🍁 Happy Thanksgiving, RVA! 🍁

To all the families celebrating their first Thanksgiving with a newborn — what a sweet season to start new traditions. Whether your little one is wrapped close while you mingle, taking in the day from the coziest seat in the house, or rocking festive footie pajamas at the table… we hope today feels simple, cozy, and full of tiny moments you’ll treasure.

Postpartum during the holidays can be a lot, but keeping your baby close while surrounded by your people can make the day feel a little easier — and a lot sweeter.

And a big THANK YOU from our Coming Home team. We’re so grateful for the families who welcome us into their homes and let us be part of their journey. Serving this community is truly our favorite work.

Wishing you warm plates and warm baby snuggles today! 🦃✨

✨ This past Friday, Sydney represented Coming Home at a beautiful park event celebrating 1 year of the RVA Moms Club! 🎉

Alongside co-host FIT4MOM Richmond and so many amazing local vendors, we connected with families, celebrated community, and enjoyed the vibrant energy that makes Richmond such a special place for new and growing families 💛

We’re so grateful to be part of a community that supports one another and continues to grow together. Here’s to many more events like this!

Our hearts (and brains!) are so full after an amazing weekend learning from . We explored ways to support babies through movement, reflex integration, and foundational CST work — and loved connecting with other passionate birth and postpartum professionals. We can’t wait to bring these skills into our RVA homes and continue bridging care and connection in our community. 🌿✨

✨ Today we were honored to be invited back for the third year to speak with the PA students at Randolph-Macon College! ✨

It’s always such a joy to share our passion for lactation and postpartum care, and to answer so many thoughtful, insightful questions from these bright future providers.

Supporting and nurturing families through the postpartum journey is vital work, and we love helping the next generation of healthcare professionals understand the impact they can make. ❤️

We might be a little biased, but we truly believe we’ve got the most talented, hardworking, caring, and thoughtful team in RVA. Grateful for every chance we get to come together—whether it’s talking life, business, or the joy of caring for mommas and their babies. 💕

✨ Anthem/BCBS Update ✨
 We’re so excited about the huge step forward that was accomplished last week! 🙌 While this is a big win, the process of getting fully in-network is still ongoing.

We’re in active communication with Anthem to move things along, but as many of you know—nothing in the insurance world happens “quick.” ⏳

Please bear with us as we continue to push for progress. Our goal is to be able to provide covered support to families again as soon as possible, and we’ll keep you updated every step of the way. 💛

✨ Great News for Virginia Families ✨

Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield has opened the door for more IBCLCs to join their network in Virginia.

This is a huge win for families who have struggled to get lactation care covered by insurance🤱🏽

Many IBCLCs across VA have faced roadblocks getting “in-network” with Anthem/BCBS — leaving parents to pay out-of-pocket for essential breastfeeding support. Now, change is happening.🙌🏼

💡 A reminder: you never know the impact you can have when you advocate for something you’re passionate about. Small voices really can make big changes.

❗️Big change for RVA families!!

As of July 14, Anthem stopped covering lactation visits—and IBCLCs (even RNs) can’t be in-network. This means countless parents no longer have insurance coverage for the feeding + postpartum support they need most.

Lactation care isn’t a luxury. It’s essential for:
🤱 Healthy babies
💗Maternal mental health
💸 Preventing costly complications later

We’re asking Anthem to reconsider and bring back coverage. Families shouldn’t have to choose between their baby’s health and their budget.

We want to be transparent with you all about difficult conversations we are having to have almost everyday💔😭

Families deserve access to in-person lactation care without barriers—but right now, that’s not the reality.

Anthem/BCBS recently made the abrupt decision to no longer partner with The Lactation Network (TLN), leaving countless families—here in RVA and across the U.S.—scrambling to understand what (if anything) will be covered.

One mom shared with us:
“Honestly, it’s infuriating and frustrating that they made this change. TLN was such an important way to support both mom and baby during such a crucial time, and it feels like a real loss for families. They told me they offer an app for tele-health lactation support—which is such a far stretch from the kind of meaningful, in-person care and guidance that Coming Home RVA provides.”

💔 Families deserve more than an app.
Moms deserve someone to sit next to them, listen to their concerns, and tailor a feeding plan to their unique situation. Feeding support is not one-size-fits-all.

Here at Coming Home RVA, we’ve been working diligently to:
✨ Strengthen relationships in our community
✨ Collaborate with practices to make out-of-pocket options more affordable
✨ Continue providing the compassionate, hands-on care every family deserves

👉 That’s why we’re encouraging ALL of our families with Anthem/BCBS to call, email, and advocate directly for access to in-person lactation care. The more your insurance hears from you, the harder it will be to ignore the needs of parents and babies.

🤍 In the meantime, know that we are here, fighting alongside you and working to make lactation support as accessible as possible.
