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.

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.

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 MilkCrateLactation isn't always straightforward. When something goes wrong, you want a clinical team that can identify what's happening and actually treat it, not just refer you elsewhere. Our team evaluates and treats the full range of breastfeeding and lactation conditions, from common challenges to complex clinical cases that need prescribing nurse practitioners or physician input.
Low Milk Supply Many low supply cases have a clear cause and a workable solution. Our team evaluates milk transfer, breast anatomy, pump fit, and underlying medical issues to identify the root cause, then builds a plan with you that may include feeding adjustments, pumping strategies, further testing and/or coordination with your other providers.
Mastitis Mastitis needs real clinical attention. Our nurse practitioners evaluate, diagnose, and treat mastitis directly, with antibiotics, therapeutic breast ultrasound, and other treatments as clinically appropriate. No referral to urgent care or another provider needed.
Clogged Ducts and Plugged Ducts Recurrent clogged ducts often point to an underlying cause. We help you resolve current clogs and identify why they keep happening.
Engorgement Severe engorgement in the early weeks can derail breastfeeding. We help you manage it safely while protecting your milk supply.
Sore or Cracked Nipples Pain while breastfeeding is not normal. We evaluate latch, position, and underlying causes including infection, vasospasm, and skin conditions.
Tongue Tie and Lip Tie Our clinical team evaluates tongue tie, documents findings, coordinates a release when indicated, and provides the post-release feeding rehabilitation that determines whether the release actually worked.
Latch Problems A painful or ineffective latch usually has a specific, identifiable cause. We watch your baby feed, evaluate what's happening, and build a plan to address it.
Low Infant Weight Gain When baby isn't gaining as expected, we evaluate feeding effectiveness, breast anatomy, infant anatomy, and underlying medical issues to find the actual cause.
Vasospasm and Raynaud's of the Nipple A specific cause of nipple pain that's often missed by other providers. Our team recognizes and treats it.
Oversupply and Forceful Letdown Too much milk is its own clinical problem. We help families reduce supply safely and resolve the feeding difficulties oversupply creates.
Pumping Pain and Output Concerns Pain or dropping output while pumping is often a flange fit issue, but can also signal a clinical condition. We evaluate both.

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."
Tiana P.
"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."
Jordan B.
"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."
Morgan R.
"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."
Alicia A.
"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."
Malka G.
"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."
Alicia H.

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.

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.
