Make An Appointment With Our Lactation Consultants


Our Lactation Department offers 
prenatal and postpartum appointments for breastfeeding and bottle feeding families. This program was developed in 1996 under the direction of Heather Lackey, RN, BSN, IBCLC. We were proudly the first pediatric office in Kansas City to offer the services of Board Certified Lactation Consultants.


We have a staff of 4 Board Certified Lactation Consultants in our office- Heather Lackey BSN, RN, IBCLC, Gretchen Stevens BSN, RN, IBCLC, Katie Winkler MSN, RN, IBCLC, CPN, and Kathleen Johnston RN, IBCLC. They all have background experience in Labor and Delivery, Mother/Baby and Pediatrics. 


Our lactation department partners with the Postpartum Resource Center to provide counseling for women experiencing postpartum depression. We are also proud to announce our partnership with The Lactation Network for breastfeeding families.


This program assists mothers with understanding their insurance plan coverage of breastfeeding services. For more information, please reach out to our Billing or Lactation departments.
