Providers love MilkMatters.
We’re good at what we do.
MilkMatters Lactation Consultants are RN, IBCLCs. We have experience providing professional lactation support to postpartum, NICU, and pediatric patients in hospital, office and home settings. We know our scope of practice and when to refer a family to their provider. We’ve seen a lot and it makes a difference.
We weigh the baby and send you a report.
We bring a scale to home visits. We get accurate weights to see how baby is growing and how well they transfer milk when breastfeeding. After each visit, we fax a report to the baby’s provider, and also to the mother’s provider when appropriate.
We don’t hate formula.
We’re going to use all the tools we have to help a family get where they want to be. Our feeding plans will include supplementation whenever it’s helpful, guilt-free.
Families love us.
It’s just not realistic for you to spend 2 hours coaching parents on breastfeeding, but we have time for that. Families love the convenience of in-home and virtual consults in addition to our centrally-located Albany office, online scheduling, and access to their Lactation Consultant for questions that come up after our visit. They love our non-judgmental approach that’s respectful of them and their babies.
We’d be happy to send you cards to share with your patients. Please email us at hello@milkmattersny.com to request materials.
