SUPPORTING YOUR JOURNEY

---

Nurturing Connections offers numerous modalities of support; the most comprehensive being  in home and telehealth. No matter what modality,  I will intently listen to your concerns and create a care plan based on your individual assessment and needs of your baby, you and family. Assessments and all documentation are professionally charted, HIPPA secure and can be sent to your health care provider for review. Copies can also be e-mailed upon request. 

Resources will be suggested and evidenced based education included to present a clear understanding of what is necessary to improve and fix the problem. 

In home visits will be custom tailored to your family's environment. A professional scale will be available for each visit to provide a pre/post weight (gives accurate milk transfer from breast to baby) and for weight check. Gentle oral assessments,  latch techniques,  pump fit/guidance, engorgement, bottle feeding, and back to work care plans are examples of solutions provided. Other tools will be brought to your home along with guidance of where to find any suggested items. 

Telehealth is a great way to identify breastfeeding issues from the comfort of your home. I have experience in telehealth assessments via triage and comprehensively. 

Many of the same assessments and interventions can be done as in home. For example: oral assessments, latching techniques, pump fit/guidance, milk supply issues, engorgement, bottle feeding, and back to work care plans.

I have numerous tools that will be used to demonstrate any advice given! 

*Telehealth is not a good fit if your baby is having weight issues or preterm/late-preterm.
