In-Home Consultations
Take one thing off your plate and let me come to you.

Bottle Concern Consultation
$180 / 90 min
Feeding from the bottle is a skill that is learned - just like feeding at the breast / chest. If something is not quite right in the process then it can be stressful and confusing for both parents and babies.
There are a wide range of situations that qualify as legitimate bottle-feeding concerns. These may range from babies who are currently taking the bottle but are messy, noisy, and/or take a long time to finish; babies who are unhappily tolerating the bottle but are distressed and no one is having a fun time; and babies who flat our refuse to try the bottle at all or who have been struggling and are now experiencing full blown bottle aversion.
Solving these concerns means taking a close and informed look at what is going on, identifying factors that may be in your way, and having a detailed plan designed to help you move forward.
In this consult, bottle-feeding will be the sole focus. If you have concerns about breast/ chest-feeding, and/or pumping, then an additional consultation will be needed to cover those additional areas.

You will learn about techniques to make introducing the bottle a smooth and pleasant process for both yourself and your baby.
Flange fit Consultation
$30
Are you using the correct flange size? It can be tricky to tell.
Incorrect flange fit can lead to many issues including pain, nipple and breast trauma, blocked milk ducts, slow emptying, and even low milk supply.
Sit down with me over my secure, HIPAA complaint virtual platform and show me what you’ve got. Bring your pump, pump parts, and any flanges that you have and I will observe you pumping and make recommendations to dial in on ideal flange fit. It just takes 15 mins and can make a huge difference.
Payment is collected at the time of your consultation. Cash, credit card, HSA/FSA cards are accepted forms of payment. Following your consultation a ‘Superbill’ will be provided to you that may be used to seek reimbursement from your insurance company.
Thirty minutes of travel time is included in the fee for home visits. An additional flat rate of $25.00 will be charged for home visits exceeding thirty minutes of travel time.
Multiples? These visits take more time to provide comprehensive care individualized to each baby. To account for the longer visit time, each consultation has an additional fee of $60.
Do you have Aetna? My clients have had success getting preauthorization to use Milked Lactation Services, LLC for consultations.
