Find Lactation Consultant Jobs Near Elizabeth, NJ

Currently seeking support for my wife and son. My son may have lip/tongue tie. We're waiting to get some blood work done on him to ensure he does not have factor 11 blood deficiency, and from there we will decide on how to move forward with the procedure to correct his possible lip/tongue lip. Currently need support with his latch to breastfeed.

I gave birth on March 5th and the today is day 4, and I feel my best is engorged on both side. I used breast pump multiple times per day, but still only 10-15 ml per pump on both side. The baby latched on the first 2 days, but it’s a shallow latch, and he can’t suck out much milk. I would like to request an onsite visit.

Hi, Looking for a doula to help me prepare for childbirth and be present at the birth - hoping for a medicated vagina birth in the hospital (Jersey City Medical center). This is my first child. My husband and I have no family in the country (we’re British from the UK) and so extra support is needed. Would also like support after during the postpartum stage. Unsure on costs for this kind of thing so advice would be great. Thank you

Currently my new born is on formula and need to get shifted to breast feeding. Also, my milk supply is very small. Need help in increasing milk supply and changing my newborn to breast feed. In-home visit is much appreciated.

I require a consultant to help me with latching with my baby. I am not producing sufficient amount of milk and hence will need an experienced person to help me and guide me through this. It would be better to have the consultant to visit my home. My insurance is blue cross blue shield

We don't know how much doula costs so we need a guidance here. We live in Jersey City (Newport) and need postpartum doula. About us: We’re a bilingual English-Russian couple, both Jewish and fairly agnostic. While religion isn’t central to our lives, we’d prefer someone who understands our cultural background—usually that’s other Jewish people or Christians. This will be our first baby, and we’re looking for someone who can help us prepare. Ideally, we’d like to start with a call to go over what to expect and how to get ready for labor. We also want someone to visit us at home on the second day after birth to walk us through feeding and basic newborn care. Longer-term, we’re open to ongoing support and possibly having someone with us during labor, depending on pricing. We have Anthem insurance and would appreciate a clear picture of the financial commitment up front. In terms of approach, we’re pragmatic and prefer someone who’s professional, kind, and direct. I don’t like being called “mommy” or being spoken to in a cutesy or overly emotional way. A grounded, focused personality would be a better fit. We’re sensitive and emotionally aware, but not drawn to overly spiritual approaches. We’re looking for someone who understands both the science and the natural, intuitive side of birth, without leaning too far into either extreme. For labor, I plan to move around, avoid medication if I can manage the pain, and steer clear of anything involving needles. I’ve tried meditation and it doesn’t work for me, so I’d prefer other methods like breathwork, bathing, dim lighting, and moving intuitively. English is my second language, so clear pronunciation is important. And finally, we have a very active and friendly corgi, so being comfortable around dogs is a must.

Lactation Consultation Help with latch and breastfeeding

This is my first pregnancy and I am looking to work with someone who can help guide me through this experience. I am not usually well during emergency situations and could really benefit from support.

hi Philline. I am breastfeeding my almost 1 month old. Haven’t used a lactation consultant yet but wanting to get more education and support with some things. One: pumping for when I go back to work as I’ve been exclusively breast feeding besides manually hand pumping. Two: figuring out my let down and supply. Sometimes I am shooting milk in his face and can hand pump a lot but then in the evening/night he is waking every hour to eat. Three: how do I tell when he’s feeding versus just sucking. I think sometimes he just twiddles my nipple in his mouth so I’m not sure if I’m emptying when I switch breasts. Four: he does favor looking to his right so he bobs more on my right breast because it’s to his left but then my left nipple is always sore, even in the shower with water running it is sensitive. I was using nipple shields in the beginning I got from Englewood where I delivered but thought it was contributing to my soreness and since stopped so I wonder if the sizing was appropriate. I have Aetna multi tier epo insurance so looking for someone in network and an in home appt where I have all my supplies. Your name was listed under my insurance as in network and hoping we can connect.
