Common Questions about Lactation Counseling and Oral Motor Sessions

I am bringing my infant in to see you. What can I expect?

This will depend on what you are bringing them in for.  There are options of lactation consulting and infant oral motor appointments.  Prior to your visit with us, we will determine what will best fit you.  While in our office, we will gather a detailed history and give you recommendations based on our findings.  This may include additional referrals.  You can expect to see us at a frequency of every 1-3 weeks depending on the situation until you have "graduated" from our care.

Chelsea is the best choice for clients who are between 6 months and 3.5 years old. We will begin with a detailed history to find what will best fit your little one's needs.  We will give recommendations based on our findings and explain what we are looking for.  This appointment might also include referrals to other providers in order to help us achieve optimal outcomes!  You can expect to see us anywhere from every 2-8 weeks depending on what we find in our initial appointment.
