Question 1

Will my insurance cover the cost of therapy?

Accepted Answer

We accept all insurance plans, including AHCCCS. Your insurance benefits will determine how much of your treatment is covered. We don’t want finances to get in the way of your child’s therapy needs. If you have concerns about the cost of care, call us to schedule a free screening so you can learn first hand the benefits of therapy for your child.

Question 2

What does a lactation consultant do?

Accepted Answer

A certified lactation consultant (CLC) supports, protects, and promotes the breastfeeding dyad. This can involve a combination of direct skilled treatment with baby and counseling with and supporting mothers.

Question 3

What can I expect during a LC session?

Accepted Answer

At evaluation time, a CLC will complete a series of case history questions before analyzing and assessing the baby while eating at breast. During each individual session, the lactation consultant will provide suggestions/intervention to strengthen the breastfeeding dyad and provide support to the parents. Each session will be tailored to the baby and mothers individualized needs.

Question 4

How long are LC sessions? How long are infant feeding sessions?

Accepted Answer

Lactation therapy appointments and infant feeding appointments are scheduled for 30-45 minutes long.

Question 5

What type of training does your LC have?

Accepted Answer

A CLC must complete a 52-hour comprehensive training course and pass various competencies throughout the course. Then, the CLC must pass a final examination. In addition to the initial 52-hour course, CLCs are required to complete continuing education yearly to keep their skills current and certification valid.

Question 6

How many sessions do I need to attend?

Accepted Answer

This is dependent upon you and your child’s needs. The main goal is to ensure you feel confident and comfortable feeding your child and that your child eats without aversion.

Question 7

Do I need to bring my own materials/breast pump?

Accepted Answer

It is recommended that you bring any materials you currently use or possibly want to use. The CLC will have some materials to use in session, but not to send home. Materials include nipple shields, breast pump, syringes, boppy pillow, and more.

Question 8

How old can my child be to schedule lactation therapy?

However, lactation services can be scheduled while pregnant, after birth, or at any point during your lactation journey.
