Lactation Consultations in Kirkland, WA

At our clinic, we will support you and your breastfeeding goals. We’ll provide you with the latest, scientific backed information. Often mothers will experience sore nipples, engorged breasts, plugged milk ducts, and latch on difficulties. In some cases, they also may have low breast milk supply, experience mastitis or thrush, or their baby may be only slowly gaining weight. We can help with these problems to ensure your health as well as your baby’s healthy development. We can also assist you with reviewing various feeding devices and helping you return to work successfully.

Our staff can provide you with basic breastfeeding education which can be very helpful if you are a first-time mother. We can work with you to develop a breastfeeding goal that is the best for you and your baby’s health.

When you schedule an appointment at our clinic, it will be around the time of your baby’s usual feeding time. In a 60 to 90 minute session, our providers will evaluate your feeding issues. This thorough examination will help us develop a plan to make your breastfeeding a more successful experience.

Coverage for lactation services is not standard across health insurance plans. We suggest you call your plan’s member services phone number and inquire before visiting our clinic. You will want to know if you need pre-authorization from a pediatrician for services and if we are inside their “network” or outside of it, as this often affects costs. You will also want to know if your insurance provides coverage for breasts pumps and if any upfront fees must be collected when you visit. If a claim is required, what information do you need from Evergreen Pediatrics to make the claim process as smooth as possible?

If you are a mother of a newborn, you may not always need lactation services. However, there are many reasons why you would visit our clinic for these services to make your life easier and ensure a healthy baby. If you are experiencing difficulty or discomfort when nursing or if your baby is not gaining as much weight as they should be, a visit to our clinic may be warranted. Support is often needed if you are a mother of twins, triplets, a baby born premature, or a baby with special needs. Also, we can help you select the right breast pump or if you have any other concern about your milk supply. We can also help you develop a pumping plan when you return to work. We are experts in these areas and can assist you when you come to our clinic for lactation services.
