Great question! It depends on where you are in your journey. You should book a New Client Visit if:

  • This is your first time working with Milk in Motion
  • You had a prenatal consultation and have now delivered
  • You’re working with us for a new baby

Established client visits are designed for ongoing support after we've already done an initial evaluation for your current baby or concern.

Need a hand choosing the right option? No worries — just reach out and we’ll guide you!

We help you choose and safely use baby carriers so you can carry your baby in a way that feels good for both of you.

You can bring your own, or try one of ours. We’ll help you find the best fit and show you how to use it step-by-step.

We support wraps, slings, soft-structured carriers, and more. Whether you're a beginner or looking to troubleshoot, we can help.

Yes! We support all feeding choices. We can help you choose the right bottle, work on pacing, and support a smooth feeding routine.

Yes. Whether you’re combining breastfeeding and bottles or introducing formula, we’ll help you make a plan that works for your goals.

We’ll help you consider flow, nipple shape, and your baby’s feeding style so you can find a bottle that works well for your family.

We are in-network with Aetna. If you have Aetna, most visits are covered at 100% under the Affordable Care Act.

You are welcome to contact us directly (703-372-9711) to check your benefits before booking.

Self-pay rates are: Office Visit $150, Virtual Visit $100. We accept Flexible Spending or Health Savings Account cards and provide a special receipt you can send to your insurance.

A superbill is a special receipt you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. We’ll automatically provide one if you're paying out of pocket and want to request reimbursement.

We work with a billing partner who submits claims to your insurance. They’ll check your benefits and attempt to get pre-approval when possible.

Anytime you’re feeling unsure or struggling with feeding. Whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, support can make a big difference—especially in the early days.

Some initial discomfort is common, but pain that lasts or gets worse is a sign something’s off. We’re here to help make feeding more comfortable—for both of you.

Sometimes, yes. Feeding is a journey, and your needs may shift over time. We offer follow-ups to help you feel supported at every stage.

It’s like a fitting room for breast pumps. We’ll help you try on different pumps, test breast shield sizes, and figure out what’s most comfortable and effective for you.

You’re welcome to—but it may be easier to focus without them. Since we’re trying pumps and fit kits, having your hands free can help us make the most of your time.

Every pump and breast shield is sanitized between clients using hospital-grade cleaning protocols.
