Individual Lactation Consults- Office or Home Visit

Includes a detailed breastfeeding history of mother and baby, an assessment of mother and baby's anatomy, weight check and measurement of milk transfer, personal instruction in optimal latch and positioning techniques, and observation of a breastfeeding for purpose of evaluating technique and baby's effectiveness at breast.  Also includes a full written plan of care provided to client, physician report and follow up via our secure messaging system.

We now offer a limited number of home visits each week.  We encourage these visits for clients who do not have the ability to come to the office such as twins, pre-term infants post NICU discharge or any other person who may benefit from an in-home visit.  There is a $50 travel fee for all home visits that will be collected at the time of booking.  Insurance benefits can then be used for those with Aetna, Amerihealth and Indepedence BCBS insurance.  For self-pay clients, the remainder ($165) will be collected at the conclusion of the visit.

Follow Up Consults 

Client and LC will determine together whether follow up consult is needed. Most follow up weight checks can done at our Mommy Meet Up and will not require a follow up consult. 

Prenatal Consults

Our prenatal consultations are especially helpful for first time expectant parents, or expectant parents with special concerns. It is a wonderful opportunity to discuss and prepare for any expected or potential breastfeeding issues and learn how to optimize breastfeeding in the first weeks after birth. *Please note we highly recommend that first time parents schedule our Prenatal Breastfeeding Class to learn basic breastfeeding management.
