What To Expect During Your Home Visit

My bubba Theodore Alexander. September 2016.

• Most visits last anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour-and-a-half. There is absolutely no rush. I will be there as long as necessary to address all of your needs!

• I typically remove my shoes at the door.

• I am a pet-friendly person. No worries if your pets are excited for visitors!

• I will start out by getting a baby-weight. I prefer to have baby naked down to a clean, dry diaper.

• I will need a flat, firm surface for my scale, on a coffee or dining-room table.

• I will observe and assess a breastfeeding session and weigh baby afterwards to determine how much baby took and then discuss my recommendations.

A note about your home: I know how nerve-wracking it can be to have visitors (especially a stranger) in your house after you've had a baby. The dishes are stacked in the sink. Laundry is piled on the couch. Burp rags are tossed on the floor, all the while you are leaking through your shirt and wearing a diaper just like your baby is. PLEASE KNOW IT'S OKAY! I expect to see mess. You have just had a baby and the LAST thing you need to worry about is cleaning your house for me. Solidarity, sister!
