Virtual Messenger Support
Are you in need of one-on-one breastfeeding support? Then you’re in the right place!
At The Breastfeeding Mama, we offer virtual messenger support. This is a convenient way to get the breastfeeding resources and support you need from a lactation professional.
Easy. Helpful. Supportive.
- Have a basic breastfeeding question?
- Not sure of the best course of action when it comes to a breastfeeding question?
- Need some breastfeeding encouragement?
Virtual Breastfeeding Messenger Support is right for you!
How Much Does This Cost?
This service is $39 a month and includes unlimited messaging support for basic troubleshooting and support – which may include some back and forth photos or videos of issues. If you choose to be billed on a quarterly basis, the price is $125 for four months – or $31.25 a month – billed all at once!
Secure and convenient breastfeeding support – straight from your phone!
This service offers:
- Secure and encrypted messaging using the Signal app (available in the App Store and Google Chrome store)
- Answers to breastfeeding questions
- Follow up support for different problems
- Articles, Videos, and Books for further information on different topics.
- Referrals for full consults (either in person or virtual)
This does not offer:
- Full consults
- Urgent needs (such as a dehydrated baby, low diaper output, extreme pain, etc.)
- Weight checks
- Other issues that require in person support
- 24/7 support – most messages are responded to in 24 hours (a little longer on the weekend), though this can vary. Often you will get a response much more quickly.
This is not meant to be a replacement for a lactation consult. We do our best to offer as much as support as we can, but at times, you may be referred for a virtual consult with Katie.
