MomSense services
Breastfeeding Medicine
At MomSense, our team provides comprehensive breastfeeding medicine solutions.
Our Advanced Practice nurses (APRNs) and International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) look at the entire picture — including any risk factors that mom and/or baby may have that can be common causes of infant feeding difficulties. An IBCLC will evaluate and help with any feeding-related problems you may be experiencing to help you meet your breastfeeding goals, whatever they may be. This means that bottle-feeding infants are a huge part of our practice at MomSense!
Working in combination with APRNs allows us the ability to treat any medical complications such as mastitis, thrush, perform frenectomies when necessary, assess and treat medical causes of supply issues.
CO2 laser frenectomy
Evaluations/oral functional assessments are performed with our specialty-trained IBCLCs and APRNs to determine if an oral tie may be a reason that a baby is having trouble with feedings. Post-procedure plan of care includes follow-up appointments to assure that wounds heal correctly and a possible recommendation for other services may be given — such as a speech-language pathologist, chiropractor, cranial-sacral therapist, and/or oral myofunctional therapist based on the functional difficulties that may be present.
SneakPeek DNA gender testing
While every person has her own DNA in her bloodstream, a pregnant woman’s bloodstream also contains DNA from her unborn child. SneakPeek looks for male chromosomes in a small sample of mom’s blood. If male chromosomes are found, that means the baby is a boy. If none are found, the baby is a girl. SneakPeek is 99.9% accurate at eight weeks into pregnancy.
Adult laser frenectomy
A nurse practitioner would see you in the office for an assessment and if warranted, refer you to a speech-language pathologist for an evaluation and appropriate pre/post-operative exercises. After working with the speech-language pathologist, you can then be scheduled with the nurse practitioner for a frenectomy.
Creamatocrit testing
Sometimes it can relieve parents to know exactly how many calories their baby is getting — especially if a mother has been mistakenly told that she has “skim milk”.
Any mother is welcome to have their milk tested, whether there are perceived caloric deficits or you are simply interested in finding out how many calories your breast milk may contain. One way to assess the caloric content of your milk is to perform a creamatocrit test on your breastmilk to measure the amount of calories and fat. Breast milk is placed in a tube and spun in a machine, which causes the cream in your milk to rise to the top. The amount of cream helps us to figure out the amount of fat and calories in your breast milk.
Prenatal consults
Meet with an IBCLC for a prenatal visit in order to talk about your concerns and expectations with breastfeeding to help you prepare for the birth of your baby and get assistance from an expert to help you along the way with your breastfeeding journey.
Infant weight checks
MomSense offers no-cost weight checks Monday thru Friday with no appointment necessary. If you are worried about weight gain or just curious about your baby’s weight, a weight check is a great way to ease your mind.
Baby and feeding supply donation
MomSense is a donation site for unopened formula, non-expired coupons, breastfeeding supplies, including pumps, and other feeding-related items. Anyone in need is welcome to stop in and take what they need. No appointment is needed.
