Prenatal Consultation
Start your journey feeling educated, empowered, and informed. This consultation is perfect for new parents or mothers who had difficulty breastfeeding in the past.
If you do not have any health conditions or concerns of premature labor, this is ideal to schedule around 36 weeks of pregnancy.
We will complete a full intake, review your health history, and complete a maternal breast examination, with your permission. The purpose of this examination is to assess for breast changes and identify any factors that could affect your baby being able to latch or contribute to potential supply issues.
We will go over any specific concerns or worries that you have about breastfeeding and/or pumping. Together, we will develop an individualized care plan to help you meet your goals. We will provide you a written care plan for reference.

Solids Consultation
A Solids Feeding Consultation with A Mother's Village can assist you to prevent and/or resolve problems related to your child's feeding.
Common solids feeding difficulties:
Solids refusal - where a baby or toddler appears to lack interest in eating solids. He/she is not upset when offered.
Feeding aversion - where a baby or toddler appears to be distressed when placed into the highchair or when offered solid foods and refuses to eat despite obvious signs of hunger.
Reliance on distractions - where a baby or toddler will only eat when entertained by toys, books, television, or videos.
Gagging or choking - when a baby or toddler repeatedly gags or chokes while feeding. This can be physical, behavioral, refusal, or fussy or distressed behavior at mealtimes.
Learn how to support your child to enjoy eating a variety of healthy foods and develop skills that enable him/her to self-feed.
Referrals will provided to other healthcare/medical professionals, if necessary.
