Lactation Consultants in Georgetown KY

Welcome to Hometown Lactation, where we proudly serve families in Georgetown, KY, with professional lactation services to support you and your baby on your feeding journey. We offer a range of services designed to meet the needs of new and experienced parents alike.

Prenatal Lactation Consulting

Start your breastfeeding journey with a prenatal lactation consult to feel educated, empowered, and informed. This consultation is perfect for new mothers or mamas who have difficulty breastfeeding.

What to Expect from a Prenatal Lactation Consult

We will complete an entire intake and review your health history and feeding goals. We discuss what to expect, how to navigate the hospital, what’s normal, and what’s needed for immediate attention. We also review realistic expectations once you’re home and how you’re up your support system so they can best help you in those early weeks!

We will discuss any specific concerns or worries you have about breastfeeding and pumping. We will then develop an individualized care plan to help you meet your goals and provide you with a written care plan for reference.

Lactation Consultation

Your baby has finally arrived, and you are super excited to get your lactation journey off to a great start! It is best to schedule an appointment with your lactation consultant as soon as possible before any issues arise.

During your lactation consultation visits, we discuss any issues you may be experiencing and your current goals. We then devise an individualized plan to help you meet those goals while also ensuring your baby is being well-fed and growing well.

At every lactation consultation visit, we weigh your baby, perform an oral and full-body exam, help with latching, and weigh your baby post-feed to get a good picture of how much the baby can transfer during a feed. You always receive a visit summary via email after your visits for any instructions, links, feeding plans, etc., to refer back to.

Craniosacral Fascial Therapy

Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) is a gentle, natural approach with beneficial therapeutic effects. It blends the established modalities of Cranial Sacral Therapy and Myofascial Release with the dental technique developed by Dr. Barry Gillespie.

This technique may help improve the body’s overall function and facilitate better breastfeeding outcomes. Learn more about how this therapy may benefit your baby.

Breast Pump Flange Fittings

A flange fitting involves measuring each nipple to ensure the appropriate flange size is used while pumping. A proper fit is essential for pain-free and comfortable pumping.

Why Do I Need Flange-Sizing?

Are you experiencing pain?
Nipple damage?
Low output?
Are you still feeling full after pumping?
Unsure if your flange is too big or too small?

If the answer is “yes,” a fitting can”help” reduce pain and damage while increasing output and overall comfort.

Bottle Refusal Consults

Are you going back to work? Are you ready to wean? Or would you just like to have a little time away from the baby?

Bottle feeding is a crucial part of many families’ feeding. However, some babies may resist feeding from a bottle due to age, oral abilities, or other factors. We are here to help you navigate this part of your feeding plan.

Virtual Lactation Consults

Distance and travel should not be a factor in receiving the support you need to help feed your baby! Our team is trained to provide expert support, even from afar. Virtual visits can address oral exams, flange fittings, supply concerns, and much more—everything you would get in person.
