Many feeding concerns can be effectively supported through teleheath, while some situations such as complex feeding challenges, oral function concerns, weighted feedings, or newborn assessments – may benefit from an in-home evaluation for more comprehensive support.

Together we can determine which type of visit is the best fit for your family and feeding goals.

One week of secured messaging follow-up is included with all feeding and lactation consultations.. Messages are typically returned within 24 business hours. Overnight messaging and emergency response are not available.

Our 2 and 4 week support packages provide additional guidance through extended secure messaging and scheduled virtual “check-ins” to help families feel supported during the postpartum transition.

If new feeding concerns arise, or additional support is needed families may schedule and in-home or telehealth follow-up consultation for continued individualized care.

You and your baby may begin this support program at any point during the first 12 weeks postpartum. Care is individualized to your family’s goals and can be tailored to meet your needs wherever you are in your feeding and postpartum journey.

Absolutely. The program can be individualized to support NICU graduates, feeding transitions, pumping journeys, oral feeding development, and complex infant feeding needs after a discharge. Care is tailored to your baby’s unique medical and developmental needs while supporting your family’s feeding goals during this transition period.

Balanced Baby Lactation services and Balanced Beginnings^TM Support Packages are designed to support families in meeting their feeding goals – whether that includes breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, supplementation, formula feeding, or combination feeding.

Every family’s journey looks different, and feeding plans may evolve throughout the postpartum period. My role is to provide evidence-based guidance, individualized support, and compassionate care without judgement, while helping you feel confident in how you nourish and care for your baby.

Support may include:

• breastfeeding and latch support if desired
• pumping guidance
• bottle introduction and bottle refusal support
• supplementation planning
• low milk supply support
• return-to-work feeding plans
• feeding transitions as your baby grows

No. Balanced Baby Lactation services are designed to complement – not replace- your baby’s pediatrician, primary care provider, obstetric provider, or emergency medical care.

Families should continue all recommended newborn pediatric visits, vaccinations, screenings, and routine medical care with their established healthcare providers. Balanced Baby Lactation does not function as your child’s medical home or routine primary care practice.

The Balanced Beginnings_^TM Fourth Trimester Support Package is intended to provide personalized feeding support, newborn guidance, developmental education, and postpartum support during the transition into early parenthood while integrating medical expertise when clinically appropriate.

If concerns arise that require ongoing medical management, diagnosis, emergency evaluation, or specialty care, appropriate referral back to your pediatrician or healthcare provider will be recommended.

Single consultation visits require reserved appointment time and individualized preparation. Missed appointments, late cancellation, convenience fees, and completed consultation services are non-refundable.

Families who need to reschedule are encouraged to provide as much notice as possible. Rescheduled appointments are subject to availability. Late cancellations or repeated missed visits may require rescheduling based on availability. Cancellations of less than 24 hours will incur a $50 late cancellation fee.

If a provider arrives for a scheduled in-home visit and the family is unavailable or unreachable, a missed appointment fee of $150 may be charged to the card on file.

Concierge and packed-based services are subject to separate package agreement terms and policies.

Payment for single consultation visits, convenience fees, and applicable travel fees is due prior to or at the time of service. A valid payment method is required to reserve appointments and may be securely stored on file for scheduling and follow-up purposes.

Insurance billing, when applicable, does not guarantee coverage or payment. Families are responsible for any non covered balances, convenience fees, travel fees, copays, deductibles, or coinsurance amounts determined by their insurance.

Due to the personalized and ongoing nature of the Balanced Beginnings^TM Fourth Trimester Support Package, space is intentionally limited to ensure dedicated support for enrolled families.

A signed package agreement and payment method on file are required prior to the start of services.

Payment plans are available for family convenience; however enrollment reserves dedicated availability and support time within the practice.

Services already provided – including consultations, messaging support, care planning, and completed visits – are non-refundable.
