Prenatal Consultation
Start Your Feeding Journey with Confidence
Preparing for your baby's arrival is about more than packing a hospital bag. A prenatal consultation helps you understand what to expect during the first hours, days, and weeks of breastfeeding so you can begin your journey feeling informed instead of overwhelmed.
Whether you're a first-time parent or hoping for a different experience than you've had in the past, we'll discuss what breastfeeding looks like in real life while creating a plan that's tailored to your goals.
During your consultation, we'll cover topics including:
-
What to expect immediately after birth
-
Skin-to-skin contact and the first feeding
-
Establishing milk supply
-
Positioning and latch basics
-
Recognizing feeding cues
-
Pumping and breast pump education
-
Partner support
-
Common challenges and how to prepare for them
-
Building confidence before baby arrives
Every family starts somewhere. Our goal is to make sure you begin your feeding journey with realistic expectations, practical education, and the confidence to navigate those first weeks.

Insurance + Payment
Flowstate is in network with Aetna and UnitedHealthcare. Many plans cover multiple visits, though coverage varies by plan and service. If you’re unsure whether your consultation is covered, we’re happy to help check your benefits before you book.
For out-of-network visits, payment is due at the time of your consultation. We accept cash, check, credit card, debit card, Venmo, and Zelle. We’ll provide documentation you can submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement. Credit, debit, and FSA card payments incur the card processor’s transaction fee.
You can also contact your insurer directly to ask about coverage. The National Women’s Law Center’s Breastfeeding Toolkit includes a sample script on page 8.
