Initial Home Visit
Up to a 90 minute lactation consultation in the comfort of your home. No need to get dressed up or leave the house - I’ll come to you! While observing a feeding I will address any challenges you may be facing, such as latch & positioning. I will weigh your baby pre / post feed to assess how much breast milk is being transferred and will also do a gentle oral exam to check for things such as lip or tongue tie. I’ll provide guidance on how to resolve any issues while supporting your individual breastfeeding goals and answer any additional questions / concerns you may have. Within 1 week I will reach out to check your progess.

What People Are Saying About Stacey
“My experience with Stacey from Lactation Express was nothing short of phenomenal. A week after giving birth to my son he was having a very shallow latch, which was causing me discomfort and pain. I contacted Stacey for help. She was extremely prompt with answering and was able to come for my consultation the next work day. During my consultation she made me feel extremely comfortable and answered all of the questions that I had. Stacey observed what I established with my son but provided me with strategies and modifications in order to make us successful! Stacey also followed up with me a few days after to see how things were going as well as asked about our doctor visit! She is extremely knowledgeable and invested in her clients success!”
— Brianna K.
“After being separated from my daughter for the first few days of her life and not being able to have her latch, I thought breastfeeding was going to be impossible. Stacey took the time to show me how to properly pump while away from my daughter so that she could still receive breastmilk and so that my supply would come in. She also pointed out some medications that could be causing my supply to drop and helped me choose some alternatives that were more breastfeeding friendly. I left the hospital with my daughter before she had an opportunity to latch or even attempt to breastfeed. Stacey helped us via text, phone calls, pictures, videos and even FaceTime to get my daughter efficiently nursing. We were successfully able to exclusively breastfeed for almost a year! Without Stacey’s knowledge, patience and guidance we never would have been able to experience the benefits and special bond from breastfeeding. We are forever thankful to have such an amazing person in our lives!”
— Katie M.
“My consultation with Stacey was amazing. I decided to give breastfeeding a try after I had my second child and starting at the hospital things took a turn for the worst. My daughters latch was completely wrong and the pain was getting worse each day. Finding Stacey was a godsend! She was very friendly, patient and informative in all aspects of breastfeeding. I highly recommend her to anyone interested in breastfeeding or simply for information. Thank you Stacey!”
