Sometimes during breastfeeding a mother has to limit her diet of certain nutrients during the first couple of months.  The most problematic nutrient is dairy and next is soy, gluten can be problematic along with nuts, seafood and eggs. There are also a number of women who are vegetarian. Listed below are some companies who produce foods that are void of many of these products. All of them require your own research but there is relief out there for you who are looking for foods you can eat.

One of the best things that happened to me in 2021 was partnering with The Lactation Network. This company works to get the insurance company to pay for lactation assistance as it is spelled out in the Affordable Care Act. An insurance company by law has to supply a new mother with a breast pump and assistance with breastfeeding.

The beauty of The Lactation Network is they do all of this leg work with the insurance company.  The insurance companies that work with The Lactation Network are all PPO’s (preferred provider organizations) insurance plans with BCBS Anthem, BCBS, Cigna, and United Healthcare.

Once The Lactation Network is notified of a potential client it takes them 2 hours to let the family and myself know whether the lactation visits will be covered. The approval that they get is for 3 in home or office lactation consultations lasting 90 minutes and to be paid at 100% to the Lactation Consultant. There is no co pay or additional fees involved for the families.

Please check out The Lactation Network online. I have been partnered with them for the last 6 months and I have nothing but positive things to say about the company. https://lactationnetwork.com
