Breastfeeding
Our goal is to help you make breastfeeding a success. Although it is a natural process, breastfeeding doesn't always come easy. New and experienced moms often have questions about breastfeeding and need support to successfully breastfeed.
Our Breastfeeding Clinic offers the assistance a new mother needs to make breastfeeding a success. Our board-certified lactation consultants are available to
work with you before delivery, while you are in the hospital and also at home to help you become comfortable and enjoy a positive breastfeeding experience.

Most commercial insurance companies will pay 100% of the cost of an in-person lactation consultation with no deductibles or co-pays. There is generally no coverage limit on the number of visits, so moms can receive guidance as many times as needed.
The Atrium Health Floyd Women's Care Lactation Services office will file the necessary paperwork with commercial insurance companies for moms to receive this service.
