We’ll guide you through the entire approval process.

If you’re constantly changing outfits, this one’s for you…

FEEDING SUPPORT IS OFTEN COVERED BY INSURANCE!

02/19/2026

Pumping is not one-size-fits-all.
Neither is fl**ge fitting.
Neither is feeding gear.

I’ve completed advanced training through Babies in Common in Pumping & Feeding Gear for IBCLCs — deep diving into the newest technology, fl**ge assessment, pump optimization, and bottle systems.

What this means for you:
✔ More precise fl**ge fitting
✔ Better pump output optimization
✔ Support with wearables & traditional pumps
✔ Evidence-based gear recommendations
✔ Less guesswork, more strategy

Because you deserve support that goes beyond the basics.

If pumping feels uncomfortable, inefficient, or confusing, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Most major insurance plans are accepted, and there are multiple pathways to care available, including financial assistance options when needed.

Schedule a visit and let’s create a plan that actually works for you and your baby. 💛

New laws only protect families when real experiences shape how they’re enforced.

The BABES Enhancement Act was signed into law to protect families traveling with breast milk, formula, and pumping supplies, but how it’s implemented depends on real parent voices.

The U.S. Breastfeeding Committee is collecting stories from parents who have experienced challenges during air travel, including:
✈️ Milk mishandling
✈️ Forced disposal
✈️ Inconsistent TSA screening
✈️ Contaminated supplies
✈️ Unsafe handling practices
✈️ Confusing or conflicting rules

Stories can be shared anonymously and will be used to help guide how this law is put into practice.

Policy should reflect real life.
Systems should protect families.
Care should be built on lived experience.

This is how systems change.
This is how families are protected. 🤍

To the mom up feeding in the dark…
To the mom washing bottles at midnight…
To the mom tracking ounces, minutes, or both…
To the mom navigating reflux, ties, slow weight gain…
To the mom who thought this would be easier…

You are doing something incredibly hard.

Love isn’t just roses and chocolate.
Sometimes it’s measuring, pumping, preparing, latching, soothing, trying again.

If today feels heavy instead of sweet, you’re not alone.

Feeding a baby, however that looks in your home, is an act of devotion.

At A Mother’s Village, we support families across Bowling Green with compassionate, evidence-based care, and extend that support to surrounding Kentucky and Tennessee communities and families around the world through virtual visits.

Most major insurance plans are accepted, and multiple pathways to care, including financial assistance, are available.

You and your baby deserve accessible support. 🤍

Drop a 💗 if you’re feeding a little love this Valentine’s season.

Big news for Bowling Green!

Our Milk Drop Depot opens 2/20 🎉

A Mother’s Village is now an official milk donation drop site, making it easier than ever for local families to donate lifesaving breast milk.

We would love for you to be one of our very first donors as we open our doors. Your extra milk can make an extraordinary impact.

Ready to donate? Message us to learn the next steps. 💜

02/11/2026

Only two afternoon appointments remain this week.
Call or text (270) 938-3404 to schedule.

We are in-network with most major commercial insurance plans. We also believe high-quality, clinical lactation and specialty infant feeding care should be accessible to every family. If your plan is out of network, benefits are limited, or cost-sharing creates a financial barrier, financial assistance may be available.

You deserve unbiased, compassionate, evidence-based care, without the cold, sterile “medical clinic” vibe. This is clinical care, delivered with warmth and real connection. ❤😍

Important Update: Self-Pay Pricing

We want to share a transparent update with our community 🤍

For a long time, we have worked hard to keep our self-pay pricing as low as possible. We’ve held out as long as we could, through rising costs, increased demand, and changes across healthcare, because accessibility truly matters to us.

To continue providing high-quality, clinical, evidence-based lactation and infant feeding care, and to ensure our practice remains sustainable long-term, we need to make a small pricing adjustment.

Effective 2/4/26:
• Initial consultations and follow up consultations (in-office and telehealth): $125
• Prenatal consultations (in-office and telehealth): $105
• In-home and hospital consultations: $300

This reflects increased cost of living, clinical overhead, ongoing training and education, supplies, documentation time, and the behind-the-scenes work required to provide thorough, individualized care.

We remain committed to meeting families where they are and offering multiple pathways to care, including insurance-based and self-pay options.

Thank you for trusting us during such an important season of life. We’re grateful to continue serving this community and to be able to do so in a way that supports both families and sustainable care 🤍

If you have questions about insurance coverage, self-pay options, or scheduling, please reach out.

✨ Big update from A Mother’s Village ✨

After years of intentional, behind-the-scenes work, we're excited to share that we are now in-network with most major insurance plans for lactation and comprehensive infant feeding care.

This means many families can now access clinical support through insurance — not just for latching or breastfeeding, but across all infant feeding methods, including bottle feeding, pumping, combination and formula feeding, starting solids, weaning, oral function and tethered oral tissue assessment, pre- and post-release habilitation, and support for feeding challenges along the way.

