Posted on stephanie bertrandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had 3 wonderful sessions with Mrs. Madeline and can’t recommend her enough! She’s very compassionate, understanding, educated when it comes to helping new mommas out.Posted on Anjali KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hilary and Simply lactation were wonderful. They were able to come out quickly after having my baby to provide guidance for successful breastfeeding after having a rocky start. I was able to get follow up quickly to make sure things were progressing appropriately. So grateful for her!Posted on Marily SinghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I initially reached out due to having latch issues with my newborn and a clogged duct a couple of weeks later. Hilary was available immediately to help and has been great help in making my breastfeeding journey as pain free as possible. She is incredible helpful and responsive, I would highly recommend.Posted on Aymon MalikTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I scheduled my appointment with Simply Lactation when my baby was scream crying three minutes into his feed. They scheduled me for a virtual appointment for the very next day and an in-house visit just a few days after. Safiya figured out the problem almost instantly and gave me curated guidance on how to best feed my son. She asked if her student could come along and both of them had such positive and warm presences in our home. Our appointments are very calm, easy, and yet very productive! My son has been feeding better since that very first appointment and feeds better as I implement techniques discussed at the subsequent appointments. I’ve already started recommending her to my other breastfeeding friends! If you’re looking for a good lactation consultant with emotional intelligence and competence, I would 100/10 recommend SimplyLactation!Posted on Jessica KeeseeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Donique has been the difference in my lactation journey. She is patient and supportive and I can't recommend her enough! I have a friend who worked with another team member and speaks highly of her experience as well!Posted on basma orriTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hillary was beyond amazing ! She made my breastfeeding experience so much better in the most human way possible. Very knowledgeable, great with babies and super supportive.Posted on Nitish SarafTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an excellent experience with Simple Lactation. The consultant who visited us was incredibly helpful in guiding my wife through the complexities of feeding, lactation, and pumping. The service provided was highly professional, and the level of expertise was evident from the start. They not only provided clear instructions but also ensured we felt supported throughout the process. I highly recommend Simple Lactation to anyone looking for expert, compassionate, and professional lactation support.Posted on Jennifer CeratoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Simply Lactations consultant, Donique T., was amazing throughout my breastfeeding journey. She was wonderful with not only me but also my son. The home visits put my mind at ease. I highly recommend them to every new mother.Posted on Kenara McCoyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Simply Lactation was amazing! They got back to me so quickly and even had availability the next day, which I was so grateful for. I had the pleasure of working with Donique—she answered all of my questions and was so helpful, especially with this being my first baby and the latching issues I’ve been having. She was honestly so sweet and gentle, both with me and my baby. Highly recommend!Posted on Urmi RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend scheduling with simply lactation, especially when you’ve gone home from the hospital. The hospital consultant did not provide me correct information, and I was even pumping with the wrong flange size, which created so much stress and frustration for me. Scheduling a home visit was extremely fast, an evaluation was scheduled within a few days. Safiya came to my home and was warm and kind from the start, gave a proper evaluation including measurements and thorough discussion. As a first time mom, I appreciate her sharing her own experiences and encouraging me through every step. I’ve already recommended this company to several of my friends and will continue to do so. Since Safiya has come, my breastfeeding journey has improved so much, and my stress has significantly decreased as well. I can see her genuine excitement to see my son growing and I appreciate how much she cares. Do not hesitate to get an evaluation from Simply Lactation, schedule with them right away to give yourself the best chance at a successful breastfeeding and pumping experience!Load more

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.
