Frequently asked questions about lactation consultants
A lactation consultant is the leading expert in the field of breastfeeding. Lactation consultants provide mothers and pregnant women with information and advice about breastfeeding and pumping. They also help to resolve any breastfeeding problems that may arise. Wendy is a member of the NVL (Dutch Association of Lactation Consultants) and is IBCLC certified.
A telephone consultation costs €40 and lasts approximately 30 minutes.
A pumping consultation with a lactation consultant at home (90 minutes) costs €130. Home consultations are only possible if you live within a 40 km radius of Purmerend. Do you live 20 km or more than 20 km from Purmerend? Then the cost is €150 plus 23 cents per kilometer. Any parking costs will be charged separately.
Do you have supplementary insurance? Then almost all insurers will reimburse the lactation consultant consultation! Some insurers even reimburse (part of) the purchase of a breast pump. This usually requires a referral from a lactation consultant. You can obtain this after a consultation (by telephone).
