Your HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN MAY COVER consultation fees

Colostrum (first breast milk) is often called "liquid gold" for a reason; it helps to protect your baby from infections and builds their immune and digestive systems. Hand expressing and storing your colostrum while you are pregnant allows you to have your milk on hand at birth. 

I will provide instruction on breast expression, assistance in collection and discussion of proper storage. For most women, expression is considered safe starting at 37 weeks; consult your physician or midwife prior to booking an appointment.
