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.

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.
