The cost of a lactation consultant in Aurora, CO can be influenced by several factors:

  • Type of Certification

    International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) typically charge more than Certified Lactation Counselors (CLCs) due to their advanced training and ability to handle complex breastfeeding issues.

  • Visit Type

    In-home visits generally cost more than office visits or virtual consultations. Many consultants in Aurora offer telehealth options at reduced rates.

  • Insurance Coverage

    Insurance coverage for a lactation consultant in Aurora, CO, depends on your specific insurance plan. Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), many plans are required to cover breastfeeding support, including lactation consultations, without cost-sharing. However, coverage can vary by provider, so it’s important to check with your insurance company to confirm if lactation consultant services are covered, whether a referral is needed, and if there are any restrictions on which consultants you can see. Additionally, some consultants may bill your insurance directly, while others may require upfront payment, so it’s a good idea to verify payment details in advance.

  • Number of Sessions

    Some consultants offer package deals for multiple sessions, which can be more cost-effective than paying per visit, especially for ongoing breastfeeding challenges.

  • HSA and FSA Eligibility

    Lactation consulting is an IRS-eligible medical expense, meaning you can use HSA or FSA funds to cover the cost without paying taxes on those dollars.

  • Experience and Specialization

    Consultants with specialized expertise in areas like tongue ties, premature infant feeding, or relactation may charge higher rates.

When looking for a lactation consultant in Aurora, CO, it's a good idea to check with your insurance provider first, as many plans cover lactation services. Interview several consultants to find one who fits your needs and budget, and ask about their specific credentials, experience, and what each session includes.

Hi there, I’m Ellie! I'm an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), a registered nurse with years of experience in Level IV NICUs—and a mom of two boys, each with their own hard, imperfect feeding journey. I know what it's like to be sore, sleep-deprived, and wondering if you're doing any of this right. That's exactly why I do this work. When a mom feels supported in the postpartum season, everything gets a little lighter—for her, her baby, and her whole family. My job is to bring answers and encouragement right when you need them most. Best of all, my services can be covered by insurance plans, meaning many families pay nothing at all.

Ellie is absolutely amazing and everyone needs an Ellie in their corner! I met her two months into my nursing journey when I was struggling immensely and feeling completely overwhelmed. Before finding her, I had already sought out help from several different IBCLCs, but Ellie was a breath of fresh air. She took the time to really listen to me, brainstorm practical solutions, and was so empathetic and kind every step of the way. Ellie made me feel so supported and truly stood by me as a valued partner through what has been one of the toughest, most vulnerable times so far for me. She totally gets the unique struggles that nursing can come with, and she always comes prepared to tackle absolutely anything together with you. Beyond her incredible expertise, she is just so genuinely sweet and kind. Ellie will champion you every single step of the way, celebrating all of your wins and successes—no matter how small. I truly cannot recommend her enough!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Ariel with 2 of my children. We first came to her for my daughter when she was around 2 years old. She didn’t have any words. Ariel was so patient with her and created a wonderful rapport with my very shy daughter. Ariel has a way of getting my daughter out of her shell and really getting her to participate in her therapy even when my daughter didn’t want to. Ariel is just too fun that my daughter couldn’t refuse! My daughter made amazing progress while working with Ariel and talks nonstop now! I also love how Ariel was not only willing but very encouraging to bring other family members to our sessions, even young siblings. She loved being able to help others in our family understand what my daughter was going through and how they could help her be successful. When my youngest was born and was having feeding difficulties I knew exactly who I wanted to help us. Once again, Ariel was wonderful at explaining everything and listening to my concerns. Because of Ariel I was able to breastfeed him for over a year! If you are looking for someone that will come alongside you and your family to help you all succeed in your kiddos communication or feeding journey, I don’t think there’s anyone better than Ariel.

Ana is a blessing! We really needed help after our newborn was released from the NICU and we couldn’t have asked for a better lactation consultant. She is very warm and inviting, she helps you think and process all the different aspects of breastfeeding in a way that is digestible. I emailed her in between appointments when we were having some issues and she responded quickly and is a great brainstorming partner. She also answers all the random questions that we have as our little one gets into different phases. 100% would recommend she really does help you find your peace!
