Planning a Visit

What to expect and billing options

Every visit together is tailored to your individual needs, since everyone’s breastfeeding and baby journey is different! I will want to address your primary concerns and answer any questions you have. Since it helps me understand the whole picture, I will ask lots of questions about your health history, your baby’s health, your birth story, what feeding looks like right now, and if we’re in person give hands-on help. With your permission, I can also assess your breast/chest anatomy and do an oral function evaluation for your baby.

Together, we’ll come up with a feeding plan to help you feel comfortable and confident!

Common concerns we can address:

  • latching & positioning

  • weight check and milk transfer evaluation

  • low milk supply or managing oversupply

  • engorgement, plugged ducts, mastitis

  • oral function assessment for baby including observations about tongue and lip ties and body tension

  • pumping help including flange sizing

  • bottle feeding support

  • customized prenatal lactation class

  • prenatal colostrum collection guidance

  • returning to work

  • weaning

  • normal newborn behavior questions and help with things like soothing, gas and burp techniques, swaddling.

  • special circumstances (tandem nursing, sensory issues, twins)

I have several options to help get your visit covered by insurance. Please be aware that some companies do not cover in-home or telehealth visits. I do have an option to see you in-clinic if you are able to travel to Bellevue, WA.

If you need to self-pay, I can create a superbill for you to submit for reimbursement.

If you are uninsured or on an Apple Health/Medicaid plan, please reach out. I can either do a sliding scale for home visits or may be able to bill your insurance if you are seen in-clinic.
