When should I reach out?

Anytime. Before your baby arrives is great, and so is week one or month six. You don't have to wait until it feels like an emergency.

Do I have to be exclusively breastfeeding?

Not at all. Nursing, pumping, formula, or a mix of all three. Your goals are yours, and they're allowed to change.

What happens at a visit?

We'll talk about how things have been going, I'll watch a feed if you're comfortable, and we'll make a plan you can actually stick with. Visit length and format are set when you book.

Do you do home visits in my town?

Most likely. I'm based in Sturbridge, MA and visit homes all over Worcester County (Sturbridge & South County, Worcester & nearby, Blackstone Valley, Route 9 & I-495, North County), plus MetroWest towns like Westborough, Hopkinton, Framingham, Natick, Wellesley, Sudbury, and Concord. If you're farther out, ask anyway. A home visit can often be arranged with a travel fee, and virtual visits work anywhere in Massachusetts.

Do you offer video calls?

Yes. Video calls work well for pumping plans, getting ready to go back to work, and follow-up questions, and you can join from your phone wherever you are.

How does text support work?

Text support packages give you a direct line to me between visits. Send a question, a photo, or a quick update, and I'll text you back with real answers. The Feeding Support Package includes 30 days of it.

Is lactation support covered by insurance?

Many health plans cover lactation support as preventive care, and HSA or FSA funds can often be used. Just ask when you reach out and I'll give you a receipt you can submit.

Can you help with urgent medical concerns?

I'm not a substitute for your doctor or your baby's pediatrician. If something feels urgent with you or your baby, call your provider or 911 first.
