Preparing for a virtual visit
The same personalized, professional care, from the comfort of home.
Step 1. Capture clear, helpful videos
Short videos let me see what's happening with your baby's feeding before we meet online.
- Use good lighting. Natural daylight or a bright lamp works best.
- Ask for an extra set of hands. Someone to hold the camera helps.
- Keep it short. Several 15–30 second clips are easier than one long video.
Step 2. What to record
- Record a typical latching session; a side angle works best.
- Capture anything you're unsure about, pulling off, fussing, clicking.
- Get a close-up of your baby's cheeks and lips while feeding.
Step 3. Upload before the visit
- Go to the Documents section in Practice Better.
- Upload your videos before your appointment so I can review ahead of time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Still wondering about something? Reach out any time.
Yes. Virtual consultations are highly effective, and many families prefer them. With a little preparation, good lighting and a couple of short feeding videos. I can assess latch, positioning, milk transfer, and pumping just as thoroughly, and you receive the same personalized care plan. Virtual appointments are available to families across Canada.
Absolutely, and I encourage it. Feeding is a family effort. When your partner, spouse, or another support person joins, they learn practical ways to help, understand normal newborn behaviour, and feel more confident supporting you. A strong support network is one of the biggest predictors of feeding success.
