Breastfeeding Insurance Package

Get breastfeeding off to a good start by planning ahead to reduce your stress. Breastfeeding success goes beyond getting the facts, it also involves creating the time and space to practice and build your confidence.

Here’s your recipe for success:

• Prenatal consult
• Combined postpartum doula support and lactation consulting
• 15 hours of postpartum support (5 home care visits)
• Phone and email support

In-home Consultations

Breastfeeding support in the comfort of your home makes things easier for you and allows your consultant to see the whole picture. In most cases, two visits are included in order to provide comprehensive care and a chance for you to stay in touch with your consultant for an extended period of time.

Postpartum Doula Support

For extended in-home support during the first 12 weeks, a doula is an excellent option. She will provide newborn care tips, infant feeding support, maternal health education and an opportunity to get some rest so you can enjoy your new baby. A 4-hour minimum is required and for neighborhoods over 15 miles from Oakland a daily $15 gas charge will be applied.

Skype Consultations

If you live in an area with limited access to breastfeeding support, ‘face to face’ web-based visits can help. Skype is a web-based communication tool that utilizes your home computer’s camera. For more information visit www.skype.com. We also support Gmail video chat.

Phone Consultations

Many questions can be answered with a simple phone call. Most in-home consultations include complimentary phone support, but for long distance situations a phone call may be a family’s only option. If a phone assessment determines that you need to be seen by a consultant, we will be happy to help you locate a professional near you.
