New York Integrative Lactation Care

Arianne was an absolute life saver. As a FTM, I knew nothing about breast feeding. Arianne provided me with education before birth to make sure I felt confident feeding baby from day 1. As soon as baby was born, she made a home visit to help ensure baby's latch and position was the best for both of us and continued to troubleshoot via text as new issues arose. She made herself available (probably too much so) to my husband and me, and answered any questions we had. We found her to be the most useful resource as new parents— she is a wealth of baby knowledge! Arianne followed my progress all the way through my return to work and helped me with a pumping schedule that would ensure my supply stay at appropriate levels for baby. I'm not at weaning yet, but when the time comes, I 100% will be contacting Arianne for assistance and guidance. Being a FTM can be super stressful, and breastfeeding doesn't make it any easier. I was so thankful to have Arianne as part of my journey into motherhood— I cannot recommend her enough!

Arianne was (and still is!) absolutely instrumental in our journey. We met with her many times during pregnancy and postpartum, and we leaned on her greatly for her knowledge, genuine care, and ability to help us problem solve. What we valued most about her lactation and feeding support was that she put a lot of effort into explaining the why behind the what; her recommendations always made sense because she explained the physiology. Communicating with her was easy and we always felt supportive throughout our many months of working with her.

Arianne not only helped me with initial latching after my baby was born, but guided me through shifting from exclusively breastfeeding to introducing pumping and bottle feeding when I went back to work, adjusting when starting solids, and weaning from breastfeeding and pumping. She is always accessible for a quick question here and there.

Working with Arianne has been such a positive experience. Even before my baby was born, she took the time to meet with me, answer all of my questions, and walk me through what to expect when starting my breastfeeding journey. Her depth of knowledge and ability to explain things clearly made me feel so much more prepared and confident going into those first days. After my baby arrived, she continued to be incredibly supportive, offering both practical tips and reassurance when I needed it most. She is patient, kind, and truly dedicated to helping families succeed. I am so grateful for her continued guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a lactation consultant.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Arianne! She went above and beyond to support me, even coming over before my baby was born to show me how to pump, feed, and collect colostrum. That early guidance gave me so much confidence and made the transition into breastfeeding so much smoother.

As a first-time mom, I had so many questions and moments of doubt, but with Arianne’s calm expertise and constant encouragement, I was able to successfully breastfeed my son for over 13 months. She was also there for me in moments of emergency when I needed immediate help, and I’ll never forget the way she showed up with kindness and knowledge every single time.

Now that I’m pregnant again, there’s no question that I’ll be turning to her for support with baby #2. I am forever grateful for everything she’s done for me and would recommend her to anyone who wants not only professional guidance, but also someone who truly cares.
