In person Lactation support and education

What Your Office Lactation Consultation Covers

As an IBCLC, first and foremost I’m here to listen to your concerns. While I hope you find me early, often mothers come to me exhausted, with bleeding nipples, and simply looking for help. I’ll give you exactly what you’re looking for. I care deeply about each family that chooses me to guide them on this meaningful journey.

We’ll Discuss Other Valuable Topics Like:

• Pregnancy, Labor and Birth History

• Medical & Health Concerns

• Assess Latch and Oral Function

• Supply Issues

• Mental Health (You Matter Too!)

• Education on Tongue Tie if Needed

• Resources You Need

• Custom Care Plan

• Referral Recommendations if Needed
  

BONUS: All my consultations come with 2 weeks of email and text support — because I know you’ll have questions and need reassurance. I’m here to make your life easier!

Don’t suffer when you’ve got me in your corner.

Office visit info:

• A partner or loved is welcome to attend.

• Bring any supplies you use (nipple shields and creams, nursing pillow, pump parts, bottles, formulas, etc).

• Try to bring baby hungry if possible, so don’t feed for 90-120 mins before visit

Note: Your privacy and protected health information (PHI) are of utmost importance. Cuddles and Milk uses HIPPA-compliant platforms to meet virtually so your privacy is protected. My email is also HIPPA compliant for communication, as I know pictures say a thousand words!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set up an appointment?

1. Select your appointment type based on coverage.

2. Pay if applicable*.

3. Sign for consent and acknowledgment of HIPPA through my secure platform.

Yup, it’s that easy!

*For Aetna just upload your insurance card to Mobile Lactation Consultant when you fill out your paperwork. For The Lactation Network (those not Kaiser or Medicaid) verify your coverage here, then fill out paperwork once appointment is confirmed.

Are online lactation visits covered by insurance?

Cuddles and Milk is In-Network with Aetna & The Lactation Network, which works with your insurance to provide breastfeeding support. You have to apply through The Lactation Network to receive their assistance. You must apply BEFORE our visit (and if your insurance isn’t accepted, you will need to pay self pay rate). A copay is required for Lactation Network visits.

What if my insurance isn't accepted?

I’ll provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company after our visit. Your coverage will determine how much is owed. I also accept HSA, flex spending, and self-pay.

What are the rates for self-pay*?

$75 -  30 min “check-in” for previous clients seen within last 4 weeks

$150 - 60 min (follow-up or basic problems)

$185 - 75 min visit (more complex issues)

$225 - 90 min longer visit to deal with more complicated issues or just want more time to talk and try out the feeding strategies

$300 - twins require (2) 60 min appointments - can be back to back or done on different days. (Each baby needs a separate appointment.)

*All self pay is shown at the discounted rate for payment upfront.

How many visits will I need?

Every baby and situation is unique. We work together until feeding your baby is a breeze.
