Expecting a Baby in Plymouth? Start with a Prenatal Consultation
Feeding Preparation That Sets You Up for Success
When preparing for a baby in Plymouth, understanding how feeding will work before delivery can make a significant difference in your postpartum experience. A prenatal consultation gives you the opportunity to explore your feeding goals, learn latching basics, and build confidence in techniques like hand expression—all before your baby arrives.
Stanton Lactation & Feeding Therapy offers comprehensive 60-90 minute sessions designed specifically for expectant parents. These sessions cover everything from creating a realistic feeding plan to understanding what support you'll need in the early days. Instead of waiting until challenges arise, you gain tools and knowledge while you still have time to prepare.
What Happens During Your Session
Your consultation begins with a conversation about your individual feeding goals and any concerns you may have. Whether this is your first baby or you've had feeding difficulties in the past, the session is tailored to your specific needs. You'll learn practical techniques for establishing a latch, how to hand express colostrum, and what to expect during the first few days postpartum.
The session also covers how to prepare your support system, what supplies are helpful versus unnecessary, and how to recognize when additional help might be needed. You leave with a clear plan and the confidence to begin feeding your baby with less uncertainty and more realistic expectations.
