Our team of International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) is here to provide comprehensive support regardless of your current breastfeeding status or feeding choices. Whether you have simple questions or complex issues, we have the experience to help you. No request is too big or too small, so please do not hesitate to contact us.
Our one-on-one consultations are tailored to your unique needs and goals. During an average hour-long consultation, we focus on providing personalized care and guidance to help you succeed. By the end of the session, you'll have a clear plan to help you reach your breastfeeding goals.
Most insurance plans cover our lactation services, so you may not have to pay anything out of pocket. We accept most insurance providers, including Medicaid, and we can help you navigate your coverage. Visit our insurance and billing page for more information.
At our lactation consults, we provide expert support to help families overcome common breastfeeding challenges. Our services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each family, and we offer a range of options to ensure that you receive the support you need.
When might you need our lactation consult services? Our IBCLCs are here to help in the following situations:
If you're feeling unsure or uneasy about breastfeeding
If your infant is having trouble latching on
If you have concerns about your milk supply, whether it's too little or too much
If you're experiencing pain while breastfeeding
If your baby is experiencing slow or low weight gain
If you've been told you may need to supplement with formula
If you've received conflicting advice about breastfeeding and need guidance
What can you expect when you work with us? Our experienced and compassionate International Board Certified Lactation Consultants will meet with you either in your home or in our office. During the consultation, we will take a thorough history and perform pre-and post-feed weight checks to measure the volume of milk your infant transfers. We will then provide you with accurate, evidence-based information and work with you to develop a customized plan for you and your baby.
At Breastfeed Atlanta, we believe that every family's feeding and parenting decisions should be supported unconditionally. That's why we provide ongoing support and encouragement after your consultation via email, phone calls, or follow-up visits.
Finally, we'll send a report of your consultation to your physician and/or midwife to ensure that your entire care team is up to date on your progress.
