Congratulations!

You are embarking on one of life’s most transformative journeys: motherhood! Wanting to breastfeed your baby is natural, but doing it doesn’t always come easy. If you have questions or concerns about breastfeeding, we can help. As International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC) with extensive training and experience helping families to overcome breastfeeding challenges, Ana Estorino Uribasterra and Andrea J. Blanco offer prenatal and postpartum lactation education, assistance and support. Our practical, evidence-based approach empowers parents to make informed decisions and achieve their breastfeeding goals. For every mother and baby pair we work with, our focus is on creating an individualized plan that helps make breastfeeding work for them, even after a rocky start. Some of the situations we've successfully helped mothers and babies work through include: latching difficulties, injured nipples, breastfeeding after breast surgeries, low milk production, baby weight gain problems, and transitioning from supplementing and bottle feeding to breastfeeding.

It is our passion to assist mothers and babies on their breastfeeding journey and we take great care to accomplish this in a nurturing, compassionate manner. If you have questions or concerns about nursing your baby, please contact us and we will help you get the answers you need.
