We Rent Breast Pumps & Baby Scales

Atlanta breast pump rentals and scale rentals are also available! We rent Ameda Platinum pumps ($50/two weeks) and Tanita BD-815u neonatal scales ($25/week). 

The Tanita BD-815u infant scale is the same scale as the Medela BabyWeigh. Tanita manufactures the BabyWeight for Medela. 

These scales are accurate and sensitive enough to assess milk intake at the breast by simply weighing the baby before and after breastfeeding. 

Book your scale or pump rental here or read on for more information about what to expect during a consult.

 

We look forward to working with you!

During Your Visit

You’ll meet with an experienced and compassionate International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) either in your home or in our home office in Morningside (near Emory University).

Your parenting and feeding decisions will be supported unconditionally.
We will assist with feeding and perform pre-and post-feed weight checks to measure the volume of milk your infant transfers.
We will provide ongoing support and encouragement after your consultation via email, phone calls, or follow up visits.
We will provide you with accurate, evidence-based information and a customized plan for you and your baby.
A report of your consultation will be sent to your health care provider and baby’s.

What to Expect & Online Scheduling

Prior to the appointment, you’ll provide a thorough history via our secure, HIPAA-compliant online forms. (It even works on your phone!)

Please start a full feed for baby 2 hours before the start of our appointment. The feed should wrap up 90 minutes before the appointment.

Please have available:

  • A written log of the past 24 hours (stools, feed frequency and volume, if pumping, pumping frequency and output).
  • If you are supplementing because baby is not latching, have a filled bottle with expressed breast milk or formula.
  • All tools you are currently using for feeding.
  • Your breast pump, all attachments, power supply.
