Lactation Medicine
MUMS AND BUBS LACTATION SUPPORT
​
Breastfeeding is a relationship between you and your baby. It is natural, but like all close relationships, it does not mean that it is easy. As new mothers, our priority is to help our babies grow and thrive. Through lactation support, you build awareness of the unique fit and hold between you and your baby allowing your confidence to grow, while enabling you to achieve your feeding goals.
Bloom and Grow Lactation approach is based on the biomechanics of the suck and swallow reflex during breastfeeding. We seek to optimize the synchrony between mother and baby through attention to position and stability, which fosters comfort and communication. We bring mindful awareness and presence into the experience of mutual nourishment.

Dr. Campbell will soon be in network with different PPO insurances through TLN. However, you may still be eligible for benefits to help cover the cost of your appointments. In particular, lactation services are considered preventative services per the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and often no subject to cost-sharing (deductibles and co-insurance).
​
​
The Affordable Care Act requires all new health plans cover lactation support and supplies without cost-sharing “for the duration of breastfeeding,” which means health plans may not apply any co-payment, co-insurance, or deductible to these benefits. Insurance companies can impose some limitations such as where to obtain the equipment and require purchase, rather than rental, of a pump.
