How it works

Getting help with feeding should be the easy part.

Here’s what to expect, from your first contact with us through follow‑up care.

  1. Book online

    Request a visit through our online scheduler. We see mothers and lactating parents across Sandy Springs, Roswell, and the surrounding metro Atlanta area, often on short notice when a problem can’t wait.

  2. We verify your coverage

    Before your visit, we check your benefits so you know where you stand. Breastfeed Atlanta works with most health insurance and Georgia Medicaid CMOs, and most families have minimal out‑of‑pocket cost depending on health coverage.

  3. Your visit

    You meet with your provider from our collaborative team of IBCLCs and nurse practitioners, who takes a full feeding history, watches a feeding, and builds a plan you can use at home.

  4. Ongoing support

    Feeding challenges rarely resolve in one conversation, so we stay with you. You leave with a clear plan and follow‑up as needed, plus a team that knows your history between visits.

About Breastfeed Atlanta

A multi‑specialty team, all in one place.

Breastfeed Atlanta is a multi‑specialty lactation practice serving metro Atlanta. Our collaborative team of IBCLCs and nurse practitioners works under the guidance of two physician medical directors, including a board‑certified lactation medicine physician (NABBLM‑C). That range is what lets us evaluate, treat, and prescribe when it’s clinically appropriate, so more of your care stays in one place. Nursing, pumping, combo feeding, or still figuring it out. We meet you where you are.

Before baby arrives

Start 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.

Lactation visits

Support that meets you where you are

See us for an in-office visit or a virtual visit, and you will receive care from our collaborative team of IBCLCs and nurse practitioners. In-home visits are available on a limited basis within our coverage area. Every visit is thoughtful, evidence-based, and personalized to your needs and your baby’s.

From the first latch to your last pump, we support you with expertise and genuine care.

Classes & community

More than a class. It’s a 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 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. Most are covered by insurance.

Pumps & equipment

Breast pumps and support, all under one roof

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.

What families say

In their own words.

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.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions families ask us most, from insurance and referrals to what we treat.

Is a lactation consultation covered by insurance?
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.
Does Medicaid cover lactation consultant visits at Breastfeed Atlanta?
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.
Do I need a referral from my pediatrician or OB?
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.
Do you offer in-home lactation consultant visits?
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.
Do you offer virtual lactation consultations?
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.
What makes Breastfeed Atlanta different from a typical lactation consultant?
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.
Can you help with tongue tie?
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).
What conditions does Breastfeed Atlanta treat?
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.
How quickly can I get a lactation consultation?
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.
What is a lactation specialist?
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.
How much does a lactation consultation cost?
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.
What does a prenatal lactation consultation include?
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.
