One-on-One Lactation Consultations
For some new moms, breastfeeding comes easily, but for many it can be more challenging. Our team of International Board Certified Lactation Consultants, many of whom are also registered nurses, have decades of experience helping mothers who are struggling in a highly personalized individual setting. Our team is highly recommended by pediatricians and ObGyn’s across town.
As we've partnered with The Lactation Network - It's very possible that your in-store or in-home consultation could be covered by Insurance! Learn more!

In-Store Private Lactation Consultations are Back!!
We're excited to announce that we're opening a new Private Lactation Office in early April. We will once again be able to support new parents with one-on-one support on location. Our lactation office will be located in Suite D on the 2nd floor above our beautiful retail store at 2727 Main St. in Santa Monica. Access to the office is via the stairways at the front and the rear of the building. If you are interested in booking a private consultation you can call our store at 310-998-1981 to book a private appointment.
When you schedule a one-on-one home visit with a member of the highly qualified referral network of lactation consultants listed below, you can be assured that a caring, trained, certified professional will provide quality and experienced lactation support in the privacy and convenience of your own home. Parents constantly tell us that having support in their homes is more relaxing and gives them a greater sense of confidence. These International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC's) will spend time helping you with all your breastfeeding issues, while providing education and insight as you move forward in your nursing relationship with your baby.
Clinical Grade Breast Pumps for Rent or Pumps and Pump Parts for Purchase
With the passage of the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies are required to provide new mothers with a breast pump to support nursing. These pumps can be effective, but we find that there are frequently delays in receiving them, and many mothers who are just beginning to nurse appreciate the better performance of hospital grade breast pumps until their milk supply is fully established. We rent high quality clinical grade Medela Symphony pumps on a short and longer term basis, and we also have Breast Pumps and Breast Pump Replacement Parts available for purchase.
