Our Clinics
Finding affordable, high-quality, and culturally sensitive chest/breastfeeding support can be challenging. That's why SDLEA was created—to ensure every family has access to this essential care, which is a human right, not a privilege. We address barriers like systemic racism in healthcare, which disproportionately affects Black and Bipoc communities, and financial hardships. For those without insurance or struggling to afford private consultations, we offer sliding-scale fees, starting at just $30 per visit for eligible families which includes: Black, indigenous, asian, latin and other people of color, as well as low income families who are receiving WIC or medi-cal and military families who identify with the Bipoc community. This is in order to address the disparities and barriers to care for these otherwise vulnerable populations.
​
How we operate:
Each clinic operates independently and is owned by its respective operator. SDLEA neither owns nor runs any clinic sites; we subcontract with all practitioners. Lactation consultants serve SDLEA clients, and we subsidize those visits. Consultants receive their full hourly rate, while clients pay a small co-pay less than a typical consultation fee which can be upwards of $250 - $300 per visit and multiple visits are generally needed.

What Our Clients Say
Gina B.
“Having access to lactation care has been God sent honestly. Working with Melanin Milk SD has been such a blessing! After giving birth and having bruising from my baby’s latching, she came to the rescue one day after getting out of the hospital and to my home! One less thing to worry about after just having a baby. She shared so much information, I felt equipped to run the “new mommy world” I had just embarked on.”
