1 week old unable to latch. In person or drive up works . Virtual not preferred

I tried to breastfeed my last child but she absolutely wouldn’t latch. [personal details hidden] so she wouldn’t latch without a nipple shield that was too painful to use. I tried to pump but [personal details hidden], [personal details hidden]. I don’t know if I was just doing it wrong or if I just didn’t have any milk. Because I don’t know what I was doing wrong, I don’t know how to do it right this time round. I think I need a prenatal appnt to figure out how to size everything right, methods, nipple healing when it hurts too much, tools and products to use. I don’t even know how much milk I should be able to get out in the first weeks or how to store and make use of pumped milk because I never got the chance to learn it. I’d like someone experienced and gentle. I don’t do well with blunt, tough love, especially postpartum. Lower budget would be nice but I don’t have much idea of what a consultant costs

First baby and planning to birth in a hospital but with as minimal intervention as possible.

Hi. I am looking for help with breastfeeding and pumping for my newborn son. He nurses frequently and has plenty of wet diapers, but my pumping output varies. Sometimes I get a few ounces and other times only drops, which makes me worry about my supply. I would like help checking his latch and making sure he is getting enough milk. I also need help with flange sizing, pump settings, and a pumping routine that works with my school schedule. Please let me know your availability, visit options, pricing, and whether you accept insurance.

First child, giving birth at GBMC in Baltimore, MD. Would like to go as long as possible without an epidural to prioritize movement, but definitely plan on getting said epidural and no desire or need to go fully natural. Would like as much education as support for going into birth, how my husband can support me (counterpressure, advocacy for a generally go-with-the-flow personality, etc.) breastfeeding (a huge goal is to exclusively breastfeed as long as possible, but my mom had to supplement with formula so I'm worried I will have to as well), postpartum, and in general what me and my husband can expect. Unsure of any budget, what is standard/reasonable, if insurances covers such a services, etc.

First baby to be delivered in DC at Sibleys hospital. Looking for someone to support me during the birth as I would like to have a natural birth. Budget is under 1200

First baby, hospital birth at Georgetown. Would like to labor naturally as long as possible but I am not totally against pain relief. Would love a doula who can support me in different positioning, hip squeezes etc and help me exercise my full agency during birth. It’s important to me to find someone who is a blend of holistic care and Western medicine. We’d also love for our doula to help us a bit after birth with postpartum and newborn care. Tri-Care East (Humana military) will cover the six hours worth of visits + one untimed visit for birth so we need someone who is a participant with them. After that our budget for postpartum/newborn support is $1,000 but we are open to discussing that further.

I’m really nervous about labor and delivery. I want an epidural and am good with medical intervention. I’m nervous that my husband won’t be calm during the birthing process. I need someone who can help me be calm through it and help coach my husband through it. I also am nervous about being very vulnerable during birth and consent is very important for me and want to make sure I feel comfortable and not taken advantage of. Giving birth at Sibley I’m also very nervous about postpartum. This is my first pregnancy
