Frequently asked questions

  • What happens during an in-person lactation visit?

    During an in-home breastfeeding consultation, I will:

    Assess both you and your baby

    Observe a feeding and check for latch or milk transfer issues

    Perform a weighted feed when possible to measure milk intake

    Provide a personalized care plan tailored to your needs

    After the visit, notes are sent to your healthcare providers to ensure coordinated care.

  • What happens in a virtual consult?

    Our virtual lactation consultations use a HIPAA-compliant video platform. During the session, I will:

    Assess latch and positioning as best as possible

    Answer follow-up questions about breastfeeding, returning to work, weaning, or starting solids

    Provide a personalized care plan

    Send notes to your healthcare providers for coordinated care

    Note: Weighted feeds cannot be performed virtually, and virtual visits are best for follow-ups rather than hands-on latch issues. Available to parents throughout Colorado.

  • How long does a consultation last?

    Most visits last 60–90 minutes, depending on the complexity of your concerns.

  • Where do consultations take place?

    In-home visits: Erie, CO and surrounding areas within a one-hour drive (travel fees may apply)

    Virtual visits: Available to anyone in Colorado via telehealth

  • Do you work with insurance?

    Yes! I work with these insurance plans:

    Aetna

    United Healthcare

    CIGNA

    Medicaid

    If you do not have one of these plans, cash-pay options are available. A superbill can be provided for possible reimbursement.

  • Will there be any out of pocket costs?

    Most insurance plans cover lactation consultations at no cost. If covered, your only expense may be a travel fee for in-home visits.
