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.(https://iblce.org/) Find out if your lactation consultant is IBCLC-credentialed here.(https://ibclc-commission.org/public-registry/#) Bailey’s IBCLC credential # is: L-302040.

I can see anyone globally through virtual consults. I see clients in their home settings within my service area, outlined in the map below. Home visits with El Campo addresses do not require a travel fee. All other in- home appointments require a $30 travel fee, which is already factored into the booking price. **If your address is in El Campo, and you are booking an in-home visit, use coupon code ELCAMPO30 to have your travel fee waived.** https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a37a9d_0676dbbfec0040309d008476d895c39f~mv2.png

Yes. Please check your insurance under my 'Services' tab. I am in network with United Healthcare commercial plans. I am partnered with Lactation Consultants of America (LCA), who is my biller and processes BCBS and other insurance plans. I am also partnered with Wildflower, who is my biller and processes Cigna insurance. I am partnered with The Lactation Network as well, who is my biller and processes other insurances (including Aetna, First Health, Multiplan, Sutter Health, and others). Feel free to call or text me at 979-217-1724 with specific insurance questions. Click the links on my 'Services' page to verify your insurance. If I don't accept your insurance, I am able to write a superbill for you (upon request) to submit to your insurance. I have guidance materials I provide for how to do so. Your insurance will determine how much they will reimburse you based on your benefits.

Yes, but please let me know as soon as possible! If you do not attend an appointment, your payment isn't refunded. 20% of your payment will be retained for cancellations given with less than 24 hours notice, while the remainder will be reimbursed. I highly recommend you read the Refund and Cancellations policy in our Terms of Service.

I see clients 8:30a - 5:30p on Friday's. Weekend and evening availability available upon request, and when scheduling allows. (I work for WIC Monday-Thursday from 8:30a - 4:00p.)

Initial in-home visits typically last 1.5 - 2 hours. Follow-up home visits typically last 1 - 1.5 hours. Initial virtual visits typically last 1 - 1.5 hours. Follow-up virtual visits typically last 45 - 60 minutes.

Our mission is to provide compassionate lactation support to South Texas and beyond. We want to bridge disparities and bring mom's evidence based care to empower them to make the best decisions for their babies.

I am due to give birth to my 4th child late March 2026. I will go on maternity leave once I have the baby, and I plan to return to work June 2026. (There's a possibility I will start seeing local clients sooner than June - please reach out by text or email if you're in Wharton County and needing an appointment before June 2026.)
