Start with your goals
Your goals guide the conversation, whether you hope to breastfeed, plan to use formula or combination feeding, or are still exploring your options. Feeding decisions are personal and may change.
Keep your care connected
This optional prenatal planning visit complements your OB care. Your postpartum OB appointments remain an essential part of your care plan. Our Family Medicine team can help you think through your support needs and clarify next steps for additional care. If you have already delivered, tell our scheduling team so we can help arrange appropriate follow-up.
Before your visit
Bring your feeding questions, a list of medicines and supplements, and any instructions from your OB team. You do not need to have every decision made before you come in.
What to expect
Discuss your feeding questions and the support you would like after birth. You can also plan how your own follow-up and ongoing primary care will fit alongside your OB care. Contact our Family Medicine team to confirm the right appointment and location.
Common questions
Do I need to have chosen a feeding plan?

Can I come if I have breastfed before?

Does the appointment include a visit for my baby?
This appointment focuses on your planning and care. Ask our team about a separate infant appointment if needed.
