I have a one week old girl and feeds have been painful. She doesn’t latch on properly and I derl she is still hungry after. I have insurance coverage through aetna and would like at home consultation

I had to supplement with formula for a few days while in the hospital. I think my baby is experiencing nipple confusion and I would like some tips to get him back to latching on the breast as my milk has begun to come in.

This will be my second home water birth. I plan to have my baby naturally and unmedicated. I like to be very hands on and prefer someone who is okay taking the backseat or driving so to speak, whenever I express so. I want to avoid a hospital birth but if it’s necessary I’m willing to listen to the advice of a midwife but if I am uncomfortable with something I will say so. I prefer someone who has attended and assisted many births, at least 200. I’d like to find a birth center or in home midwife that can be covered or partially covered by Medicaid and I have anthem health keepers plus. If out of pocket, I’d like to stay close to $4,000 for prenatal care and birth. I’d like a person who is knowledgeable in breastfeeding and who can assist immediately after birth or direct me to someone who can.

I tried to breastfeed my last child but she absolutely wouldn’t latch. I think I have flat nipples so she wouldn’t latch without a nipple shield that was too painful to use. I tried to pump but never had any milk output, I don’t even think I had colostrum. 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

Home visit ibclc certified lactation consultant Maryland

Two week old who seems to be eating plenty, but her feeds are fast (6-11 minutes). She usually only has one breast per feed and will fall asleep right after. I worry that she is not emptying the milk. I’ve been using a Hakka on the opposite breast and now I worry that it’s caused an over supply. So Sunday 9/20 I got the chills and felt engorged. But no fever. She has her second pediatrician appointment this Wednesday. Seeking a home visit this week and advice on avoiding mastitis while ensuring supply and healthy baby feeds. Additionally looking for a consultant that accepts Care First insurance.

Hi there, I am looking for an in home consultation for my baby and I. We live in Stafford. I’d want the consult to be covered by Anthem BCBS insurance.
