Bethpage Lactation

Maria was truly a blessing. Since birth, my little one had trouble latching on to me. No matter what I tried she wouldn’t latch on and would end up hurting me. It was so bad that I was going to give up breast-feeding altogether. At first when I met Maria I was stressed out and frustrated. Maria helped me and my little one so much. Through a lot of patience and encouragement from her, my little one now latches without a problem. I am now more calm, stress-free, and finally enjoying my breast-feeding journey. Maria is truly one of the best, and I could never thank her enough.

Maria is an excellent LC! I breastfed my first child for two years and thought I knew everything there was about BF. When my second baby was experiencing reflux and her latch wasn't as strong as my son's, I reached out to Maria for a consultation. She was able to fit me in the very next day and she made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. Her home office is impeccably clean and she was so patient and kind during the consult. Maria is very knowledgeable and she enlightened me on so much about BF (she provided a ton of feedback on positioning and lots of online resources). I also greatly appreciate that she allows for continual guidance via text as I've had questions about bottle/nipple types and questions regarding pumping and going back to work. I think every postpartum woman should have the support of a LC and and if you're in the area, then I highly recommend Maria!

Maria was a life savor for my son and I. We met virtually once before giving birth where she educated me on so many essential things to help start our breastfeeding journey. After she helped determine my son having a lip and tongue tie that caused a latch issue which lead to engorgement ( I didn’t even know of such thing prior). She has been an amazing source of knowledge and support along my journey via text, email and in person visits. My goal was 6 months and thanks to Maria I’m still ebf at 10 months with intentions to continue.

As a new mom I learned a lot from Maria! She was patient, informative and made me and baby feel very comfortable. As a result of her sessions, my baby's feeding has improved and she is thriving. Highly recommended!

I would not be breastfeeding my daughter if it wasn’t for Maria! I was having difficulty getting my daughter to latch and she found that she had a tongue and lip tie. Once I got them fixed, I saw Maria a few times to work on my daughter’s latch and ensure she was taking in enough milk. Maria is so kind and was patient and knowledgeable every time I saw her. She really does care and I cannot thank her enough!
