Lactation Consulting
In Your Own Home
Billed to Insurance
Melissa Hnosko, IBCLC CPD
As a Board Certified Lactation Consultant and Postpartum Doula, I provide evidence based in-home feeding support to families in and around Lincoln, NE throughout the duration of infancy.
No matter what your birth plans include, one thing is certain: You will thrive with knowledgeable advocates by your side, even if things don’t go as planned.
The same is true of your postpartum feeding journey.
And like birth, you deserve someone to come alongside your family, to support and uphold you, to advocate for your feeding choices and to bring a well rounded foundation of evidence based assistance into your home. You need a voice of unbiased reason when you’re receiving advice from all sides.
You deserve personalized, attentive care; in your home.
In-Home Lactation Consulting & Breastfeeding Help
Breastfeeding is natural, but learned. Lincoln Lactation brings experience & tools into your home to help you build a healthy breastfeeding relationship from the very beginning. We help with:
Newborn latch and positioning to maximize milk transfer and minimize weight loss
Assessment of milk removal and weight gain with a highly sensitive +/- 2g scale
Education on using your pump, pumping efficiently, Flange fit, and collecting milk safely
Help for babies who are rejecting the bottle or having a difficult time with it
Tips and tricks for avoiding and handling frustrating problems like blebs, thrush, vasospasm, & chronic inflammation (what we used to call “plugged ducts”)
I provide fact based information that saves families from googling their way through their breastfeeding concerns. Together we prevent problems instead of waiting for them to arise before seeking help. I come prepared with my bag of tips and tricks to help you avoid unnecessary interventions. I promote preventative lactation care and help families determine whether further professional help seems necessary before there is a crisis that requires it.
