FAQ

  • What is an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant?

    IBCLCs are the top credential for lactation care. Not only are we highly educated and have passed an extensive board exam; we have thousands of hours working hands on with moms and babies. International Board Certified Lactation Consultants function and contribute as members of the maternal-child health team. They provide care in a variety of settings, while making appropriate referrals to other health professionals and community support resources.

  • What makes this clinic different?

    Run by Angela Das who is a mom of 3 and breastfed her kiddos for a million years, you’ll get the support of a highly educed team of IBCLCs. We believe every family is different and every journey should feel held. Evidence based practices combined with years of real world experience make for the perfect recipe for support. Oh, and there is also bad dancing, mom jokes and sometimes singing. Meet the team here (at the bottom of the page)

  • What breastfeeding education do you offer?

    Breastfeeding education is offered both in person locally and everywhere virtually. My classes are a unique combination of up to date evidence based curriculum paired with an abundance of real life experience. We will learn the science of milk and all the tips and tricks for a successful journey, no matter how your birth story unfolds. Empower yourself with education today!

  • Do you come to me or do I go to you?

    Motherhood Untamed’s services are provided either at your home, at our Fort Collins home office or virtually. Whatever serves you and your family’s needs best is how we will connect.

  • Is my lactation consult covered by insurance?

    Most likely! We accept United Health Care (and subsidiaries like UMR), Aetna, Meritain, many BCBS plans and MORE. Check out coverage info here. Regardless of insurance coverage, lactation visits are eligible to be paid under your HSA/FSA spending account and I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your carrier to seek reimbursement for times we can’t bill directly.

  • Can my older kids be with me during our sessions?

    One of the benefits of working with Motherhood Untamed is the flexibility and family-first environment. Need to have your toddler with you? Great! Supporting families is the main goal, and that means taking the stress of “What do I do with sibling for this appointment?!” away.

  • How many sessions do most people need?

    There is no set answer here. Some people need one session to get on a path and feel ready to take life on from there. Some have higher needs and find multiple sessions fit their needs best.

  • What is New Parent Education?

    New parents want to provide the best for their new family; but what does that look like? As a Certified New Parent Educator you get more than Angela’s knowledge as a mom of 3 - you get someone who has studied the entire fourth trimester (and beyond!) to help you understand your new baby.
