Breastfeed Atlanta
Whatever feeding looks like for your family, our clinical team is here to help you navigate it with real, hands-on support.
About Breastfeed Atlanta
We support every feeding journey, whatever it looks like for you. Our team brings together IBCLCs and nurse practitioner IBCLCs, with clinical oversight from a board-certified lactation medicine physician (NABBLM-C). As metro Atlanta's multi-specialty lactation practice, we provide thoughtful, evidence-based care that meets you where you are.
IBCLCs and nurse practitioner IBCLCs work together, with oversight from a board-certified lactation medicine physician (NABBLM-C). We evaluate, treat, and prescribe when it is clinically appropriate, rather than sending you elsewhere.
Nursing, pumping, combo feeding, or still figuring it out, we meet you where you are. From prenatal classes and your first consultation to back-to-work pumping plans, we are with you every step.
We are in network with all major commercial plans and every Georgia Medicaid CMO. Our in-house billing team verifies your benefits before your first visit, so most families pay little to nothing out of pocket, depending on their plan.
Before baby arrives
There is a lot you can put in place before your baby arrives, and getting ahead of it makes those first days feel less daunting. Our prenatal lactation consultations and prenatal breastfeeding class walk you through latch, what to expect in the early weeks, how to know your baby is getting enough, and how to head off the most common challenges.
We will also help you understand the role of a breast pump and use your insurance benefits to order one ahead of time. Prenatal care is offered in office or virtually, and is covered by most insurance plans.
Prenatal Services
Lactation visits
Whether you see us for an in-office visit, a virtual visit, or an in-home visit, you will receive care from our team of IBCLCs and nurse practitioner IBCLCs. Thoughtful, evidence-based care personalized to your needs and your baby's, with the same clinical depth across every visit type.
From the first latch to your last pump, we guide you with kindness, expertise, and clinical support every step of the way.

Classes & community
Happily Baby After is our weekly class series for new parents, covering latch, milk supply, pumping and returning to work, and learning to read your baby's cues. Centering Motherhood is an ongoing support group, scheduled with our team, that blends clinical guidance with real peer connection.
Led by IBCLCs and pediatric nurse practitioners, these shared visits are where you learn from experts and from each other, gaining confidence, asking questions, and building bonds with parents who are right there with you. Both are covered by most major insurance plans and every Georgia Medicaid CMO.
Groups and Classes
Pumps & equipment
From expert education to trusted equipment, we have what you need to feel confident on your pumping journey. Our IBCLCs help you choose an effective, comfortable pump for your body, your lifestyle, and your goals, whether that is an insurance-covered personal pump, a hospital-grade rental, or an upgrade that simply works better for you.
We rent hospital-grade pumps from Medela (Symphony), Ameda (Platinum), and Zomee, and offer personalized pump education in office or virtually. Pick up your pump in office, have it shipped, or schedule in-home delivery.
Pumping Support
Pump parts, handled
MilkCrate is Breastfeed Atlanta's personalized pump accessory program, designed to bring nursing and pumping parents exactly what they need, right when they need it. Each shipment is curated by our IBCLCs to match your pump, your routine, and your goals, with the flanges, valves, tubing, and replacement parts that keep you pumping comfortably.
Best of all, MilkCrate is covered by most major insurance plans, so you can focus on feeding your baby, not managing the details. Let us handle the parts. You've got the heart.
Sign up for MilkCrateWhat We Help With
Breastfeed Atlanta evaluates and treats the full range of feeding challenges, from low milk supply and painful latch to mastitis, tongue tie, slow weight gain, and pumping problems. As a multi-specialty practice with nurse practitioners who can prescribe, we treat the cause, not just the symptom, and coordinate care beyond our scope when it is needed.
We look for why supply is low, from latch and feeding frequency to medical causes like insulin resistance, and build a plan around your goals.
Too much milk, painful fullness, or forceful letdown. We help you bring supply into balance and ease the discomfort safely.
Pain means something needs adjusting, not something to push through. We assess the latch, find the cause, and treat what we find.
Treated in office with the right tools, including antibiotics when they are needed and therapeutic ultrasound, so you are not routed to urgent care.
Often blamed on "thrush," lingering pain is usually something else: dermatitis, a milk bleb, vasospasm, or subacute mastitis. We pinpoint the real cause and treat it.
We assess whether tongue or lip anatomy is affecting the latch, coordinate a release with a specialist when it is warranted, and support feeding afterward.
When baby is not gaining as expected, we look at milk transfer, supply, and feeding patterns together, and coordinate with your pediatrician when needed.
The wrong flange size and pump settings cause most pumping pain and low output. We measure your fit and build a routine that works for your day.
Not sure which one fits? Book a visit and we will sort it out together.

