Which service are you more likely to use?

Question

I am thinking of using my maternity leave to begin studying to become either a lactation consultant or doula. Ideally both, but financially and time wise I have to choose one to start with. So I’m curious, would you be more likely to use one of these services? Or if you have gone through the certification process do you have any advice?

Answer

I loved my lactation consultant. I was able to see her before I had the baby, text her when I needed to, and she came to the hospital to help me when baby was born. It was all covered by my insurance because she billed it like a doctors visit. She gave me great tips, free supplies, and literally offered to be my support person when I gave birth because I was doing it alone. I loved her!

Answer

I’d be more likely to use a lactation consultant, but personally I feel like they always want to say a baby has a tongue tie or lip tie and needs corrective surgery and I would want to avoid that.

Answer

I was a birth doula for a while. I would start with lactation consultant because you'll start earning an income faster, then use that money for training to be a doula and then you can combine the two.
