How Long are visits?
Each visit is intentionally unhurried, allowing space for assessment, education, hands-on support, and questions.
Most visits range between 2 to 4 hours of in-home care, depending on the type of visit and your needs. Professional nursing documentation is completed separately to ensure care time in your home remains focused and uninterrupted.
Typical visit structure includes:
Initial visit: Approximately 4 hours of in-home care
Follow-up visits: Approximately 2–3 hours of in-home care
Visit length is adjusted based on clinical needs, tier of support, and where you are in your postpartum journey.
As part of professional nursing standards, additional time is allocated outside of visits for charting and care coordination.
Lactation Consultation
〰️
Lactation Consultation 〰️
-
PRENATAL CONSULTATION
We will discuss lactation and supply, basics of breastfeeding and needs of the mom-baby dyad. We will review your health history, any previous feeding experience and discuss your feeding goals, questions and concerns.
Not planning on breastfeeding or planning on combo feeding? No worries, we can help with that too! We can discuss alternative feeding options and milk supply management.
-
POSTPARTUM CONSULTATION
Are you wondering if your baby is getting enough milk? Questioning if breastfeeding should feel uncomfortable, or if supplementing is the right choice?
We’re here to support you through all of it.
During your one-on-one visit, we will take the time to understand your health history, explore your feeding goals, and talk through any concerns you may be holding. We will gently observe a feeding, assess your baby’s growth and intake, and offer hands-on guidance along the way.
Together, we will create a care plan that feels supportive, personalized, and aligned with both you and your baby. ✨
-
PUMP & BOTTLE SUPPORT
Is my pump working right? How much milk should I be making? Which bottle should I use?
This service is ideal if you are exclusively pumping, just getting started, working to increase supply, navigating time away from your baby, returning to work, or simply needing more support with your pump.
Did you know there is a way of bottle-feeding that allows your baby to guide the pace? This approach can help reduce overfeeding, minimize discomfort and fussiness, and support a more connected feeding experience between you and your baby.
-
ADDITIONAL FOLLOW-UPS
Feeding challenges can take time to improve and may evolve over several days or weeks. As things shift, we may gently adjust your care plan to best support you and your baby.
Your needs and feeding goals can also change along the way, and ongoing support can make a meaningful difference. A follow-up visit allows us to reassess, provide reassurance, and continue guiding you as your feeding journey unfolds.
What Support Can Look Like After Birth
After your baby arrives, Vivara visits are designed to support both you and your baby through:
Newborn assessments including weight checks, feeding support, jaundice screening, and vital signs
Postpartum recovery assessments such as bleeding, incision or perineal healing, breast health, and overall physical recovery
Lactation and infant feeding support, including troubleshooting and education
Emotional wellbeing check-ins and mental health screening
Education around normal versus concerning postpartum and newborn changes
Holding your baby so you can rest, shower, eat, or take a moment for yourself
Gentle holistic supports woven into care when appropriate
Professional nursing documentation to support continuity of care and insurance reimbursement
Each visit is guided by your needs that day. There are no rushed timelines and no one-size-fits-all approach.
Families Often Reach Out to Us When
Many families connect with Vivara during pregnancy, knowing they want support in place before their baby arrives.
Expectant parents often reach out when:
They want postpartum support arranged before birth, so care is already in place
They are planning for recovery after a C-section or medically complex birth
They want lactation and feeding support available from the very beginning
They are mindful of postpartum mental health and want proactive support
They are expecting their first baby and want guidance once they’re home
They have experienced a difficult postpartum period before and want a different experience this time
They want professional, in-home Registered Nurse care lined up before delivery
You do not need to wait until things feel hard to reach out. Planning ahead creates a softer landing.
