Nest Collaborative

Nest Collaborative is the first and largest virtual lactation platform in the U.S., dedicated to improving maternal-child health.

Founded in 2017 by Amanda Gorman and based in Farmington, Connecticut, the company connects parents with a nationwide network of International Board-Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs). They offer same-day, insurance-covered virtual consultations through an online video platform, supporting breastfeeding from prenatal planning to postpartum. The platform provides comprehensive lactation care, including virtual consultations for individual concerns, prenatal education, and group support sessions like the "Latch Lounge." Nest Collaborative serves expectant and new parents, as well as healthcare providers, and is committed to culturally competent care in multiple languages. Their no co-pay model ensures that appointments are fully covered by insurance, helping to remove financial barriers to breastfeeding support. The company has received industry recognition, including awards for being the Best Online Lactation Consultant and has raised $6 million in Series A funding to further its mission.
