Lactation Consultations
We are DIRECTLY in-network with Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, UMR & Oxford commercial plans. BCBS will reimburse visits with us and may offer direct coverage in some cases.
We can help with many aspects of breastfeeding medicine and lactation, including painful latching, bottle preference or refusal, slow weight gain, multiples, back-to-work, and integrating solids. Our additional training and experience allow us to diagnose tethered oral tissue, guide oral habilitation, offer integrated bodywork, and order labs, medication, and imaging if needed.

Office Visits
Office visits take place in our beautiful space located in Edison, NJ which is convenient to much of Central NJ & Staten Island, NY. We are minutes off the Garden State Turnpike and Route 1. We are located close to the Edison train station as well. We will communicate with your OB and pediatrician for continuity of care.
Pump Rental
Ameda Elite: hospital grade pump: $25/week, $80/month, attachments will be provided but sold separately ($50)
Prenatal Prep
We offer one-on-one consults to help you prepare for an optimal feeding experience with your newborn. Different than the online group classes offered by pump distribution companies, we meet with just you and your support person and review your specific medical history to plan for the best possible outcome. We suggest that you schedule these consults around 34 weeks gestation.
Bottle Refusal
You've got breastfeeding down but baby won't take a bottle? We can help with that too! Give us a call before you buy yet another bottle.
Tethered Oral Tissue
If you are struggling with a painful latch, chances are that someone has told you to have the baby checked for "ties". Online research on tongue ties can be overwhelming and confusing. We can do a functional assessment and identify tethered oral tissue in babies (& toddlers) whether nursing or bottle-feeding. We understand the oral motor and bodywork needed when there are restrictions and how to best prepare for a frenectomy. We assist with aftercare and some of our consultants have advanced training in oral habilitation. We also know that many times, TOTs are not the culprit!
Starting Solids~
Back to Work
Baby about to start solids and need more guidance on how to begin? We offer an hour-long personalized class that goes beyond what you may learn at your baby's well visits! We also help with back-to-work planning and often combine the 2 services.
