Rene Fisher BA, IBCLC - Lactation Loop NY

Let me just start by saying if you’re looking for real genuine help this is the lady to go to. In one visit with her, she single-handedly made me not give up breast-feeding because let me tell you… I was on my last straw. When I tell you the breast-feeding experience from day one in the hospital up until I seen her, which is one week postpartum has been HORRIBLE. I would literally burst into tears anytime I tried to breast-feed because I would get so frustrated that my baby wasn’t latching correctly and that he was hurting me anytime he would latch. Rene even though my baby has a tongue tie, made it as comfortable as she possibly could for me to continue this journey with my baby. You could tell that she actually genuinely cares about you breast-feeding and everything that has to go with it. I would recommend her to anybody I know that was having any kind of lactation issues. She really is a professional in her field and I’m so grateful that I didn’t give up and that I sought out her help!

Rene saved my breast feeding journey. My son had a tight lip and tongue tie, making latching from the beginning (at the hospital) so painful and difficult. Because of this he lost so much weight from birth weight and my heart crushed that he wasn’t getting enough food. We had to supplement with formula for a bit and I hated doing that. Baby boy was on me trying to feed every 30-45 mins and was nursing for about an hour between both breasts with very little milk in return. There were many times I questioned giving up but my heart just couldn’t do it. I reached out to Rene a week into bringing him home and she was able to help me get him to latch and feed better than before, but still not great because of his tongue/lip tie. Rene would always reach out, call, text, and check in to see how she could help and how he was doing which I appreciated so much! There was always a solution to every problem I had even if it meant syringe feeding him my expressed milk. She also gave me all the information of dentists that took care of this procedure. Fast forward to 2 weeks after that we finally addressed his ties and had them lasered. With Rene’s help and this revision, baby boy has been feeding amazing! We’re both comfortable, and my supply is slowing increasing! — side lying has been the game changer for the both of us! Which she walked us through the entire latch in this position.
Rene is soooo knowledgeable and an expert in her field. But further than that, she cares so much about mommas and their breast feeding journey. She truly loves what she does and it shows/radiates in everything she does. I would have given up if it weren’t for her and I would have regretted it. I can’t thank her enough 😭

Rene is absolutely incredible and truly passionate about the work she does. I was referred to her by friends who also received her support, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their recommendation. Rene came to my home the very day I returned from the hospital with my daughter and spent about three hours with me, guiding and supporting me through those first challenging moments of breastfeeding.

From the very start, she made me feel comfortable, confident, and empowered as I learned how to nurture my baby. It was immediately clear that she has extensive experience and genuine care for her clients. Rene came fully prepared with a scale to weigh my daughter before and after feedings, along with other helpful tools to support our session. She patiently helped me find comfortable nursing positions and taught me how to help my daughter latch effectively.

What stood out most was how available and supportive Rene continued to be after our visit—she checked in by phone and text, and even came back for a second appointment to help me work through some challenges and answer new questions.

As a fun surprise, when I mentioned her name to my mom, I learned that Rene had actually supported her when my sister was born in the 90s! My mom had the same wonderful experience and couldn’t say enough about her kindness and expertise.

Breastfeeding is not easy—it’s a learning curve for both mom and baby—but having Rene by your side makes such a difference. I wholeheartedly recommend inviting her into your home to support you on your breastfeeding journey.

Rene is one of a kind. She is a wealth of wisdom, knowledge, love, dedication, gentleness and encouragement. Not only did she come to my home but she checked on me regularly and was available when I had urgent issues. I don’t know how she does it and I wouldn’t have been able to get through the journey without her.❤️Thank you Rene.

Renee helped me turn my breast feeding journey around in just one session. After two weeks of breastfeeding and feeling like it was impossible to have a comfortable/not painful feeding I met with Renee and have been forever grateful. She is such a wealth of knowledge and a wonderful critical thinker. She’s helped me solve many issues!
