LACTATION SERVICES OVERVIEW
The lactation team at Mamatoto Village can help you to resolve breastfeeding challenges and increase your confidence. We offer private office and home consultations with either a Certified Lactation Specialist, or an IBCLC depending on the severity of the situation. In home support can be beneficial in addressing more immediate and pressing lactation concerns. Parents who will be receiving their child through adoption, surrogacy, or a partner who is birthing can still have a breastfeeding relationship and we can offer guidance in this area as well. Our lactation team can assist with a variety of concerns to include:

Current Fees (prepaid in advance): Initial Visit: $175; Follow-up visits: $150. ***Phone follow-up questions included w/consult for 2-weeks.

(We recommend that you call your health plan to find out information about whether you are covered for lactation consultation services.) FSA and HSA are accepted. AmeriHealth, CareFirst Community Health Plan DC, and HSCSN members are covered 100% until 12 weeks postpartum. Bring your insurance card to your visit.
