Video/Virtual consultations are available for any stage in your breast/chest feeding journey in any geographic location. Whether you're a first time parent struggling with position and latch or a veteran parent experiencing new concerns with your latest addition, a virtual consultation will help you get on track to reaching your goals. A virtual consult still includes a full medical history and birth story and an observation of a feeding. I will guide you through position and latch. Having a second person available to help hold the phone or using a laptop for hands free is very helpful. Virtual consultations available through FaceTime, Skype or Zoom*. Cash rate: $175.

A super bill can also be provided upon request for any consultation type to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Reimbursement is not guaranteed, but many families receive partial to full reimbursement. Please contact your insurance company directly before booking to discuss your current insurance plan and coverage for lactation services.

Breast and Bottle Refusal

Does your baby need help transitioning to a bottle because you're going back to work or need a feeding break? Will baby only take a bottle when breastfeeding was the goal? Curious on when and how to introduce solids? Have a picky eater? I can help answer any concerns related to infant and toddler feeding. Babies eat differently at the breast than on a bottle, and solids are a different experience than liquids. I will help you and your little one navigate the wonderful world of feeding! In home and office consultations available and would be booked as an initial consultation. CLICK HERE to see if you qualify through Lactation Network for a $0 out of pocket consultation
