Private lactation consultants help parents in the first weeks and months with a new baby, often visiting them at home, and many also offer video calls. They usually charge for a first visit, which can be long, then for follow-up visits or calls, and some sell packages or antenatal sessions. Parents are tired and busy, and family members sometimes pay as a gift. A payments app that handles visit fees, packages and payments from relatives can win lactation consultants, and every family who pays them sees your app.

Take payment when the visit is booked
A link sent at booking means the visit is paid before the consultant arrives, so nobody has to deal with payment while caring for a newborn.

Let relatives pay
A link a grandparent or friend can pay makes feeding support an easy gift for new parents, and each one who pays sees your app.
Grow through baby and family businesses
Lactation consultants work alongside doulas, baby sleep consultants and baby classes who support the same families. When those businesses take payments through your app, each consultant can bring more of them onto it.
