Our lactation consultants are nurse-practitioners who are internationally board certified as lactation consultants. Because we are nurse-practitioners we can prescribe medications for the treatment of lactation problems.
Our Services include:
Lactation consultation for MUSC patients who are experiencing problems with breastfeeding or who are pumping for their infants
Lactation consultation for mothers of hospitalized infants
Medical management of lactation problems including mastitis, sore nipples, low milk supply and engorgement
Phone availability for lactation information
Breast pump information, rental and sales
We believe that any breast milk a mother can provide for her infant is precious. Therefore, our goal is to support, educate, and assist mothers to meet their breastfeeding goals. Many of our visits are screening visits for which there is no charge. For more involved visits, we bill for lactation consultation services. Most insurance companies, including Medicaid, cover this service.
