Ayelet Kaznelson

comments: I have worked with several lactation consultants over the years with my two children. Ayelet was fantastic. I went from feeling overwhelmed and not
feeling like breastfeeding was doable to having a very specific plan that
was going to work for me and my baby. Her follow up was amazing and she has
continued to be available to me for ongoing issues. I highly recommend.

Catalina Perez
415.640.0874

comments: Catalina is a RN with years of experience caring for babies and helping moms learn to breastfeed. With Catalina guiding us after a slightly rocky beginning, my baby gained a whole pound in 5 days! Catalina knows her stuff and is a great cheerleader who is very generous with her time. We highly recommend her.

Mona Gabbay MD IBCLC

comments: To the extent you have issues which require help beyond what a lactation consultant can provide, Dr. Gabbay is simply the best. She makes home visits and will work with you to heal any and all issues which result from
breastfeeding. Sometimes you need a specialist in this arena and I highly
recommend her.

Susan Burger

comments: Susan has been running breastfeeding clinics for years. This is a great way to get help with all breastfeeding issues at a more reasonable price than a private in home visit. The drop-in group clinics are a great resource for new moms. She is currently running them on Mondays, from 9:30 to 11:30 am at Kinected 151 W 19th St, 2nd floor. Check the website for latest listings. She still provides individualized attention and advice for every situation.

Freda Rosenfeld

comments: To say that Freda is a wonderful LC would be a colossal understatement. Although she is a bit pricey, she definitely makes it worth while. Freda came to my home a few days after my birth and has been doing follow up phone calls with me every morning since for over a week. She is kind, a little nutty, and very attentive. I highly recommend her, especially if you live in Brooklyn!

Sara Newman

comments: I was in full on "breast fighting" meltdown and she came and the baby put on almost 6oz in 3 days!!! Without struggle. A miracle, from our perspective.
