Private Consulting
Beyond the Latch is In-Network with Aetna and Tricare!
Prenatal consults help you to prepare for your baby's arrival. This is a great choice if you are unable to attend a Breastfeeding group class, have special circumstances such as expecting multiples, or are a first time (breastfeeding) parent. We will talk about relevant medical history, your breastfeeding goals, what to expect, how to prepare, and your birth plan. Visits are $125 for approximately 1 hour and can be done virtually or in your home.
An initial consult usually occurs within a week of baby's arrival to help mom and baby get breastfeeding off to a great start. Initial consults will involve discussion of relevant medical history, your breastfeeding goals, your birth experience, a breast exam, infant oral exam, observation of breastfeeding, and assistance with positioning and latch. Visits are $175 for up to 2 hours and are done in the comfort of your own home.
Any consultation after the initial consult is considered a follow up and will focus on continued support for improved breastfeeding. Established clients can also book a follow up appointment for crisis management when experiencing issues such as plugged ducts, mastitis, nursing strikes, or improving milk supply. Visits are $125 for up to 1.5 hours.
Virtual consults are available for any visit type, and are ideal for prenatal visits, some follow up visits, and when you have in-depth or multiple questions. Common topics include pumping, storing breast milk safely, and increasing milk supply. These visits are $125 for 1 hour and use the HIPPA compliant doxy.me platform. Unfortunately, virtual consults for lactation are often not covered under the ACA, however, some plans are allowing it due to the COVID-19 pandemic and health savings accounts can be used for these services.
Beyond the Latch is based in Virginia Beach, VA serving the cities of Virginia Beach, Norfolk and Chesapeake. If you are outside of this range I may still be able to see you for an additional fee, possibly offer a virtual consult, or I can refer you to an IBCLC in your area.
