BREASTFEEDING SAVVY CONSULTANTS CLINIC

Breastfeeding Savvy (BFS) is a feeding clinic, emulating a homelike setting, located at 634 Plank Road, Clifton Park, NY, 12065, Suite 102. Our clinic was created to support the postpartum period and optimize the dyads feeding journey.

Our mission is to provide empathetic and evidenced based support to families in the community. To ensure the physical and mental wellbeing of both the postpartum parent as well as the safety of the neonate.

We follow AAP guidelines as well as ABM protocols. We believe it is essential to provide feeding education and support to the entire family (partners, siblings, grandparents etc.) to ensure the most enjoyable and safest feeding journey obtainable.

We devise an individual feeding plan based on parents feeding goal, while making priority that this goal is safe and conducive to infants physiological and psychological development.

We collaborate with other health care professionals such as fellow lactation consultants, nurse practitioners, family practitioners, pediatricians, midwives, obstetricians and pediatric dentists to ensure optimal outcomes.

We offer the postpartum community a safe haven for postpartum mothers to gather and connect with one another via our “postpartum circles”. We also offer breastfeeding classes as well as CPR classes. Parenting classes to come soon!

Patient/Family consultation at breastfeeding savvy

• An initial consultation typically takes 1.5-2 hours.

• We process conception, pregnancy, delivery, hospital stay and finally the breastfeeding journey.

• This is our standard process because we have found many times woman cannot move on to the breastfeeding journey without debriefing/celebrating the prior events.

• We focus on physical/ mental health and wellness of the postpartum mom as well as ensure the health and the safety of the neonate.

• A follow up typically takes 45mins-1 hr. We process the current plan and adjust based on neonate clinical findings and mothers physical/mental health.

• We have hospital grade scales to calculate milk transfer at the breast.

• We aim to book consults opposite of pediatric weight checks.

  Our consultants are seasoned consultants and have over 65 years of hospital experience collectively.
