Healthy Beginnings Lactation

Sheila helped me so much after my son was born with an in-​home consultation. They took my insurance (aetna) so I had no out of pocket. If it wasn’t for the help of Sheila and the staff at healthy beginnings, I probably would not have been able to continue nursing my son. Kelsey and Sheila are so supportive and the fact that they also stock some baby carriers and other products is really nice since it’s difficult to go to so many different places with a newborn. Highly recommend!

The woman there was very sweet but she had no idea what she was doing. I ended up giving her all of the suggestions she came up with (supply issues, etc), and brought up things that she didn’t even think to talk about (like checking for tongue tie). Not at all what I expected for $ 125.

When you’re a new mom and trying to figure out this whole baby thing the last thing you want to do is take your 5 day old baby out in the middle of winter unnecessarily. Thankfully Healthy Beginnings does house calls! It was $ 150 paid up front but it will be billed to our insurance. Even if feel like things are going smoothly I think this is a fantastic service to take advantage of. They will come and observe your technique and weigh your baby before and after a feeding. After the initial house visit you get access to follow up questions via phone/​email. They even brought a bag of common items that moms need in case you had to purchase any things like creams or hot/​cold packs. At their clinic inside the Medical Office building of Northwest Hospital you can get a free weight check, set up an appointment, or join in on a Wednesday drop in clinic/​support group.
