Hi there! Need support with a few things Baby was in NICU for a few days out of precaution and we left with her combo feeding - breast and formula. I wanted to get her off formula so I started pumping twice a day, and now we’re doing occasional top offs with breast milk in a bottle after I breast feed her. Would love guidance to know if she’s getting enough milk from my breasts and if the top offs are still necessary. My breasts still feel full after but she falls asleep as hard as I try to wake her up. She’s doing 15 min and 10/15 min. Guidance on when to pump. Right now doing one AM and one PM because my breasts hurt and feel like I need to empty them. wondering if I’m doing this “right” How long to pump for so that I DON’T trigger my body to make extra milk Will be going back to work in December. Would love a plan. Just overall guidance :)

Just got home last night after c-section and need support asap

I'm looking for a doula to support me throughout my 3rd trimester of pregnancy, during labor and delivery, and in the postpartum period. I'm hoping to find someone who has experience supporting births at Englewood Hospital, has extensive experience as a doula, and is supportive of a medicated birth. It's important to me to work with someone who will respect my birth preferences while providing guidance, advocacy, and evidence-based support throughout the process.

Have a one week old. It feels like breastfeeding is going really well, but want to be sure her latch is good, understand different breastfeeding positions, and better understand starting to build a freezer stash for bottle feeding in the future. I have been able to collect a decent amount with light use of my boon trove, but want to be sure I’m using it correctly. Would love an in- person appointment.

Recently discharged home with newborn after challenging delivery where baby needed to be fed formula for first day of life, now trying to build up milk supply with pumping and formula supplementation. Need help with coordinating pumping and feeding schedule, and working on deep latch - despite some signs of increasing supply in first postpartum week like mild engorgement and baby being able to feed for longer with less intake of formula, having significant nipple soreness and some change in shape of nipple consistent with shallow latch in cross body hold. Also would like help with trying out other baby nursing positions, since I have bilateral carpal tunnel. Prefer home visits for hands on guidance, but can travel within a short drive (max 30 min) for outpatient visit if necessary

About four days after giving birth and breastfeeding, my nipples were in so much pain and breastfeeding was super painful. This only lasted a couple days though and was really good for a while. Then earlier this week I got a blister on my nipple and things have been painful again. I’m not sure what happened. I think my breasts may be getting too engorged and she’s having trouble getting a deep latch sometimes now. She’s three weeks old. Would love to have a home visit soon. I have United healthcare community plan and am having trouble finding anyone that takes it.

Two week old with the a weak latch. She is not pulling hard enough

Five weeks postpartum with a very hungry baby! Looking for support with latching and a flange assessment because pain and output have varied, and I am getting frequent clogs. NYCEPPO insurance acceptance preferable, but if not, $300 for a in-person session would be the maximum amount I can pay.

My one week old is feeding on breast for up to an hour (sometimes more) and when she falls asleep and I put her down, she cries for more. I’ve pumped and bottle fed as well, she takes the bottle for around 30-45 minutes and does the same process. The only time she feeds well and sleeps for a 2+ hours is when we have to supplement with formula. I’ve had virtual consultations but I really think I’d benefit most to an in-person visit.
