Breast ‘N Baby Lactation Services, LLC
About me
Prenatal preparation has the value of building a relationship with Dr. Carol Chamblin. Scheduling a Prenatal Appointment will prepare you for breastfeeding by teaching you the anatomy and physiology of the lactating breast using research-based findings. Gaining accurate knowledge prior to birth can prepare you to make informed choices if breastfeeding struggles occur. The evaluation of breastfeeding(or pumping) for all newborns is important.
I partner with The Lactation Network. This prenatal appointment takes place in your home and is covered by most insurances as preventative care. Contact info:https://go.lactationnetwork.com/Breast’NBabyLactationServices. TLN will process your insurance for the Prenatal and Postnatal appointments.

Medela BabyWeigh Scale
Appointments will consist of: assistance with latching technique, assessment of infant’s intake at breast on day 4-5 days of life or later with the use of the Medela BabyWeigh scale. This scale weighs your baby in grams and the grams = mL’s of intake. The scale is research-based for its accuracy in determining intake within 2 mL’s.
Based on your newborn’s intake, interventions will be implemented to ensure your baby is getting fed enough and that you are making enough milk for your baby. Most problems are solved with proper research-based interventions and my wealth of clinical experiences. Ongoing appointments will be conducted for further evaluation of your progress until your goals are achieved.
MEDELA SYMPHONY BREASTPUMP
Early management of breastfeeding may include a mother’s need for effective pumping. It is not recommended to start pumping until your infant is 3-4 weeks old if breastfeeding is going well. However, common reasons for breastfeeding to not be going well are sore nipples, painful engorgement, and perceived insufficient milk supply.
Personal breast pumps provided by most insurances are not the most effective for the initiation of an adequate milk supply. I work with many frustrated mothers who were not educated on the differences in pump types, and experience a delay in milk production, or a low milk supply. Using a Medela Symphony hospital-grade double-electric breast pump usually improves milk supply, and quite frequently mothers I’ve set-up with the use of the Symphony pump are able to achieve a full milk supply.
