What Your Lactation Consultation Looks Like
A simple, supportive process built around you, your baby, and your feeding goals.
Before Your Consultation
Tell us about your feeding concerns, your baby's history, and your goals. We'll help you choose the right lactation consultation and verify your insurance when applicable.
During Your Consultation
Your IBCLC will look at you, your baby, and your feeding experience together. Depending on your needs, your consultation may include assessment of latch, milk transfer, pumping, oral function, or bottle feeding.
After Your Consultation
You'll leave with a personalized care plan, practical recommendations, and guidance on what to do next. Follow-up lactation support is available when you need it.
From our Duluth office to home visits throughout Gwinnett County and virtual consultations, our IBCLCs provide personalized breastfeeding, pumping, and bottle-feeding consultations and support based on your family's individual needs.
We work with families using insurance and self-pay. Coverage varies by plan and service, and we'll help you understand your options before your visit.
Breastfeeding, Pumping & Feeding Support Built Around Your Family
Feeding a baby doesn't always go the way you expected. Whether you're struggling with breastfeeding, trying to make pumping work, introducing a bottle, looking for donor milk, or simply wondering if what you're experiencing is normal, you don't have to figure it out alone.
Is this something a lactation consultant can help with?

Lactation Care Is Personal. Your Support Should Be Too.
Feeding your baby can be deeply personal, and asking for help can feel vulnerable. You deserve care that considers your goals, your baby, your health, and your everyday life.
Led by Stacy-Ann Louie, IBCLC, the Gwinnett Breastfeeding team supports families navigating breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, and the many questions that come with feeding a baby.
Our goal isn't to tell you what your feeding journey should look like. It's to help you understand what's happening, build confidence, and make informed decisions that work for your family.
