Telelactation Appointments

Virtually connect with a lactation consultant or provider to discuss your lactation concerns and questions. A follow-up visit, either in person or virtually, may be recommended after your initial consultation. Concerns about latch, breast/nipple pain or tongue tie evaluation are best seen in person; however, we are happy to see you via telemedicine if preferred for any reason.

Note: You do not need to be a URMC patient to schedule an appointment; however, you must be in New York State at the time of your visit.

Before Your Appointment

Respect and Privacy

At our clinic, every family is valued and respected in their individuality.

  • We are Safe Space trained which means that every staff member has committed to providing evidence-based and respectful care to our LGBTQI+ patients.
  • Breastfeeding can feel private, and is sometimes uncomfortable to do in front of others. We welcome you to bring a support person. We also offer chaperones for breast exams and breastfeeding as well on request.
  • All body types are welcome. Patients with larger bodies can feel uncomfortable in healthcare environments because of bias, small chairs and over-emphasis on weight loss. We offer comfortable seating, trained and welcoming staff, and do not routinely weigh postpartum patients.

What to Bring

  • Come with baby if you are latching!
  • Bring your pump and pump supplies, especially if you have any problems with milk expression or milk supply.
  • Bring baby’s food, if they take pumped milk or formula.
