Lactation Care Services

    • Flexible daytime appointments

    • Select evening appointments

  • Families not enrolled in Alabama Medicaid may qualify for subsidized care through the Lactation Access Fund when funding is available.

  • If you, the birthing parent is enrolled in Alabama Medicaid, appointments may be available at no cost. Medicaid verification is required.

    OMC centers Black families in recognition of longstanding inequities in lactation care. We also proudly provide no-cost lactation consultations to eligible Alabama Medicaid recipients of all racial and ethnic backgrounds.

  • Every lactation consultation includes one complimentary follow-up within a week to check on your progress, answer new questions related to the consultation, review your care plan, and provide continued support as you settle into your feeding journey.

    Most follow up appointments are completed virtually at no additional cost. If we determine that your follow-up would benefit from an in-person assessment, additional fees may apply.

  • MILK Line

    No-Cost | Text-Based Support

    The MILK Line provides text-based support for non-emergency, non-complex lactation questions. This service is designed for general guidance, education, and quick questions that do not require a clinical assessment.

    Examples include:

    • milk storage guidelines

    • hand expression tips

    • pumping questions

    • flange sizing resources

    • general breastfeeding education

    New Families:

    New families may receive one complimentary MILK Line Consultation, which includes 45 minutes of cumulative text-based support. Before receiving clinical support, we will gather a few brief feeding questions and we’ll create a secure client profile in our electronic health record.

    Established Families:

    Established OMC families are welcome to use the MILK Line for brief questions related to their care.

    When an Appointment is Needed:

    Some concerns can not be safely addressed by text alone. If your concern requires a health history, observation of a feeding, review of pumping techniques, individualized care planning, or ongoing clinical support, we’ll recommend scheduling a lactation consultation.

    The MILK Line is monitored during business hours and is not intended for medical emergencies.

  • Individual Prenatal Lactation Prep

    $25 | Virtual

    Prepare for the early days of feeding with confidence through a personalized prenatal session designed to help you know what to expect before your baby arrives.

    Together, we’ll discuss topics such as basic breast anatomy and common lactation terms, early feeding, colostrum, what to expect in the hospital or birth setting, preparing for the transition home, and when to seek additional support.

    You’ll leave with practical guidance, helpful recommendations, and a clearer understanding of what the first days and weeks of feeding may look like.

    Flexible daytime and evening virtual appointments are available to accommodate your schedule. In-person sessions are available for Madison County residents only.

  • Lactation Consultations

    $150 | Virtual

    Individualized lactation support tailored to your feeding goals and current needs.

    Whether you’re preparing for your first feeding, experiencing pain, navigating low milk supply, pumping, combination feeding, returning to work, weaning, or simply looking for reassurance, your consultation is designed around you.

    Together, we’ll assess what’s happening, discuss evidence-based recommendations, and develop a personalized plan that supports your goals. Follow-up support is available as your feeding journey continues.

    Flexible daytime and evening virtual appointments are available to accommodate your schedule.

  • Hospital to Home Lactation Care

    $200 | In-Person (Evening Support also available)

    Begin your breastfeeding journey with continuous lactation care from the hospital or birth center through your transition home.

    This service includes one bedside lactation consultation during your postpartum stay and one in-home follow-up visit after discharge. Together, we’ll address early feeding questions, assess latch and milk transfer, develop a personalized feeding plan, and help you feel confident as you settle into life with your baby.

    Evening bedside visits are available to provide support during a time when hospital lactation services may be limited, helping families navigate early feeding challenges and make informed feeding decisions.

    Available for births in Limestone, Madison, and Morgan Counties. Visits are scheduled based on provider availability, including select evening appointments.

  • Home Visit

    $175 | In Home

    Personalized lactation support from the comfort of your home. Home visits allow care to happen in the environment where feeding takes place every day, helping us address challenges within your family’s routine while providing hands-on support, education, and practical solutions.

    Navigating early postpartum, feeding concerns, pumping, or simply needing reassurance, we’ll work together to create a plan that feels realistic and sustainable for you.

    Available throughout Madison County.

  • Specialized Lactation Care

    No-Cost | Virtual
