Exclusive Pumping Consultation
Being an EP mother is a personal choice and you deserve to get the right support for it
Exclusive pumping is extra hard work
You’ve decided that EP is for you, or perhaps you have no choice but to be an EP mum. EP life can be tough and overwhelming especially in the initial phase. Whatever the reason is, you need trained pumping support.
Reasons to book an Exclusive Pumping consult
Worried about low milk supply
Struggling with oversupply
Unsure how often to pump and when
Planning to decrease pumping frequency
Unsure how much milk to express
Questions around handling and storing expressed breast milk
Unsure how to care for older child while needing to pump for baby
And more…
Personalised for you.
Every pumping experience is a different one and what worked for one mother may not work for others. This Exclusive Pumping Consultation will allow families to share their concerns, assess pumping routine, including observation of a pumping session. A personalised pumping plan will be provided at the end of the consult.
What if I want to direct latch more instead?
This is a safe space with no-judgement for EP mothers. Being an EP mum is also a breastfeeding mother. Not all EP mothers want to exclusive pump and that’s okay. If you find that you do not have enough support or not sure how to transit more towards direct latching, you’ve come to the right place!
What will be covered?
Pumping assessment
Flange sizing and measurement
Managing milk supply
Handling and storing expressed breast milk
The ideal and right way to bottle feed baby
Techniques to pumping effectively
And more…
All consultations will include the following…
-
Understanding your individual journey is key to providing the best breastfeeding support. We'll discuss your and your baby's health history, including birth weight, feeding frequency, diaper output, and pumping/expressing habits.
If you've experienced any medical concerns, a difficult pregnancy or birth, or your baby has any health conditions, please share this openly with me.
This information is crucial for tailoring our support to your specific needs.
-
We might discuss the possibility of examining your breasts and nipples, especially if you're experiencing any discomfort.
This examination helps me to identify potential causes and recommend the best approach for healing and improving your comfort level.
-
The heart of a lactation consultation often involves watching you feed your baby.
This could be breastfeeding, or bottle-feeding, depending on your situation.
Many parents are surprised to learn that small adjustments in positioning and latch can significantly improve comfort and feeding efficiency for both you and your baby.
Don't hesitate to ask questions and get clarification on any new techniques – my goal is to empower you with the knowledge and skills for successful feeding, even after our visit!
-
After your baby finishes feeding and settles down (hopefully for a nap!) or pumping finishes, I will address any questions you have.
We'll discuss what worked well during the session and explore any adjustments that might further improve your breastfeeding / pumping experience.
Together, we'll develop a personalized plan for the coming days and discuss how we can stay connected to ensure your continued success.
Additionally, I can recommend and refer you to other healthcare professionals who could provide further support for you and your baby.
Remember, you're not alone in this journey!
