Office Visits

​

• Locations:

      We are located at: 1692 Chatham Parkway, Savannah, GA 31405 (inside the Birth Center) 

​

• How long does an office visit last and what is included?

      Initial office visits typically last 1.5 hours. This allows time for collection of a comprehensive history of both parent and baby, completion of both a                        structural and functional oral exam of baby, observation of at least one feeding, and development of a feeding and movement care plan.  In addition, we            will share a summary of our visit with your child's pediatrician (with your permission); and you will have 2-weeks of open communication with us for                    questions that may pop-up.

​

      Follow up visits typically are closer to 1 hour. ​

​

• What if I have a financial hardship but am in need of help feeding my baby?

     ​  We want you to be able to get the help you need and, as such, we have some case-by-case options available along with a referral list. To apply for our             Financial Assistance Program click here. Please ensure that you return with the requested supporting documentation to ensure timely                           processing.

​

• Who may attend the visit?: 

       Both parents, or another support person of choice, are welcome to attend the visit.  We do ask that small children (under 6 or so), who cannot quietly

       entertain themselves for the duration of the appointment, do not attend.  Our limited time together is best spent when we can focus on the feeding     

       challenges at hand.

​

• What if I am pumping and bottle feeding?: 

       We welcome you to schedule a consultation.  Pumping and bottle feeding can bring its own challenges and we are here to help you with everything from           cue-based feeding routines, pump flange sizing, and bottle selection. During our time together we will collect a comprehensive history of both parent and           baby, complete both a structural and functional oral exam of baby, observe at least one feeding, and develop a feeding and movement care plan.  In                 addition, we will share a summary of our visit with your child's pediatrician (with your permission); and you will have 2-weeks of open communication with         us for questions that may pop-up.

​

•  What if I am using donor milk or formula feeding?: 

       We are happy to help.  We know that bottle feeding families often get very little, if any, assistance with the how-to's of infant feeding.  During our time                 together we will collect a comprehensive history of baby, complete both a structural and functional oral exam of baby, observe at least one feeding, and             develop a feeding and movement care plan.  In addition, we will share a summary of our visit with your child's pediatrician (with your permission); and you         will have 2-weeks of open communication with us for questions that may pop-up.

​

• What should I bring to the appointment?

       Bring your baby and anything associated with feeding that you have been using or have questions about.  This may include: pump, bottles, nipple shield           or similar.  You may also consider bringing a couple of your baby's favourite toys (if they are older) that we can use during TummyTime.  If you are

       scheduling a bottle feeding visit, please bring a prepared bottle. 

​

• ​What if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?

       We understand that things come up, especially when you have littles.  You may reschedule your appointment online up to 24 hours before your                         appointment time, should you need to.  We ask that if you need to cancel an appointment that you do so 24 hours or more before your appointment time           to allow for other families in need to access the soonest available appointments. Cancellations less than 24 hours prior to your appointment time (barring           a true emergency), or no-shows without any communication, will be subject to a 50% charge of the appointment fee billed to the card on file.

Home Visits

​

•  How long does a home visit last and what does it include?  

        Home visits typically last 1.5 hours. This allows time for collection of a thorough history, observation of at least one feeding, and discussion of the agreed          upon plan of care.  In addition, we include completion of thorough notes which can be shared with your child's pediatrician; any necessary communication        between us and both your pediatrician and OB, and 2 weeks of follow-up communications between us and you, the client.

​​

• Are masks required?

      We do not currently require clients to wear a mask during the consult.  Our staff will, of course, wear a mask if requested.  We do request that the home            visit be conducted in a separate room to the main living space, to limit the number of people that are present, to maximize safety.

​

• How do I book a home visit?

       Please email us at hello@latchsav.com with "Home Visit Request" or similar in the subject line to book. This way we can maximize our schedule and                 get you seen as soon as possible. 

​

• In which areas are home visits available? 

      Home visits are available within a 30 minute radius of our office location.  Any homes located outside these areas are likely to incur an additional travel fee.

      If you are unsure please feel free to call or email to confirm.
