Apparently I like two headed ducks, and I'm pretty sure there's a two headed baby with the woman in the rocker in the background. 🤣 But thanks Chat GPT. Looks good!

Dear Strong as a Mother families,

I’m excited to share an important update that may make lactation support even more accessible for some of you in the new year 💛

Effective January 5, 2026, select Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plans will be partnering with Wildflower Health to offer **100% insurance-covered *virtual-only* lactation services.

*What’s included:

* Up to **2 prenatal virtual lactation visits**
* Up to **6 postpartum virtual lactation visits**
* No out-of-pocket cost if you are eligible under your plan

**How to get started (important steps):**

1. Check your eligibility using my personalized Wildflower Health URL.

2. If you are found eligible, you must then log in to Anthem’s Building Healthy Families app to complete the enrollment process.

3. Once enrollment is complete, you’ll be able to schedule your covered virtual lactation visits with me.

Please note that this benefit applies to virtual visits only and eligibility varies by plan.

If you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or planning ahead for feeding support in 2026, I highly recommend checking your eligibility early so everything is in place when you need it most.

As always, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Feel free to reach out with questions or if you’d like help navigating the process.

With warmth,

Lauren Cascone, MSN, RNC-OB, IBCLC

Hi Everyone, even the strong mamas sometimes fall to the lousy illnesses of the winter. I'm reluctantly cancelling tomorrow's Free Breastfeeding Support Group tomorrow out of an abundance of caution since I'm not at my peak performance! See you all very soon.

Happy Thanksgiving to All! 🦃✨

May your turkey be juicy, your relatives be chill, your baby naps be long(ish), and your milk supply stay stronger than your willpower around pie.

Grateful for this community of badass moms who keep it real every day.
Cheers to stretchy pants, full hearts, and maybe—just maybe—a hot cup of coffee.
