📣 IMPORTANT INSURANCE UPDATE from Hometown Lactation

Starting July 14, The Lactation Network will no longer accept new Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plans.

✨ If you're pregnant and even considering breastfeeding, please act now!
✅ Get pre-approved before July 14 to receive six free visits through TLN — even if your appointments happen later.

https://go.lactationnetwork.com/HometownLactation,LLC

💡 Already a client? You’re totally fine! This only affects new BCBS clients starting July 14.

Unfortunately, BCBS denied our request to become in-network in Kentucky. After July 14, we’ll still welcome BCBS clients on a self-pay basis — and we’ll provide a superbill to help you seek reimbursement directly from your plan.

💛 We're not going anywhere. We are still here to support you and your feeding journey — just with a few insurance changes. Please share this with anyone expecting!

Breastfeeding in the summer heat? We see you, mama — and staying cool matters. 😎💧

Here are a few easy ways to beat the heat while feeding your little one:
🌿 Sip on a cold drink
🧊 Use a cooling towel or fan during feeds
👕 Dress in light, breathable fabrics
🪟 Feed in the shade or near a fan/AC when possible

You’re doing an amazing job. And a cool, comfortable mama = a happier feeding experience for both of you. 💛
