Meet with a Virtual Lactation Consultant from Baltimore or DC
At The Womb Room, we strive to be a compassionate and knowledgeable partner in your lactation & feeding journey.
The miracle of human milk is in its highly-nutritious, protective, and developmentally-supportive properties.
Such properties enhance brain development, digestion, and immune system functioning, that benefit your baby throughout their entire life.
That being said, a family's mental health is of primary importance, which means sometimes formula-feeding or a combination of breast/chest/formula-feeding is the best option for everyone.
Meet with an experienced, non-judgmental, in-person or virtual Lactation Consultant from Baltimore, for extra support that can make all the difference.

When to see a lactation consultant?
If you're reading the FAQs on a page about professional breastfeeding support, chances are you could benefit from some help! We are sometimes limited by a stigma or sense of guilt or shame about "not doing it right" when in actuality - we are supposed to have wise women around us to help us learn nurturing ways.
If you know there is a problem with your feeding, and you are at your wits end or are feeling concerned, anxious, or depressed about it -- please consider working with a lactation professional to help you!
What is your service area?
Online we help people with virtual lactation consultant services around the country, and sometimes even overseas, through remote video sessions. We also offer digital support through email, phone, and text.
To meet with Lactation Consultants in the Baltimore or DC area, The Womb Room can travel to you! Travel fees may apply.
What is the difference between a Lactation Counselor vs a Consultant?
Lactation Counselors (CLC) and Lactation Consultants (IBCLC) are both breastfeeding specialists that help people with most common breastfeeding concerns.
Lactation Consultants have a much more extensive certification program, in terms of the number of education and clinical hours, exams, and ongoing training requirements for upkeep of the certification.
Because of this additional training and experience, Lactation Counselors are expert at helping families, and are able to help you with advanced lactation needs.
Are lactation consultants covered by insurance?
Yes! We now take many major insurance plans. Contact us to see if your insurance covers these services.
What if I have trouble affording feeding help?
The Womb Room believes that everyone deserves quality lactation support, regardless of their financial situation. This is why we offer a FREE Lactation & Feeding Support Group led by our team of expert Lactation Consultants.
We also work with our clients that need more individualized support, to ensure they have all of the necessary documentation to seek reimbursement from their insurance companies. Contact us if you need help.
