Breastfeeding Services

Planning to breastfeed and want to get off to the best possible start? A prenatal breastfeeding consultation is an excellent way to prepare—especially if you’ve experienced challenges with breastfeeding in the past, or simply want to feel confident and informed before baby arrives.

Prenatal Lactation Consult – $225
(Available virtually or in-office | 1 - 1.5 hours)

Your personalized prenatal visit includes:

A full maternal health history and feeding goals

Tailored prenatal breastfeeding education based on your unique needs and concerns

Topics may include: what to expect in the first hours and days, how to initiate breastfeeding, what’s normal vs. when to seek help, milk supply basics, and preparing to pump (if needed)

A written plan to follow during your birth and immediate postpartum period

This is a supportive, judgment-free space to ask questions, talk through previous experiences, and get clear, evidence-based guidance before your baby arrives.

Cancellation Policy:
Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice are subject to a $50 fee. This fee is not covered by insurance. It will be charged to the credit card on file, or an online invoice will be sent for payment.