Visits may include in-office, in-home, hospital, and telehealth care, depending on your needs and coverage.

Not seeing your insurance listed? If you have a local or employer-specific plans — including Bowling Green–area plans like MedBen/CenterCare Select, Med Center Health, or similar — you still have options. Coverage pathways vary, and we’re happy to help you explore next steps.

Insurance can still be confusing (and yes, coverage varies), but our goal has always been the same: to make evidence-based, unbiased, compassionate feeding support accessible when families need it most.

If you’ve been waiting, wondering, or thinking “I wish I could afford help,” this may be your sign. 🤍

🤍 Questions about coverage? Reach out anytime, we’re happy to help you understand your options.

Online self-booking through insurance isn’t quite live yet, but it’s coming soon. In the meantime, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help schedule your visit via email, text/call, or message.

This is not about parents.
This is not about feeding choices.
This is not about shaming mothers.

This is about systems failure.

What you’re seeing here is not a single “incident.”
It’s a documented timeline of structural risk:
Aging plants.
FDA warnings.
Contamination risks.
Consumer complaints.
Plant closures.
Infant illness.
Hospitalizations.
Recalls.

As an IBCLC, I will always defend families first. Parents make feeding decisions based on the information and access they are given — and that information must be ethical, transparent, and safe.

Platforms and corporations must not amplify or profit from content that contributes to health misinformation and undermines child and maternal well-being.

This is exactly why predatory digital marketing in the infant feeding space is dangerous.
Trust cannot be a branding strategy.
Safety cannot be a marketing aesthetic.
Babies cannot be business experiments.

We critique systems.
We protect mothers.
We protect infants.
We hold corporations and platforms accountable.

End predatory formula marketing on Meta now.

Winter storms can bring power outages and if you have a baby, that can feel scary.

If we lose power, here’s what matters most for keeping you and your baby safe and fed:

Feeding your baby
Breastfeeding: You don’t need electricity. Nurse on demand. Skin-to-skin keeps baby warm and supports feeding.

Bottle feeding: Formula preparation safety becomes critical during power outages. If mixing powdered formula is necessary, water safety is paramount, boiled water (if heating is available) or bottled water should be used. Ready-to-feed formula eliminates contamination risks from water or preparation.

Feed more often if needed. One disrupted day will not harm your baby.

❄️ Storing breast milk
Keep fridge and freezer doors closed as much as possible.
A full freezer can hold temperature for 24–48 hours.
Fresh expressed milk is okay at room temp (≤77°F) for up to 4 hours.
Milk that partially thaws but still has ice crystals can be refrozen.

⚡ Expressing milk without power
Hand expression works.
Manual pumps are great backups.
Missed a session? Breathe. Resume when you’re able.

🕯️ Cold & safety reminders
Avoid candles near feeding or sleeping areas.
Use layers and skin-to-skin for warmth instead of unsafe heat sources.
Power outages substantially increase the risk of pediatric carbon monoxide poisoning, with odds increasing by ≥50% for all-scale outages and ≥150% for large-scale outages. Never use gas stoves, grills, generators, or propane devices indoors for heating, as these emit benzene, carbon monoxide, and other toxic gases.

🤍 A gentle reminder
A storm doesn’t undo your feeding journey. Your baby needs warmth, responsiveness, and safety…not perfection.
If you’re unsure what to do for your situation, we’re here.

If you’re seeking guidance (or a second opinion) about oral ties and possible release… read this.....

A true opinion should come from someone who does not benefit from a specific outcome.

If the same place:
• performs the assessment
• decides whether a release is needed
• performs the release
• and provides the treatment or follow-up care

That opinion is NOT neutral.
That doesn’t mean the recommendation is inherently wrong (although often it is).
It does mean there is an inherent bias, whether intentional or not.

Why this matters:
A frenulum alone is not the diagnosis. Function is.

When the conversation moves quickly toward release—without:
• a thorough functional feeding assessment
• discussion of compensations
• exploration of conservative supports
• or time to observe progress

That should prompt questions and concerns.

What a true assessment/professional opinion looks like:
✔ Independent assessment
✔ Focus on feeding function, not anatomy alone
✔ Clear explanation of why a release is or isn’t recommended (or why it may be too early to determine before beginning oral rehabilitation)
✔ Space to think and decide
✔ No pressure

If you’re unsure, it’s okay to ask:

“Is this provider financially connected to the procedure?”
“Is this provider financially connected to other services or businesses involved in your care?”
“What functional concerns are we trying to improve?”
“What happens if we pause or wait?”

Seeking clarity is not delaying care, it’s protecting it.
You deserve information, balance, and time. 🤍
You deserve unbiased care.
