About Me
Marie Robinson, RN, IBCLC
Welcome to my lactation consulting services! As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, I am dedicated to providing you and your baby with the highest quality clinical care and support. I have specialized training in tongue tie and oral motor function. I also assist pumping parents achieving the best flange fit for optimal comfort and milk removal. You deserve the best support on your breastfeeding journey!
Prenatal Breastfeeding Education
$125
60 minutes
Preparation and information can make feeding your baby much easier in the early days. I will provide information on positioning, milk supply, pumping, and any other questions or concerns you may have. Two weeks of follow-up email support included for additional questions or concerns related to your appointment.
Pump Flange Fitting
$85
30-45 minutes in your home
Having the optimal flange size is crucial to pumping success. I have also found that many people are using the wrong size. I have a complete set of flange sizes for you to try and will help you find the size that feels and works the best for you. This is for flange fitting only. Support for additional breastfeeding issues will require a comprehensive appointment.

FAQ
Do you take insurance?
The only insurance plan I am in-network with is Aetna. Please feel free to book an appointment if you have Aetna and I can request an estimate of your out of pocket cost.
I am contracted with The Lactation Network, a company that works with some insurance plans such as most Anthem (PPO), Blue Cross and Blue Shield PPO plans, most Multiplan and PNOA, UHC (HMO & Commercial plans), VA CCN plans. If approved, lactation visits are provided at no charge to the client. You can click on the button above to see if your insurance plan is covered. If you have Cigna, click the button above to confirm coverage through Wildflower Health. If not approved for coverage, I will provide you with a superbill with the appropriate codes that you can submit to your insurance. I don't guarantee reimbursement and don't offer refunds if your insurance doesn't reimburse. I do accept cash, checks, credit cards, and FSA/HSA cards.
​
Cancellation policy: If you must cancel within 24 hours of an appointment, I charge a $50 cancellation fee to your credit card on file to cover the lost time. Since I know life happens, I do offer the ability to reschedule one time within 24 hours with no fee.
Do you offer remote consultations?
I offer virtual consultations for self-pay clients and for clients approved through The Lactation Network for virtual lactation coverage. Notably, clients with United insurance will not be approved for virtual/telehealth appointments through The Lactation Network. Please reach out to The Lactation Network for further details.
How far do you travel for home visits?
I provide home visits in a 30 mile distance from Presque Isle, Maine. If you live beyond that distance, depending on availability I may be able to travel further for an additional fee. Office visits are not available at this time.
How should I prepare for my initial consultation?
When I visit you in your home, I will meet you where you are at. I am judgement-free and I want you to feel comfortable. To prepare for your appointment, it is helpful to have a log of feeding and diaper output for the past 24 hours. If you are using any breastfeeding tools, please have them available and ready to use. Although certainly not necessary, if you have other young children at home you might find it easier to focus on your appointment if you have another caregiver at home to tend to them. Please also complete your intake form prior to the appointment, ideally the night before. Although I do love animals, please have pets secured in another room during our appointment.
