For someone so tiny, your baby comes with some big questions, especially if you’re planning to breastfeed. You’ve read all the books, visited all the websites, and asked your friends for their mama-tested tips so you can be prepared before your little one’s arrival.
But sometimes, that well-intended – and often conflicting – advice just stirs up more anxieties.
Dr. Christina Thuet of Ella & Allo is here to unravel the confusion by sharing breastfeeding guidance around your specific goals. Whether you’re a first-time or experienced parent, Dr. Thuet will help you develop a clear plan so you’re ready for this exciting new chapter in your life!
Ella & Allo offers consultations in our office or virtually across the state of Utah. We encourage your support partner to join us during your consultation, so they can build their breastfeeding knowledge as well.
Prenatal planning for your breastfeeding journey provides you the peace of mind every expectant parent hopes for. Dr. Thuet will cover everything you need to know, help anticipate and troubleshoot problems before they start and ease any fears or concerns you may have. In addition, she’ll ensure you have the right breastfeeding supplies on hand and share resources to rely on when questions arise.
While every parent can benefit from a prenatal lactation consultation, it’s especially important for families expecting multiples or a baby with special medical needs.
As a board-certified breastfeeding and lactation medicine specialist, Dr. Thuet can help parents who have not given birth provide their new baby with the nutritional benefits of breastfeeding/chestfeeding. Through personalized hormone therapy, herbal supplements, and a regular pumping schedule, adoptive parents, those who welcomed their baby through surrogacy, and same sex couples can embrace this incredible bonding experience.
Parents who have a history of infertility, cancer, anatomical breast concerns, or breast surgery, including breast augmentation or reduction, may face additional challenges when breastfeeding. Dr. Thuet performs a complete medical evaluation to identify any potential risks for low milk supply or feeding issues. Based on this assessment, Dr. Thuet is able to help families set realistic expectations and provide tailored feeding recommendations that allow them to achieve their feeding goals.
