Most hospital maternity units have lactation consultants on staff. While you’re in the hospital after delivery, ask to have the lactation consultant come to see you while you are breastfeeding. She can offer suggestions and encouragement to make breastfeeding the special experience it should be. All members are covered for lactation consultant visits at home or in the doctor’s office after delivery. A lactation consultant must be an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) who is also a nurse, midwife, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or physician. For more information about lactation consultant visits, call the Healthy Futures program at 888-447-0337 (TTY: 711). Our hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. A care manager will be happy to help you.
