The cost of a lactation consultant in Peoria, IL 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 Peoria offer telehealth options at reduced rates.

  • Insurance Coverage

    Illinois Medicaid provides partial coverage for Peoria residents, paying for lactation counseling when a medical provider delivers the service or submits the bill. Direct payment to an independent IBCLC is limited outside clinical settings and the WIC peer-counseling program. Options nearby are scarce, with only 2 lactation consultants listed within 60 miles of Peoria. For private insurance, federal requirements generally call for most plans to include breastfeeding support and breast pumps without cost sharing.

  • 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 Peoria, IL, 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, I'm Moniqueca (Mo-Nee-Cuh), founder of This Is Love Work, a postpartum doula practice serving Chicago and surrounding areas.

I'm also affiliated with Sokana Collective. Postpartum care should feel like love work. Practical, steady, no judgment.

Moniqueca is truly a master of her work. She was our Doula back in 2023 for Baby Rumi is soon gonna be three. Her classes prepared me to know what to expect as well as advocate for myself in the hospital. I remember it so vividly being around 5 cm dilated, doctors rushing in telling me that my daughters heart rate was too high and they might have to do a c-section. I called my Doula Moniqueca and she told me some turn the music on and to twerk my baby out. 3 mins later I felt the catheter pushing out of me and my baby's head coming through the birth canal lol. I told her dad to get the nurses because this baby was coming NOW!!! After 10 mins of pushing my beautiful babygirl was born and she is so smart and kind. I feel that having such a great doula contributed to this. Do yourself a favor and let her assist you with preparing for your bundle of joy.

I worked with Amber several time when nursing my twins. She was extremely sweet and made me feel like I was talking to a good friend. She was very knowledgeable but also extremely approachable, very different than the hospital IBCLC. She really helped me feel like I was doing well as a mother and her care and support helped me be able to exclusively breastfeeding my twins for the first 10 months of their lives.

I offer preconception through postpartum services including doula support, childbirth education, babywearing, biologically normal infant sleep support, newborn care classes, lactation support, and more. I am a mother of four and a Southern Baptist by faith. I am passionate about serving all families regardless of background, and believe every mother, baby, and family deserves to be held with tender care and loving support.

Recent review

Hiring the right Doula was an incredibly important and necessary part of my birth story. I was terrified to give birth due to past trauma and fear of the unknown. I needed someone by my side to teach me what to expect and to be my advocate. Sarah fully prepared me for the expected and unexpected. She was my advocate, cheerleader, and friend through the entire process. I felt prepared and was able to be fully present for the birth of my son. I felt, and feel, she really cares for me. Sarah continues to check on me (4 months PP). I don't think this is a job for her, but a calling for those who need her. Hiring Sarah was the best decision I could have made. If an informed and beautiful experience is what you desire, consider Sarah.
