Our Mission

To provide you with the skills and support to succeed in your personal breastfeeding and pumping goals.  We offer a unique model, in that our IBCLCs are also pediatricians, RNs, and more!

Even Super Mom Needs Help Sometimes . . . 

We offer a wide variety of tools to support you on your parenting journey:

  • Prenatal guidance appointments - if you are concerned about your ability to be able to breastfeed, want to learn hand expression, and have questions to be answered

  • A wide variety of classes to help prepare you every step of the way!

  • After delivery: one-on-one appointments - detailed history, full assessment of both mom and baby, and observation of a breastfeeding session lasting approximately 60-90 minutes (including weighted feeds)

Does my insurance cover the visit?

  • In many cases, insurance covers a visit with our IBCLCs, as they are licensed medical providers. Dr. Toff was the first Pediatrician IBCLC in the Lehigh Valley.

  • Our center is covered as a tier one provider for all St. Lukes University Health Network (Geisinger) and Lehigh Valley Health Network employees (Populytics).

  • We also can take most health savings (HSA) cards.
