frequently asked questions

What is an IBCLC?

IBCLC’s (International Board Certified Lactation Consultants) are certified healthcare professionals trained in the clinical management of breastfeeding.

I provide mothers and healthcare professionals with evidence-based education on breastfeeding and lactation. I’ll help you reach your personal lactation goal, and assist you with issues including low milk supply and pain as a response to pumping. 

My breastfeeding issues seem unsolvable, how can you help?

I have been assisting mothers and babies with breastfeeding for years. I have seen many complicated issues and have helped many families overcome them. I have experience in multi-faceted breastfeeding matters. However, if I am unable to help you, I will be able to steer you in the right direction for further specialty care if I think it is appropriate.

Do You Accept Insurance?

Under the Affordable Care Act, many insurance companies are required to cover preventative lactation services without any additional costs or copays. All of the visits are eligible through your insurance and/or through your health savings account or flexible spending account. At this time, I am not an in-network provider with any insurance company. However, I do work with The Lactation Network for coverage of some insurance plans. Click here to see if you qualify. If your insurance does not participate with The Lactation Network, at the end of our visit I will provide you with a superbill to make getting reimbursed from your insurance as easy as possible. Please contact me if you have any additional questions about insurance coverage or superbills.

Will You Wear a Mask at our Visit?

I absolutely will be wearing a mask at our in-home visit. I take the healthcare of my clients and their families very seriously. I have been fully vaccinated. All of my equipment and anything brought into your home will be completely sanitized from any previous visits to other homes. I practice universal precautions and wear gloves while touching you and your baby. If you have any concerns about Covid, please contact me prior to our meeting.

Mini Consult

Mini Consult

Do you have a few questions about your baby and breastfeeding that don’t necessarily warrant a full 60-90 minute consultation? For those small issues or quick questions you may have, I offer a “mini-consult”. This 30 minute or less consult, I can answer any questions you may have about any topic that pertains to breastfeeding, pumping, back to work issues, weaning, etc. We can either chat by phone or virtually on your computer. If your issue is more complicated than a phone call and further evaluation is necessary, I will suggest we schedule a longer consultation. This mini-consult is for parents with questions that do not require a full assessment, but would like professional advice and assistance with breastfeeding.

Working with Dee was a wonderful experience. I had a scheduled c section, so I set up an appointment with Dee 2 days after I returned home from the hospital and I’m so happy I did. She came to our house and worked with us in our own environment, providing solutions and help when we needed it most. We had several problems, including a tongue tie. I truly believe Dee’s expertise and experience saved our breastfeeding journeyREAD MORE

The connection I had with Ms. Dee was beautiful. She was very patient and was just as excited as I was starting my Breastfeeding Journey. I never felt uncomfortable. She was always positive and made me feel good about every situation that came my way.  She was the only person who kept me in good spirits when everyone else told me to give up…READ MORE

Words cannot begin to express how grateful I am for Dee. As a new mom, trying to figure out the mechanics of breastfeeding while watching my baby cry from hunger and continue to drop weight was not something I was prepared for. Dee was always accommodating to my needs and the needs of my newborn and if one technique did not work she knew exactly what to do next. She always made my son and me feel like we were a priority…READ MORE

Sheila Coleman

Dee, where do I begin? She is a superhero in our family! I met Dee when taking the breastfeeding class offered at the local hospital in 2018. I knew breastfeeding was something I was going to do, but I was leery of the process. Right away after delivery Dee was gently by my side coaching me on how to latch our tiny girl. I gained so much confidence with nursing my 5 lb 5 oz newborn. Nursing a tiny baby with low weight takes consistency…READ MORE

I’m super thankful for Dee as she is a very essential part of my breastfeeding journey. After having an unplanned c-section and a traumatic birth experience, I was super worried about breastfeeding my little one as my milk has been very slow to come in. Dee provides very clear, concise, and thoughtful care that will cater towards you, your baby, and any unique situation that you may have. I left the hospital with thoughts of giving up but because of Dee, I am committed to making progress and continuing my breastfeeding journeyREAD MORE

Melita Thompson

Dee was very helpful and professional. She listened to and answered all of my and my husband’s questions with patience and attentiveness. Dee made me feel much more secure in my ability to nurture my daughter. The care plan she provided for us was very thorough and specific. I appreciate her compassion. Her expertise is a great value to nursing moms and their partners. I would highly recommend Dee to anyone needing professional assistance. READ MORE

Danielle Djuric

I was an older mom who had my first daughter via IVF, so my doctor wasn’t sure I would be able to produce enough milk. She was born prematurely and was in the NICU for ten days. She was bottle-fed in the NICU while I pumped what I could so she had a hard time latching. Her doctors encouraged me to switch to formula exclusively but I was determined to breastfeed as much as I could…READ MORE

It’s 3 AM, and I’m rocking my beautiful baby girl in AGONY, sobbing, because I am in so much pain and she’s hungry! I feel like an absolute failure and worried I won’t be able to continue my breastfeeding journey with my first baby who is less than a week old. I am googling Lactation Consultants, and I come across Dee. I read some reviews and sent her a message immediately begging for her to come over and help me ASAP! I saw her schedule was booked till the following week but I couldn’t take it any longer!!! Dee squeezed me in and drove straight to my house a couple days later, giving me tips on how to survive the 2 daysREAD MORE

I had my daughter in June 2020. Here we are 18 months later and still breastfeeding! It all started with Dee taking the time to help me learn to help my daughter latch and always reminding me I was producing enough for her. Dee is so patient and was always willing to answer my questions. I’m so thankful for her help in those first few weeks, from help in the hospital to weighted feeds to several phone consults. If it weren’t for her I probably would have quit in those first few days, but her support helped me persevere and I’m so thankful I did. READ MORE

Vanessa Ludwig

I first met Dee when she worked at a small-town hospital where I delivered my first child. I was very worried about nursing and when people asked me if I planned on nursing I would always give an unsure, “I’m going to try.” In my mind, nursing was something only a few people’s bodies were capable of doing and I wasn’t sure I was going to be the lucky few. I had heard other people share their experiences and when I heard most bottle-fed their babies…READ MORE
