LACTATION HOME VISIT

I travel to where you are!  You can receive expert lactation services, information and support at home.

 A Lactation Home Visit is available throughout Camden County, St. Simon's, Jekyll Island, and Brunswick in Glynn County, Georgia and north Nassau County, Florida

A Lactation Home Visit offers the same in-depth care and expertise that you would receive in the office. During a home visit, I'll learn about your breastfeeding goals and any challenges and questions you may have.  A visit includes a review of your health history, pregnancy and delivery, an exam for you and your baby as needed, and observation and assessment of a feeding. We can weigh your baby to evaluate milk transfer and how your baby is growing.  Together we can develop a plan to help you reach your breastfeeding goals.

One of the best things about receiving lactation services at home is the ability for me to observe you and your baby in your familiar, comfortable environment so I can provide the most personalized insights and recommendations for your unique experience.

Health Insurance Coverage

Camden Lactation partners with The Lactation Network to bill insurance plans directly. Your  lactation  visit  can be  pre-approved  for  Blue Cross PPO, Blue Shield PPO, Anthem PPO,  Cigna PPO  and possibly  other  health  insurance  plans.  Pre-approved  visits  are  covered  at  100%  with no cost to you, and TLN  will bill your insurance  plan  directly.  Visit  TLN to request  pre-approval at the  button  below.

If you have a health insurance plan that is not in the network, you can contact your plan directly to find out what coverage you are entitled to. Most health insurance  plans cover lactation services as well as supplies. You will receive a super bill receipt of your lactation visit that you can file directly for reimbursement. The visit fee is due at time of service. We accept credit, HSA and FSA cards.

Years of experience as a Lactation Consultant helping mothers and babies with breastfeeding challenges enable me to provide knowledge and support in many areas. A few of the breastfeeding needs and concerns I can help you with are:

• Prenatal visit - learn about newborns, how breastfeeding works, ask questions and discuss goals and any concerns  
• Early postpartum visit - confirm breastfeeding is going well and address any challenges early 
• Feeding evaluation - latch, sucking skills, milk transfer, weight check  
• Milk supply concerns-low/overabundant 
• Healthy and safe sleep
• Colic/feeding intolerance
• Feeding challenges 
• Introducing a bottle
• Pumping/back to work
• Pain-identify and address cause of breast or nipple pain
• Breast and nipple care 
• Postpartum depression and blood pressure screening as indicated 
• At-risk mothers - chronic illness, breast/chest  abnormalities, breast augmentation/reduction   
• Breastfeeding multiples, preterm infants and with  infants with special needs 
• Relactation/adoptive and surrogate parents 
• Weaning

A lactation home visit is especially helpful for special circumstances such as breastfeeding multiples, NICU graduates, babies with special needs, and many other unique feeding challenges.    

If you are planning to return to work and breastfeed, I can help you develop a plan that will work for your situation. 

If your baby hasn't arrived yet, a prenatal consultation can answer any questions you may have. You will learn how to prepare for breastfeeding, and what to expect in the early days.
