About US

LAtched BSC was founded by an Internationally Board Certified Lacation Consultant (IBCLC). She envisioned a place where mothers could go if they were having breastfeeding difficulties or just needing additional support and reassurance. She also envisioned a place that served as a resource to other healthcare providers serving breastfeeding families. It was strongly felt that this center should be accessible to all families, regardless of ability to pay.

“Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breasts at which you were nursed.” Luke 11:27

The “Latch & Love” Program

Income & insurance coverage should not be a barrier to professional lactation support. Our Latch & Love program is our largest program and helps subsidize the costs for our mothers whose insurance does not cover the cost of appointments and paying out-of-pocket isn’t an option.

  • Mothers who receive Medicaid, WIC, SNAP, or TANF automatically qualify for free lactation services.
  • Eligibility for Free and Reduced Cost services is based on income and family size on a sliding scale. Reduced cost services start at just $10 a visit
  • Some private insurances will cover lactation services for up to 6 visits.
  • Find out if you qualify for FREE or Reduced Cost Lactation Services by calling (985) 789-2542

TESTIMONIALS

Clients Feedback

quote I seen Samantha back when I was in the hospital after having my baby. She was favoring a side and Samantha came and helped her latch to it quickly. Later when my daughter was 2 months old I ended up crossing paths with Samantha again because I was having problems nursing. She was so very helpful with everything. I never once felt nervous talking to her. Turned out my daughter had oral ties. She helped refer me to an amazing chiropractor and assisted with helping me find a pediatric dentist to have them revised. She was amazing and I’d recommend her to anyone!

quote Samantha is by far the most caring, patient & informative person to help you with all your breastfeeding needs!! She is amazing at the work she does & makes you feel so comfortable & heard throughout your entire journey! I’m grateful that I had Samantha to help me during my breastfeeding journey without her I would not have made it as long as I did! Highly recommend her!

Samantha is amazing! I was struggling with breast feeding my 3rd child and honestly thought about giving up because I was hurting so bad. She was so patient and kind. Listened to all my worries, concerns, complaints, and fears! After doing an assessment she told me some different ways to position and nurse baby. When having complications of clogged ducts she answered all my questions even sending videos to help guide me. Always scheduled weekly appointments until I was comfortable with nursing on my own. I would recommend Samantha to anyone that may be struggling, have questions or just need help with breast-feeding. Like I said before she is amazing. I can’t thank her enough. She truly has a heart of gold.
