Still scrolling? Maybe you’re wondering…
How is Baby Settler different from other baby sleep programs?
Most sleep programs focus only on naps and schedules. Our approach starts with feeding, because when babies get the nutrition they need during the day, sleep often improves naturally.
Is support covered by insurance?
Most of our feeding and lactation consults are covered at 100% with no out-of-pocket cost through Wildflower and The Lactation Network. We’ll verify your coverage before your appointment. We also accept HSA and FSA and can provide a superbill for reimbursement
Do you offer both in-person and virtual support?
Yes. In-home consults throughout the Charleston area, in-office visits in Mt. Pleasant, and virtual consults for families anywhere in the country
Can your method work for both breastfeeding and bottle-feeding?
Absolutely. Our approach supports both breastfeeding and bottle-feeding families, and many parents use a combination of the two.
What’s the first step to getting started?
Most families begin with either our Babies Made Simple book, course, or a one-on-one consult depending on the level of support they want.
