Infant Feeding Consultations
“Mothers and babies form an inseparable biological and social unit; the health and nutrition of one group cannot be divorced from the health and nutrition of the other.”

Prenatal
Prenatal Lactation Visit — $150
This prenatal session is available in-person or virtually and is designed to ease those normal worries by giving you clear, straightforward information. We’ll talk about what to expect in those early days bringing your baby home, so you can feel prepared and empowered from the start.
We’ll spend our time together:
Learning the basics of how milk production works and normal infant behavoir.
Practicing comfortable holds and latch techniques so they feel familiar.
Creating a simple, personalized plan for your first feeds at home.
Answering any specific questions you have, whether it’s your first time or you’re hoping for a different experience this time around.
My goal is for you to feel calm, capable, and ready to welcome your baby, equipped with knowledge and a plan.
Postpartum
Initial In-home Lactation Visit — $220
You might be feeling overwhelmed, in pain, or worried that your baby isn't getting enough. Please know that you are not alone, and lactation challenges are very common. This initial visit is all about rolling up our sleeves together to figure out what’s going on. I come to your home so we can work on solutions in your own comfortable space, where you and your baby can relax.
Together, we will:
Talk through you and your baby’s medical history so I can understand the whole picture.
Take a gentle look at your baby’s feeding skills by assessing oral anatomy and function.
Watch a feeding to see where we can make adjustments for more comfort and better milk transfer.
When needed, use a pediatric scale to provide pre and post feed weight assessment.
As an allied health professional, I collaborate with your and your baby’s care providers (OB/GYN, pediatrician, or midwife) to ensure coordinated care, and will connect you with trusted specialists should either of you need extra support.
You’ll leave our visit with a clear, manageable plan to reduce frustration, increase comfort, and help your baby thrive.
Follow-up Visit — $175
Making changes takes time. This follow-up session is your opportunity to check in, celebrate the wins (no matter how small), and make any necessary adjustments to the feeding plan as you and your baby grow. Whether you're facing new questions or just want the reassurance that things are moving in the right direction, I’m here for you.
During our follow-up, we’ll:
See how the changes we made are working for you both.
Fine-tune techniques and tackle any new challenges that have come up.
Make sure your feeding plan still feels sustainable and supportive for your whole family.
This is a chance to reinforce your confidence and ensure you feel supported.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) dictates that most insurance plans are required to cover six lactation support visits with an IBCLC or other qualified provider at no cost to you.
Contact your insurance provider to confirm what’s needed for your visits to be covered (such as a referral or in-network provider). Don’t hesitate to use the benefits you’re entitled to—you deserve this support!
