Virtual Lactation Consultant | Online IBCLC Visits
Expert breastfeeding support — from your couch, your bed, or wherever you need it.
What Is a Virtual Lactation Consultation?
A virtual lactation consultation is a video appointment with one of Lactation Loop's board-certified IBCLCs — the highest credential available in lactation care. You get the exact same expert support as an in-person visit, without leaving your home.
Whether you're dealing with a latch issue at midnight, troubleshooting your pump before returning to work, or just want a professional set of eyes on how things are going — we're here.
Virtual Visits — $100
Available to families anywhere in Michigan, Florida, Texas, New York, North Carolina, Indiana — and beyond. Most insurance accepted.
✔ Latch assessment via live observed feeding ✔ Milk supply evaluation and plan ✔ Pumping guidance and flange sizing ✔ Nipple pain troubleshooting ✔ Tongue tie and lip tie discussion ✔ Returning to work planning ✔ Prenatal breastfeeding preparation ✔ Weaning support ✔ Written care plan included
Appointments run 45–60 minutes. Available Monday–Sunday, 9am–8pm.
Is Virtual Really as Effective as In-Person?
Yes — and for many concerns, it's just as good or better. Your IBCLC can observe a live feeding in real time, see your actual nursing setup (your chair, your pillow, your pump), and give you advice that fits your real life — not a generic clinic setting.
The only thing a virtual visit can't do is a physical weighted feeding. For weight checks, we recommend an in-home visit.
Is It Covered by Insurance?
Most commercial insurance plans are required to cover lactation services under the Affordable Care Act — including virtual visits. Lactation Loop accepts Aetna, Cigna PPO, UnitedHealthcare (UHC), UMR PPO, Meritain, Anthem, Wildflower, Lactation Network, and Curative. Many families pay $0 out of pocket.
