What Area of North Central Iowa Does ABS Serve? (See Map below)

 
Here is how we do this: First and foremost we will check your insurance coverage and if you are covered I will travel to your home within the big orange circle. If you are not covered by insurance we have options. If you live in the yellow or and blue area I will drive to your home. And if you are not in those areas I have offices where I can meet with you; just pick the closest one. They are in Hampton, Iowa Falls, Story City, and Ames. IN PERSON consults are the very best way to assess your situation but virtual consults are available as well. We will talk through all the options and pick what works best for you!! Rural Iowa, you have been under-served in the area of lactation care and we can change that and make a difference for our families.

Lactation Consultations
​

Prenatal Lactation Consultations
A consultation before baby arrives will address your breastfeeding concerns and together we will design a best practice plan for your breastfeeding journey. This plan is individualized based on your history, anatomy and goals for breastfeeding. 

Postnatal Lactation consultations
We will assess your baby's oral anatomy, your breast anatomy, observe your baby's latch and feeding. We will assist with latch, positioning, holds, and  together you will design a plan for going forward.  There will be follow up after the consultation by phone.


We aim to serve any and every mom who needs lactation services. Please reach out to schedule your appointment. ​
