Seattle lactation support that feels calm, practical, and personalized.

Initial postpartum visits usually take 90 minutes to two hours. Please allow two hours so we have time to talk, look at feeding together and make a plan without feeling rushed. The booking calendar lists a 90-minute appointment.

We'll talk about how feeding has been going and what you'd like help with. Depending on your needs, we can look at a feed, your pumping setup or bottle-feeding together, with a weighted feed when appropriate. You'll have a personalized care plan and follow-up text support, so you have something practical to come back to after we meet.

An initial postpartum visit is a good place to start if we haven't met yet, whether you're breastfeeding, pumping, bottle-feeding or combining them. If we've already had a consultation and you'd like ongoing support, choose a follow-up visit. You don't need to have everything figured out before asking for help.

Milk Mavens is a private-pay practice, and HSA/FSA cards are accepted. I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance plan for potential reimbursement. Coverage varies, so check with your plan about your benefits before booking.

In-home visits let us look at feeding together in your own space in Seattle and nearby areas. Virtual visits give us time to work through feeding questions by video, wherever you are. If you're wondering which option would work best for what you're experiencing, text me before booking and we can talk it through.

It can help to jot down the questions you'd like us to talk about. If you want help with pumping or bottle-feeding, have the pump, flanges or bottles you're already using nearby so we can look at them together. You don't need to know what's causing the difficulty before we meet.
