Lactation Services and Classes

An experienced Board Certified Lactation Consultant will conduct a comprehensive visit – mother and baby health history, an assessment of the mother’s breasts and a clinical evaluation of the baby’s feeding.

A written personalized care plan is developed to support your breastfeeding goals. Your care may be coordinated with your healthcare providers (OB/GYN, Midwife and Pediatrician). Telephone or email follow up by the Lactation Consultant is included. There will be a travel fee for all home visits. Click the "Schedule Now" below to inquire about availability and insurance.

Group classes are held in our Rockville Maryland and Herndon Virginia offices. These classes are provided in a group setting with up to 10 other families. Breastfeeding has more success when you  have support and encourage you to include your support person(s) in your private session. Our goal is to ease the transition into your breastfeeding journey and want you to ensure all of your questions and concerns are addressed when we meet. Each breastfeeding class is designed with you in mind and personalized based on your needs.

During every private lactation consult your IBCLC will provide an oral  evaluation & feeding assessment. Understanding that a visual inspection and a feeding assessment are best practice to  help identify any possible areas of concern.  Lactation Room collaborates with local preferred providers, should your baby need an oral evaluation by a specialist.  We have wonderful working relationships with ENT's, Dentists, Craniosacral Massage Therapists, Chiropractors, Speech Language Pathologists and Feeding Specialists in the DMV area to be able to support your baby's feeding needs. 

Lactation Room partners with Dr. Natasha Khurana, owner of Strong Ties. Lactation Room provides on-site lactation support and counseling for each oral evaluation and provides post-op frenectomy care. Our unique partnered approach is all encompassing with the emphasis on all education pre and post release. You will be working with one of our Lactation Room IBCLCs during your evaluation. This collaborative care is not intended to replace a full lactation consult and you are encouraged to work with an IBCLC for a complete feeding assessment, post-op recovery, and breastfeeding/milk production plan.
