Lactation Consulting
Sessions are offered in your own home or in our Crescent Beach clinic, and can be self-referred or referred by your physician or midwife.
The International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) you will meet with is specialist in lactation management. The IBCLC credential is widely recognized as the gold standard in breastfeeding expertise. The IBCLCs at Crescent Moon also have additional qualification of several years experience in breastfeeding assistance and skilled technical management of lactation-related problems. With a focus on preventative health care, we use a problem solving approach to provide appropriate information, recommendations and referrals. We value your input and involve you in the decision-making. Follow-up is especially helpful. A follow-up appointment may be recommended to evaluate your progress and modify or reinforce the plan.
A consultation includes;
a 90 minute initial visit with maternal and infant history and assessment specific to the concern, assessment of infant feeding, and initial care plan
follow-up appropriate to the original concern (telephone call or drop-in clinic) for updates and adjusting of the plan
optional faxed report to your caregiver
At our sunny clinic in Crescent Beach: $65 for initial visit, $55 for additional visits.
Home Visit (in the White Rock, Surrey, Langley area): $75 for initial visit, $60 for additional visits.
Optional equipment: Breastfeeding accessories may be recommended by the lactation consultant to facilitate your progress and are optional.
