Prenatal Lactation Consults

What is a prenatal lactation consult?

A prenatal lactation consult is an appointment while you are still pregnant to go over everything related to breastfeeding and/or pumping for your newborn. We also look at your own individual history to help identify any challenges you may face. 

​

What will we go over?

• How to latch your baby

• Different breastfeeding positions

• How to know when baby is hungry & done

• How to know baby is getting enough

• Help you decide what type of pump will work best for you

• Measure you for pump flanges (in person consults)

• Show you how to hand express milk and save it while still pregnant (if desired)

• Go over your personal history

• We also are then a familiar face once your baby is born if you do run into any challenges.

Will my insurance cover it, what is the cost?
Most insurances will reimburse you! You'll pay for your own appointment up front and then we will give you a superbill so your insurance can reimburse you. A prenatal consult is $175 for an in person appointment and $150 for a virtual appointment. Your visit also includes 2 weeks of follow up support via secured messaging for any questions you forgot to ask while still pregnant.
