LACTATION + POSTPARTUM SUPPORT FOR MAMAS

Giving you the confidence and tools to feed your baby and nourish your body postpartum.

Meet your consultant:

My name is Stephanie Kaufman and I am a bachelor's prepared registered nurse graduating from Kansas University School of Nursing in 1996. Knowing from the time I was a little girl that I wanted to major in “babies” ☺, I knew from the beginning that labor and delivery nursing was where my passion was. Thankfully, I was hired out of college to do just that—labor, delivery, postpartum and nursery nursing and never looked back. Having been at the same hospital for the last 27 years, I was offered a position in 2015 to specialize in lactation. I began a stronger focus on breastfeeding and made the decision to become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant in 2016 and have been practicing as an IBCLC ever since.

I can’t wait to help you on your lactation + postpartum journey!

Whether you’re a new mom struggling to get the hang of this whole breastfeeding thing, an expecting mom trying to learn all she can before baby’s arrival, or a healthcare professional needing breastfeeding education, resources or continuing education hours…

I can help!

THE LACTATION NETWORK

The Lactation Network is an advocate for increasing the standard of care around breastfeeding and believes that every mom should have access to lactation services and the best of the best when it comes to insurance-covered breastfeeding resources to help you achieve your feeding goals.

The Lactation Network works closely with International Board Certified Lactation Concultants (IBCLC's--that's ME!) by making it very simple to handle paperwork and billing of your insurance directly. This is great news for families because it takes the headache out of dealing with insurance and prevents out of pocket cost to families needing lactation support. Click here to determine if your insurance is covered and schedule a consultation with me.

TLN will accept most Blue Cross PPO, Blue Shield PPO, Anthem PPO, Cigna PPO plans, and all PNOA plans. Note that PNOA will often appear alongside other payers on the medical insurance card like Aetna or UHC. If the card includes the PNOA logo at all we can take them.
