What happens at an in-person consult?
In-person consults typically include a thorough pregnancy and birth history of both parent and child, a baby weight check, and a full feeding assessment. In addition, we will collaborate with you on a care plan that will move you closer to your feeding goals. Initial in-person consults are 60-90 minutes long. Follow-up in-person consults are 30-60 minutes long. We also offer in-person prenatal consults.
Pricing
Initial in-person consults are typically $250, sliding scale available.
Follow-up in-person consults are typically $200, sliding scale available.
