The cost of a lactation consultant in La Puente, CA 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 La Puente offer telehealth options at reduced rates.

  • Insurance Coverage

    Whether insurance will cover the cost of a lactation consultant in La Puente, CA, depends on your specific health insurance plan. Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), many plans are required to cover breastfeeding support, including lactation consulting, without cost-sharing. However, coverage can vary based on your provider network, the qualifications of the lactation consultant, and the specific services offered. It’s best to contact your insurance company directly to confirm what is covered and whether you need to use an in-network consultant for reimbursement. Additionally, some lactation consultants may offer guidance on how to submit claims to your insurance.

  • 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 La Puente, CA, 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.

Recent review

For any interested expecting Mama’s; don’t hesitate. If you’re looking at this it’s probably because you are considering a Lactation Consultant. Please set yourself and your baby up for success with Evonne. I had a discovery call with Evonne about 10 days before I gave birth and then saw her a handful of times after. Breastfeeding is a roller coaster and I honestly would have given up if it weren’t for Evonne. She helped with getting my baby to latch comfortably and also helped with bodywork and her neck tension. Evonne has such a calm and nurturing approach to her care. She even helped me learn the best ways to encourage my baby to sleep and massages to help with constipation. Before seeing Evonne, my baby girl had lost 8% of her body weight in the first few days but after just one appointment with Evonne, she “overachieved” on getting back on track. Shes growing so well now! We also saw Hideko for a bodywork session and she was so gentle and amazing at explaining to us everything that she was noticing. She gave us homework to help our baby also and we saw the difference in just a few days. Our baby became so much more comfortable. Both Evonne and Hideko are so flexible with in-office offerings, home visits and virtual follow-ups. They provided so much information and tutorials also to review. My family and I are so beyond grateful to Evonne and Hideko. You are in amazing hands with them!

My name is Stella (she/her) and I’m a Birth and Postpartum Doula and Lactation Educator in Los Angeles, California with strong ties to Washington State. I am eager to support you with evidence-based information, intuitive decision-making, bodily comfort, nervous system co-regulation, and tenderness throughout your pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. Trauma informed and judgement free, my role is to provide psychological, educational, and physical support while advocating for your needs and desires throughout any aspect of your prenatal, labor + birth, postpartum, or lactation-related experiences. I have an enduring personal history in birth-work and movement/dance, and a strong belief that birthing people deserve the care, information, and support they desire. I am passionate about this work, and eager to assist you in getting the resources you need, whether that be working with me or providing sufficient referrals. <3 As a queer person, I am eager to support queer, trans, and gender non-conforming families through their pregnancy, birthing, and postpartum journies. <3 Some things I like are writing poetry and reading books, going outside and laying in the sun like a lizard, trying a new craft, listening to Britney Spears, baking something and putting cardamom in it, learning about ecology and religious philosophies, making lists, going to estate sales, being kind to strangers, and looking at the stars when camping.
