What can you expect at your first appointment? I will come to your home at your convenience. I will examine and take a careful history of both you and your baby. I will observe a breastfeeding session and assist you with positioning if nessessary. I will address your concerns, offer solutions and a customized plan, and refer you for any additional help that I feel you may need. I am always happy to provide you with a receipt for services so you can submit it through your insurance for reimburssment or have it covered through your Flex spending account. All lactation clients are welcome to keep in contact with me via text and phone until you reach your breastfeeding goals. Appointments can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours. There is no need to hold off on feeding your baby, tidy your home, or even change out of your jammies to prepare for my arrival.
What does all this cost? All lactation appointments are $100. Within 1-2 weeks you will be given a receipt, with the appropriate codes, to turn in to your insurance company for reimburrsment.
