Lactation Visits are from 1 to 3 hours for the initial visit depending on the circumstance. We work closely with you and your baby in helping you become as successful as possible in breastfeeding. We do an initial weight check on your newborn and follow up with your pediatrician as often as needed.
Most insurances will cover lactation consultation visits. Please check with your provider. If you are being referred by a Doctor please bring your referral slip or we can provide one.
Don't hesitate to call our counselors and consultants anytime. No question is ever refused! 860-889-bebe 24/7 Breastfeeding Warmline.
