Sarah Spurling - Lactation Consultant

About Sarah

I am a Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a registered nurse with over 12 years of experience in labor and delivery, postpartum care, and the neonatal intensive care unit located in Chattanooga, TN. The past seven years of my career have been focused on helping mamas feed their little ones as a lactation consultant. Being a mama of two little boys myself, I completely understand how rewarding and challenging motherhood can be! Bringing a new baby home can be overwhelming, but feeding your little one shouldn’t be. I started Mama & Milk to equip parents with the knowledge and support they need to confidently care for their babies. You deserve to enjoy this stage while it lasts, because from a mama to a mama, it’ll be over before you know it. One day soon, those quiet cuddles in your nursery will turn into a toddler screaming “I want a snack!”. Whether it's your first baby or your last, I'm here to support you at any stage of your breastfeeding journey.

Lactation Consultant packages and pricing

Postpartum/Newborn-Self Pay Rate

We’ll review your medical history and do a clinical assessment of both mom and baby. I’ll evaluate the feeding, providing hands-on support with positioning and latch as needed. Using a highly sensitive medical-grade scale, I’ll do pre-and post-feeding weights to ensure your baby is transferring milk well and growing appropriately. I’ll answer all feeding questions and provide a custom feeding plan that’s tailored to your goals. Flange fittings are provided at no additional cost. Follow-up support via a HIPAA-compliant messaging service is included for 1 week.

$200 USD · Flat rate

Prenatal Education- Self Pay Rate

Sit down one-on-one with an IBCLC to talk about what to expect before the big day! We will talk through your medical history to determine any risk factors that could impact your breastfeeding journey and discuss your birth plan. I will go over the basics of breastfeeding including position/latch, what to expect in the first few weeks, how to know if your baby is getting enough milk and most importantly… when to reach out for help! If you need assistance obtaining a breast pump through insurance, I can guide you through the process and help you evaluate your options. I’ll answer all your questions and make sure you have everything you need to prepare for your little one’s arrival. My self-pay clients are eligible for a discounted rate for a postpartum visit once your baby arrives.

Breast Pump & Flange Support- Self Pay Rate

We’ll start by measuring your nipple size to narrow down which flange sizes to try. We carry plastic flanges in sizes 10–36 mm and in three different shapes-crater, pano, and classic-as well as silicone inserts. I’ll observe a pumping session and try several different flanges to ensure proper fit and that your pump is operating well. I'll show you how to use your pump, clean it properly, and store your breastmilk. We will talk about ways to maintain your supply and how to maximize milk output while pumping. Together we will develop a personalized pumping plan to set you up for success. This option is ideal for NICU moms, exclusive pumpers, and those returning to work.
