Lactation Counseling

About

Little Whale Therapy is pleased offers lactation counseling services. Services are provided via home visits and/or a secure tele-health platform. Courtney Grenning, MA, CCC-SLP, CLC is a speech-language pathologist and certified lactation counselor. Courtney provides lactation care within the Little Whale Therapy model. Sessions prioritize your individual goals, with a warm, responsive, evidence-based approach that supports the entire family.

It is recommended that a lactation care provider be established before birth so that counseling can be provided both prenatally and as soon as possible after birth. Meet with a few lactation counselors to figure out the best fit. If you are pregnant and thinking about breastfeeding, please get in touch!

When To See A Lactation Counselor

Lactation counselors provide education and support for issues throughout the entire breastfeeding journey, not just right after birth. Some of these include:

• Prenatal education

• Latching difficulties

• Breast/nipple soreness

• Over/under supply

• Introducing bottles

• Pumping

• Return to work

• Complementary feeding (introducing solids)

• Weaning from breastfeeding
