Preparing for Your Lactation Consult

We are so excited to support you on your feeding journey! Above all, we want you to feel comfortable, supported, and relaxed during your visit.

đź“Ť Location & Parking

Our office is located in Jacksonville Beach in the pink building!

  • Address: 830 3rd St S, Suite 206, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250
  • Where to find us: We are located upstairs in Suite 206 (up a short flight of stairs).
  • Parking: Park anywhere around the building, or in the shopping plaza next door
  • Need help upstairs? Recovering from a C-section? Carrying a stroller, car seat, or just have your hands full? Text us as soon as you arrive! We are more than happy to come downstairs and help you carry your stroller, baby gear, or give you a hand getting upstairs.

👶 How to Prepare Your Baby

Try to time it so baby is ready to feed around your appointment time, but please don’t let baby starve! A hangry baby makes for a stressful visit. If your baby is hungry before your appointment, always respond to their cues and feed them.

✨ What to Expect During Your Visit

No need to stress or dress up—just bring yourself and baby! During our time together, we will:

  • Listen to Your Story: Review your health history, feeding goals, and how you’re feeling (mentally & physically).
  • Baby & Breast Check: Complete a quick physical exam for mom and check baby’s neck, shoulders, and oral structures (including tongue/lip ties).
  • Weighted Feeding: Weigh baby before and after feeding on our sensitive scale to see exactly how much milk they’re getting.
  • Hands-On Support: Help with latching, positioning, alternative feeding methods, or flange sizing & pump setup.
  • Custom Care Plan: Work together to create a manageable, realistic plan tailored to your family’s specific goals.

đź’Ś What Happens After Your Visit?

  • Your Custom Folder: You’ll take home a yellow folder packed with helpful resources, plus receive a digital Care Plan (and Superbill, if applicable) via email within 24 hours.
  • Continuity of Care: With your permission, we’ll share your Care Plan with your pediatrician or OB/midwife.
  • 30 Days of Support: You’ll have 30 days of secure messaging access to our team for follow-up questions, encouragement, or baby photos! Think of us as your LC-in-your-pocket.