What Families Say
These are real reviews from real families we've cared for. Some in office, some at home, some over video. They're here because each one says something specific about how we work.
I was a new mama with a preemie baby who couldn't latch for 6 weeks. Daniella and the team walked with me every step of the way, from pumping, to learning how to help my baby latch, to supply issues, to pain. All the things. Now my baby is a happy breastfed boy who is growing well.
Daniella is truly amazing. The adjustments are small but profound, that's real expertise. And for anyone with Aetna using Aeroflow: Aetna does NOT tell you that an Aeroflow postpartum class counts as one of your covered lactation visits. Shoutout to Jessica in billing who caught that for me.
Beth Myler worked with me to provide mental health support around breastfeeding and overall postpartum wellness. She talked through my mental health history and made sure I had every resource I needed. I cannot recommend her enough for anyone postpartum.
The first week was such a struggle. The team here helped create a clear, personalized plan that not only improved breastfeeding, it saved my sanity. We live a bit farther south, but it's absolutely worth the drive. Even better, during the first couple of weeks they can come to your home. Judith, Daniella, and Erica at MilkCrate were all so hands-on and kind.
I've been pumping for my NICU baby for 5 weeks and had pain I didn't even realize while pumping. I saw 5 lactation consultants before them, and this office is the only one that measured me. I've done 6 pumps since my appointment and I'm already in a lot less pain.
My son had tongue and lip ties and a really clampy latch. I cried in Breastfeed Atlanta's office more than once. They always met me with the perfect blend of compassion and practical advice. Without their support, I would have given up at 4 weeks. Instead I was able to breastfeed for 18 months, including pumping during my workday for 14 months.

Answers to the questions families ask us most, from insurance and referrals to what we treat.
Most commercial insurance plans cover lactation visits at 100 percent with no copay or deductible. We're in-network with Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, UMR, Humana, and Ambetter. Lactation services are billed directly to your insurance by our in-house billing team, so most families pay nothing out of pocket. We verify your benefits before your first visit so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes. Breastfeed Atlanta is in-network with every Georgia Medicaid CMO, including Amerigroup, CareSource, Peach State, and Molina. Lactation visits, classes, and services are covered with no copay, no balance billing, and no surprise fees for our Medicaid patients.
No. You can book directly with us. After your visit, we send a clinical note to your pediatrician and OB so everyone stays informed about your care.
Yes. Breastfeed Atlanta offers in-home lactation consultant visits across metro Atlanta with no travel surcharge. Your insurance covers the in-home lactation consultation the same as an office visit. We come to your home so you can focus on feeding your baby in the space where you'll actually be doing it.
Yes. Our virtual lactation consultations are available with the same clinical team, often same-day. Also called telehealth lactation visits, they're well-suited for follow-ups, supply concerns, pumping questions, and anything where a visual exam isn't required. Virtual visits are covered by insurance the same as office visits.
Most lactation practices are consultant-only. They can identify clinical issues but refer out for treatment. Breastfeed Atlanta is a multi-specialty practice where most of our nurse practitioners are dual-credentialed as both NPs and IBCLCs, with clinical oversight from a board-certified lactation medicine physician (NABBLM-C). Our team can evaluate, treat, prescribe when appropriate, and follow up under one roof, including mastitis management, tongue tie evaluation, supply issues that need clinical intervention, and perinatal mental health support. This is different from working with a single lactation consultant.
Yes. Our patient-facing team includes IBCLCs and nurse practitioner IBCLCs who evaluate and document tongue tie, coordinate a release with the right pediatric provider, and then provide the post-release feeding rehabilitation that determines whether the release actually solved the problem. Complex cases benefit from consultation with our Medical Director, who is board certified in Breastfeeding and Lactation Medicine (NABBLM-C).
Our clinical team treats a wide range of breastfeeding and lactation issues including low milk supply, mastitis, clogged ducts, engorgement, sore or cracked nipples, thrush, vasospasm, oversupply, latch problems, tongue tie, and complications related to pumping. We also support adoptive parents through induced lactation, NICU graduate families, and parents returning to work with pumping plans. If you're not sure whether we can help with your specific situation, call us at (404) 454-9715 to discuss.
For most lactation concerns, we can usually schedule a consultation within a few days. For urgent issues like mastitis, severe latch pain, or sudden supply changes, we work to find the next available appointment as quickly as possible. Call us at (404) 454-9715 to discuss timing for your specific situation.
A lactation specialist is a clinical professional with advanced training in lactation care, including International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs), nurse practitioners with lactation expertise, and physicians specializing in lactation medicine. At Breastfeed Atlanta, most of our patient-facing nurse practitioners are dual-credentialed as both NPs and IBCLCs. Our Medical Director, Dr. Hiral Lavania, is one of only a few physicians in Georgia board certified in Breastfeeding and Lactation Medicine (NABBLM-C). The breadth of credentials lets us match clinical depth to the complexity of your situation.
For most patients, lactation consultations at Breastfeed Atlanta are covered by insurance with no out-of-pocket cost. We're in-network with all major commercial insurance plans (Aetna, Anthem BCBS, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, UMR, Humana, Ambetter) and every Georgia Medicaid CMO. Our in-house billing team verifies your benefits before your first visit so you know exactly what to expect. For families without insurance, we can discuss self-pay options during scheduling.
A prenatal lactation consultation prepares you for breastfeeding before your baby arrives. During the visit, your IBCLC or nurse practitioner reviews your medical and breastfeeding history, discusses your goals, examines for any anatomical concerns (like flat or inverted nipples), reviews positioning techniques, and creates a plan for the first weeks postpartum. Prenatal lactation consultations are typically covered by insurance.
