Breastfeeding Consultation

We are proud to be part of The Lactation Network. The Lactation Network helps clients verify insurance coverage and schedule up to 6 lactation visits at no cost to you.  These 6 visits can include our Breastfeeding Beginnings Classes or a prenatal lactation consultation, an initial consultation once baby is born and up to 4 follow-up visits.

Work with our International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (Michele Hojkacki RN, IBCLC with 20+ years experience) on latch problems, milk supply issues, or learning how to use your breast pump, pump flange fittings or other basic lactation issues. Michele can also work with you  and your baby on more complicated issues such a getting NICU babies to latch, tongue ties and more.
