrives, I can help you ease into a confident, healthful breastfeeding relationship and help you address common concerns, such as sore nipples, engorged breasts, uncertainties about milk supply or latch,  using a breast pump, or returning to work.  Often times, minor aches and discomforts can be addressed with only minor adjustments.  Addressing problems early-on can help prevent many future ones (and sometimes worse ones) from developing!  Together, we can explore a variety of evidence-based and time-tested techniques to ensure you both get the most from this important time.  

Fees for Postpartum Breastfeeding Counseling:
 $60 per hour for new clients
$40 per hour for established clients
 Additional visits: $30 per hour
