Breastfeeding & Lactation Services
Breastfeeding is a natural way to nourish our babies from birth to beyond 1 year of age but sometimes it does not always feel natural. Learning how to breastfeed and provide breastmilk throughout your breastfeeding journey can be overwhelming especially in the early days. Seeking help from an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) can help overcome barriers throughout your breastfeeding journey. New or experienced mothers may need help as every baby and breastfeeding journey is different. Hiring an IBCLC can help you with anything related to breastfeeding, pumping, or bottle feeding to allow your baby to be nourished by you throughout their first couple years of life.
Our Services
-
Visits can be located at my location or yours. These visits are at least a hour long and may be longer depending on the services needed. Services that may be included depending on you and your babies needs are weight checks, latching assistance, pumping help, flange fitting, under or over supply, breast issues (sore nipples, engorgement, mastitis, clogged ducts, ect), supplementation guidance, returning to work/school, and weaning.
-
Pumping is apart of 90% of breastfeeding mothers journeys. Weather that is being a stay at home mom simply needing some milk for when you have a girls night out or if you are a working mother and needing to have milk for the babysitter to feed your little one while your away. Having the proper flange size is key in adequate removal of milk and preventing a decrease in supply, clog ducts, mastitis, and more. This appointment takes 15-30 minutes and I will make sure you properly know how to work your pump as well. This can be at your location or mine.
-
A weight check is free of charge. If a more extensive appointment is needed, a separate time may need to be scheduled and fees will apply. You can obtain a weight check for follow up from a prior lactation visit or to see how baby is growing.
-
Just have a simple question or wanting to know if you need an appointment to better assist you and your baby in whatever you are dealing with? Call or text your question! I can give you simple advise to help resolve your issue and let you know if an in person consult would be best.

Preparing for breastfeeding can help you feel more confident and supported as you begin your breastfeeding journey. I’m proud to recommend Mighty Milk’s breastfeeding courses, which provide practical, evidence-based education you can complete from the comfort of home and at your own pace. You can choose the Expectant Parents Class, the Breastfeeding Your Baby Class for the newborn period, or the Breastfeeding Bundle, which includes both classes. I recommend the bundle for the most complete preparation and support; however, you can also start with the Expectant Parents Class during pregnancy and move on to the Breastfeeding Your Baby Class once your baby arrives.

Payment & Insurance
Beautiful Beginnings Motherhood Co LLC is a self-pay (private pay) practice and does not bill insurance. Payment is due at the time of service.
Operating as a self-pay practice allows me to provide individualized, evidence-based lactation care without the limitations often imposed by insurance companies. Many families find self-pay lactation care is comparable to—or less than—their out-of-pocket insurance costs once deductibles and co-pays are considered.
While I do not submit insurance claims, a superbill can be provided upon request for families who wish to seek reimbursement.
Products:
There are so many breastfeeding products available, and it can be hard to know what you truly need. I can provide links to products I recommend. Another great resource is Lactation Hub, which offers trusted breastfeeding and lactation products through the link provided. If you have questions about breastfeeding products, pumping supplies, or milk supply support, please feel free to contact me—I’m always happy to help.
