Posted on Keyla AhowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I 100% recommend Simply Lactation! My nurse, Hilary, has been an absolute angel to our family. Thanks to her, we discovered that my baby wasn’t feeding properly, and she went above and beyond to help us through that difficult time. She’s always available to answer my questions and continues to provide incredible support and guidance through this challenging journey. I’m so grateful for Hilary and Simply Lactation — they have truly been a blessing in our lives!Posted on Elizabeth CypertTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hilary was such a blessing to me! As a first time mom Hilary would calm my nerves at each appointment. She was encouraging and worked with me to find a good latch for my daughter. She also helped me figure out pumping for my return to work! I could text her questions anytime. Having Hilary as a guiding light was a breath of relief! I’ll definitely use her again for baby #2.Posted on Lara Zacca SackllahTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Madeline was absolutely amazing. Extremely knowledgeable. Brought so much peace to the process and encouragement. Would recommend Simply Lactation to absolutely everybody.Posted on Andrea CherroniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Donique was extremely patient, knowledgeable and caring during our consult! She was able to answer all the questions my husband and I had in regards to breastfeeding and took her time covering everything from start to finish. I was so stressed and mentally overwhelmed with breast feeding in general prior to our consult and I felt 10000000% more confident after meeting with Donique. I am so happy I booked a consult!Posted on Ragan LeBlancTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hilary was so helpful and easy to work with when struggling to get my first baby to latch! She was able to come the day after reaching out and gave me a lot of good tips and links for what would work best for me and my baby. I highly recommend Hilary and Simply Lactation!Posted on Salwa KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Madeline has been such an important part of my breastfeeding journey. She’s so patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. What meant the most to me was how much she truly cared—not just about breastfeeding, but about me and my baby’s well-being. She would check in often, answer every question without hesitation, and always made me feel supported. Because of her, I was able to reach my goal of exclusively breastfeeding for six months, something I couldn’t have done without her guidance and encouragement. I’m forever thankful for this service and for the amazing lactation consultants - saffiya and madeline - who pour their hearts into helping first time moms like me. One of the best things about this service is the flexibility—they can support you remotely or even come to your home. If it weren’t for Madeline’s ability to visit me just three days after I left the hospital, I don’t think I would have reached my breastfeeding goal. Having her there in person gave my journey the strong start I needed and erased any doubts about whether I was producing enough for my baby. Thank you Saffiya and Madeline!!! So grateful for the work you are committed to!Posted on ElizabethTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Safiya is very patient and knowledgeable. After three kids, I realize every baby is different and every breastfeeding journey looks different. She took time to explain things to me and give me helpful strategies moving forward. I’m very appreciative!Posted on Judi OTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Safiya was GREAT!! Omg!!! She is very knowledgeable and right away was able to tell me what was wrong with my baby’s latch! The pediatrician didn’t even catch it! And she was super sweet and made me feel more comfortable! She showed me the appropriate pump settings on my pump! I could go on and on. Long story short: book the appointment! No matter how far along in your breastfeeding journey you are! It was worth it!Posted on Zahra QTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Safiya is very knowledgeable and helped me throughout my breast feeding journey! I would highly recommend her!Posted on Kieuthy VoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Simply Lactation on IG. I was skeptical at first but having their services turned out to be one of the best decision I have made. My consultant, Safiya is wonderful. She is professional, friendly, informative and very knowledgeable. She walked me through every step, from how to feed the baby properly, how to use the pump correctly, how to store mil, etc… to having the right products and making a reasonable feeding schedule etc. I love the fact that I could text her when I have questions; it just put my mind at ease. Thanks to Simply Lactation and Safiya, my journey of breastfeeding has became easier! Would totally recommend their services to all moms out there.Load more
ANY CONCERNS
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a lactation consultation?
Each session starts with a detailed discussion about your baby’s feeding history and your breastfeeding experience. Your consultant will observe a feeding, assess latch and positioning, check for tongue or lip ties, and create a personalized feeding plan with practical steps you can follow right away.
Are your services covered by insurance?
Yes! We accept Aetna, Cigna, BlueCross BlueShield, and United Healthcare, and most plans cover up to six visits with no out-of-pocket cost as part of preventive care. Virtual and in-home visits are typically included.
How soon can I get an appointment?
We offer next-day appointments in most cases. Once you fill out the form, our team verifies your insurance and schedules your session as soon as possible.
Do you offer in-home visits or virtual consultations?
Yes, both! You can book an in-home visit if you prefer hands-on guidance or a virtual consultation if you’d like support from the comfort of your home—especially ideal for new moms recovering postpartum.
Can you help with milk supply or pumping issues?
Absolutely. Our IBCLCs are experts in milk supply management, flange sizing, pumping schedules, and storage guidance. Many moms see improvement after just one visit.
My baby has a tongue tie. Can you help?
Yes. Our consultants are trained to identify and support tongue and lip tie concerns. We also coordinate care with pediatricians and dentists if a release procedure is needed, and provide post-procedure feeding guidance.
What if I’m a first-time mom and just need reassurance?
You’re not alone. Many moms book their first consultation just for peace of mind. We’ll walk you through best practices, check baby’s latch and feeding patterns, and answer all your questions—big or small.
Can you help if I’m combination feeding or exclusively pumping?
Yes! We support all feeding goals—exclusive breastfeeding, pumping, or formula supplementation. Our goal is to help you feel confident and informed in whatever feeding plan works best for your family.
Do you follow up after the visit?
Yes. You’ll receive a written care plan and ongoing follow-up via text or email to make sure you’re supported as things evolve.
How experienced are your consultants?
Our team includes board-certified IBCLCs and registered nurses with over 25 years of combined experience, who have supported more than 25,000 mothers in their breastfeeding journeys.
