Find Lactation Consultant Jobs in Kansas

Baby cluster feeds a lot. Latch is uncomfortable.

I am 21 will be 22 years old when this baby is born. I am a first time mom wanting to give birth unmedicated vaginally. I plan to give birth at St. Francis in Topeka, KS. I am a little concerned about breast feeding as my nipples are inverted. I hope to get someone that accepts my insurance and not pay out of pocket. I am on Tricare Select.

Help with feeding, diapers, postpartum care for mom.

This is my second birth. I plan to give birth at home with midwives present. I have no idea what our budget would be or what doulas charge. I plan to go fully uneducated and give birth in a birth tub and I plan to deliver the baby myself. As for a postpartum doula, I don't know our budget or what the cost typically is but my last postpartum was emotionally horrific and I would love more ppd/mood support.

I need lactation consult to help me build my milk supply up and help my baby latch and breastfeed. I don't produce enough milk

Hospital- OPR Unsure on pricing. Would like to be as natural as possible but also have idiopathic Intracranial hypertension. All depends on my condition at the time of delivery.

I’m confused about flange size. 1m seems too small and 21mm seems too large. I was sick and started my period. I use donor milk but I want to nurse him. I want to be able to feed my baby. I want to get my supply back. I haven’t had it since was 3 weeks old. I just didn’t know what I was doing and I still don’t.

I would like to have a weekly mom group I can be a part of. I live in Kansas. I struggled with postpartum depression with my last pregnancy. It consumed me for 6-9 months post partum. I had to take zoloft and attend weekly therapy consultations. I was on mental health watch from my doctors. My health insurance provided me with a nurse that called me once a week. It was the winter in 2020 and I was all alone. I had planned to breast feed and had all the supplies but no milk came. That is what triggered my PPD. I felt like I wasn't really a mom and I didn't deserve to have a child since I couldn't properly care for it. I felt like a burden to my baby and every single person I ran into (stranger or friend or family member) Their very first (or second) question was "Are you breastfeeding?" and I would just drown from my own grief and guilt of being clearly insufficient; and shut down completely. I dissociated and felt the walls closing in. This mental collapse made caring for a newborn difficult since I was not bonding with my baby I was just feeling worthless. And babies play off of the vibes of the mother. A calm mother will have a calm baby. A distressed mother will have a distressed baby. And so the snowball rolled. I want to be proactive this time around. I want to have a support network that feels real and authentic. A penpal? An online class with cameras so that we can all see each other? I plan to give birth at the hospital and my plan is to go with the flow. That is what feels the best for me. Planning and over planning something like giving birth is a mistake, in my opinion. I want to experience it as it happens. I want to feel the needs of my baby and provide my body with the mental support it needs. I want to have a caring nurse there who advocates for me better than even I can, because doctors can be harsh and rude and labor can alter moods/emotions. I watch "Call the Midwife" and I would love to have someone like that. But midwives are expensive and I cannot afford them. My income is about $40k annually. I do not have low-income govt assistance. I have health insurance through my employer. I plan to take 3 months Maternity leave.

I am planning to give birth at home and have a midwife already, but heard some insurances cover doulas as well and wanted to check that. I would really like to breastfeed exclusively so would also like to have a lactation consultant to reach out to if needed.

My baby seems to never get satisfied off of breastfeeding and will eat for hours when I try to feed her. However she’ll only drink 3-5 ounces of formula. Which when I pump I make just that, so I’m thinking maybe we have a latch issue because it is a little painful sometimes, not terrible but she also has crazy suction. Would like to do an at home appointment if possible, maybe we could weigh her before and after a feeding. We have Aetna insurance, as well as Kancare.
