How it works.

01

Sign up in 5 minutes

Whether you're using insurance or paying out of pocket, answer a few simple questions to get access to care. Most insurance coverage can be verified within 24 hours.

02

Meet your Lactation Expert

We’ll match you with a trusted International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) who takes a holistic approach to care. Virtual visits are available nationwide, and in-person home visits are offered across Southern California.

03

Get Personalized Care

Your IBCLC helps with any concern: latching, pumping, supply, bottle feeding, pain—at any stage of your breastfeeding journey, from prepping for baby through weaning.

At MilkWise, we know that no two breastfeeding journeys are the same.

That’s why we have flexible options to ensure you receive the care you need, when you need it. If you’re using insurance, we’ll handle the heavy lifting of getting reimbursement—so you can focus on what matters most, not the paperwork.

Pay with Insurance, We Handle The Paperwork

Breastfeeding comes with its own challenges—you shouldn’t have to wrestle with paperwork too. We’ll check your insurance for you and help you access the support you’re entitled to. Most plans fully cover up to six visits, so you can focus on your little one without stressing about the cost.

How It Works
  • We’ll confirm your insurance details and walk you through the process.
  • Once approved, book your appointment—it’s that simple.
  • You’ll get expert care without the hassle, all while making the most of your insurance benefits.
