Yay! I’m so glad you are choosing to support your goals by working with The Milk Box! I can’t wait to help you! Here’s the process to expect leading up to our time together:
The health of you and your little one(s) is top priority for me, so my goal is to see you as soon as possible!
Great question! After you purchase a service, I will be in touch about scheduling a time. My available hours are as follows:

Between 8:30 a.m. + 2:30 p.m.
In-Office Consults offered as needed at Harper House Pediatrics with at least 2 days notice (Aledo)
Mondays: In-Office Consults offered at Genesis PT & Wellness (South Main | Fort Worth)
Tuesdays: In-home Consults
Wednesdays: In-home Consults
Thursdays: In-home Consults
Fridays: In-home Consults (limited appts)
It is highly encouraged to anticipate a follow-up consultation in these situations. Families who participate in more than one consultation benefit from more optimal outcomes. This is due primarily to the fact that a period of time is often required in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the care plan and adjust based on your baby’s response to our approach.
It is my promise to do all that I can to protect you and your family from any and all viruses. Should I, or anyone in my family have symptoms of illness, I will discuss this with you prior to your appointment to access your comfort level. I will wear a mask and most likely gloves for the entirety of your consult.
If you or anyone in your household shows signs of illness, please call to reschedule. All participants should wash hands before the LC arrives and wear masks during the consult.
Did you know that if lactation services are not in-network with your insurance company, you may be able to request reimbursement for our services under the Affordable Care Act? The National Women’s Law Center has a great toolkit for accessing your right to breastfeeding support under the ACA.
The Milk Box is a self-pay/fee-for-service company. I do not currently bill to insurance.
Yes, but please let us know! If you do not attend an appointment or class, your payment is not refunded. If less than 24 hours notice is given, 20% will be deducted from the amount paid and will be reimbursed via the method of original purchase. We highly recommend you read the full Refunds and Cancellations section on our Terms of Service page.
I often find myself not only answering the following questions, but asking them as a nursing mother myself. It’s a confusing world out there with so many opinions, and baby brain is real. Have you asked yourself any of these?
If you’re asking yourself even one of these questions, let me help you! It’s worth it.
IBCLC stands for International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. It is the highest level of certification and training a practitioner in lactation can carry. It’s much different than a lactation consultant (LC), a certified lactation consultant (CLC), or a lactation specialist.
Specifically, IBCLCs have a health sciences undergraduate degree, a minimum of 95 hours of additional lactation-specific education through an authorized institution, at least 700 hours of supervised clinical experience, and also must pass a rigorous board examination. They also must keep up minimum continuing education credits (at least 75 CERPs every 5 years), be certified in CPR, and continually practice as a lactation consultant. IBCLCs also adhere to the Code of Professional Conduct. More info about the IBLCE organization here. Find out if your lactation consultant is IBCLC-credentialed here.
Jessica’s IBCLC credential # is: L-302808
