• The initial consult includes a comprehensive history & oral exam, assistance with latch, pre & post weights, lactation management guidelines, written care plan that is also sent to the pediatrician, and referrals, if necessary.
• Please bring a hungry baby to the consult, but not a ravenous one, along with any tools you are using, such as nipple shields, pump, bottle supplements, etc.
• Please complete & submit the following forms at least 24 hours prior to the appointment. Links open in new tabs. (Demographic/Insurance, Maternal Intake, Baby’s Intake)
• Please read, print & sign the consent form to be either scanned & submitted or brought to your appointment. (Consent Form)
• Note that there will be an additional charge for twins or multiples due to the extended amount of time required.

The Initial & Follow-up Lactation Consults require a 50% deposit to book. If your health plan is with Aetna, Tricare East, IBX or AmeriHealth, this deposit will either be refunded, reimbursed or applied towards your cost sharing, depending on your plan, once the professional claim is processed. Otherwise, the balance will be paid in full at time of consult for self-pay.
