EnglishWhat Is Lactation Consultants of Atlanta?
Updated
Lactation Consultants of Atlanta is a private lactation practice serving metro-Atlanta families, describing itself as the area's founding private practice and the first to offer private lactation services in the region. It has provided breastfeeding support since 1988, and its stated mission is to promote, protect, and support breastfeeding through lactation services, care, support, and education.
If you are a nursing parent in or around Atlanta looking for professional breastfeeding help — at home, in an office, or virtually — this is the kind of practice the site describes. It also serves corporations and health care professionals, and rents hospital-grade breast pumps.
Who the practice says it serves
The site frames its audience in three broad groups:
- Nursing families — parents who want help meeting their breastfeeding goals "anywhere in their journey," from early latching problems to returning to work.
- Corporations — employers looking to add lactation services to an employee benefits package and support breastfeeding employees.
- Health care professionals — clinicians who work with breastfeeding families but are unsure how to help them.

Hospital-grade breast pump rental
The practice offers Ameda hospital-grade breast pump rentals. The site names three situations where a rental may help:
- You have a medically fragile baby and need to pump
- You are returning to work and want to boost your milk supply
- You are struggling with milk supply
Rental stations are described as available all hours of weekdays and weekends.
What the consultants say they specialize in
The site lists the following reasons a family might seek help. This list is useful as a self-check for whether your situation matches what the practice handles:
- Guidance or reassurance
- Answering breastfeeding questions
- Baby has trouble latching or staying latched
- Baby is always hungry, feeds every hour, or feeds for long periods
- You think your baby may have a tongue or lip tie
- Baby has had a tongue or lip tie revision
- Baby is extremely fussy at the breast
- Baby is extremely sleepy at the breast
- Concerns with diaper output
- Baby has been supplemented
- You are bottle feeding
- You are using a nipple shield
- You are feeling overwhelmed
- Difficulty with positioning
- Recovering from a C-section or strenuous labor
The site's own framing is that breastfeeding is a learned art, and that some mothers and babies experience difficulties requiring the knowledge and skills of an experienced professional.
