I can answer your questions and help you make pumping “suck less” with professional flange fitting consultation. We will try all a number of flanges to determine best flow and best comfort for you.
Bottle Refusal
Does your baby have difficulties with bottle feeding or refuse to take a bottle? Are you trying to introduce bottle feeding to your baby so you can return to work or be able to get away for a while?

Together we will develop a plan to meet your and your baby’s needs.
Low Milk Supply
Do you struggle with milk production despite nursing and expressing at least 8 times a day? Did you know your production difficulties can stem from nutritional deficiencies or hormonal imbalances that are rarely tested for or identified in postpartum parents. Let’s work together to get to the bottom of your milk supply issues and get you the answers you’ve been looking for.

Latch Lab Consultation
Struggling with nipple pain or frustrated with latching? A comfortable, effective latch can makes or break your breastfeeding relationship and every parent deserves an individualized approach and positioning adjustments to find comfort. Whether you’re dealing with nipple pain, shield dependency, or unstable latches, we’ll help you identify what’s really causing your baby’s latching challenges and find positions that work for both you and your baby. No more dreading each feeding session. We use proven techniques to help you finally achieve a comfortable, pain-free nursing relationship.
Initial Consultation
During our initial consultation we will meet for approximately 90 minutes and go over your health history, diet, current feeding difficulties, feeding goals. and immediate questions you have. Depending on your circumstances and goals, I will observe the feeding, complete an oral exam, and sucking functional assessment of your child. Together, we will create an individualized care plan to address your needs and help you move closer to meeting your goals.
Follow up Consultation
Follow-up consultations are approximately 60 minutes long. We will review your progress and work on any aspects of feeding that are still challenging. Depending on your needs, we might be working on flange fitting, latching or evaluating your infant’s milk transfer. We might also dive deeper into your medical history to investigate the root cause of your supply issues or work on your baby’s oral function. We will work together to make any adjustments to the care plan.
Prenatal Consultation
Prenatal Consultations are an
opportunity for you to get answers
to all of your burning questions and
learn about what to expect when
your child is born. Many parents
have questions about ensuring
their baby is getting enough milk,
preventing nipple pain, pumping
and bottle feeding, or managing
nighttime feedings. There is never
a better time to learn about infant
feeding than before your baby is
born.
Flange Fitting Consultation
Picking the right flanges for your pump is one of the most important parts of a successful pumping journey. Pumping with the right flange should not cause any discomfort and should help you remove milk more efficiently. Measuring your nipple alone is like buying shoes online without trying them on. We will watch you pump with various size flanges to help you determine which one feels more comfortable and maximizes the best milk flow. We use a flange fitting technique developed and researched, and validated by Jeanette Mesite Frem, MHS, IBCLC, RLC, CCE of Babies in Common
Breastfeeding & Baby Gut Health Consultation
Are you worried about your baby’s new digestive discomfort such as fussiness, split-ups, skin rashes, changes in their stooling patterns? When symptoms like these are often dismissed as “normal,” you deserve real answers. Our specialized consultation helps identify the root cause of your baby’s GI symptoms through comprehensive assessment. Together, we’ll develop a personalized plan using evidence-based assessment and holistic recommendations to help your baby find relief. No more watching your little one struggle – get the expert support you need to restore comfort and peace to your family.
Bottle Refusal Consultation
Understanding why your baby refuses a bottle and developing the necessary feeding skills is crucial for a successful transition to bottle feeding. A bottle refusal journey isn’t about trying different bottles – it’s about identifying the root causes and helping your baby develop the specific oral skills needed for successful bottle feeding. Through careful assessment and observation, we’ll uncover any underlying issues and create a personalized plan to help your baby build confidence and competence with bottle feeding. We use evidence-based bottle acceptance techniques developed and validated by leading experts in the field Rachael O’Brien and Susan Howard.
Low Milk Supply Consultation
Struggling with low milk supply? You’re not alone. Finding the true cause of low milk supply is the key to reaching your breastfeeding goals – and it’s not as simple as drinking more water or taking supplements. Without understanding why your supply is low, you might spend precious time and energy on solutions that don’t address the real problem. Together, we’ll look at the whole picture – from how your baby feeds to any underlying factors that might be affecting your milk production. Just like putting together a puzzle, we’ll find the missing pieces that are impacting your supply and create a plan that works for you and your baby. We use proven approaches developed by leading low milk supply experts Jennifer Tow and Karolina Ochoa to help you reach your breastfeeding goals.
Oral Habilitation for Infants with Tethered Oral Tissues
Concerned about a possible tongue tie or oral restrictions? Getting the right care for your baby isn’t as simple as just getting a quick check and release. Success requires careful evaluation, proper timing, and a coordinated team approach. Every baby is unique, and oral restrictions can affect feeding, speech, and development in different ways. We’ll carefully assess your baby’s oral function – from sucking patterns to muscle function – and help you understand the best timing and approach for treatment. Working together with your chosen bodywork and surgical providers, we’ll create a comprehensive pre and post-release care plan designed for lasting success. We combine assessment and habilitation techniques from world-renowned experts including Jennifer Tow, Larry Kotlow, Melissa Cole and Kathy Watson Genna to ensure your baby receives the most appropriate and effective care.
Weaning Consultation
Is your nursing journey coming to an end? Whether you’re ready to night wean, reduce feedings, or gently complete your breastfeeding relationship, this transition needs to feel right for both you and your baby. Our specialized consultation helps you assess your readiness, develop a customized weaning plan that respects your baby’s needs, and manage the physical and emotional aspects of weaning. From gradual transitions to complete weaning, get expert support to navigate this significant milestone with confidence, love, and care.
What our clients say about us
Ania is the most supportive, caring and genuine lady out there. I truly believe without her my breastfeeding journey wouldnt have happened. Through every struggle (tounge and lip tie, NICU, jaundice, low blood sugars, nipple pain) my son and I had Ania was there for us to answer questions, provide support. Anytime I needed help she was there for us even after leaving the hospital. We have been breastfeeding almost 6 months now and I love every minute of it. I am so glad I had the honor of working with such an amazing lactation consultant.

Ania was beyond professional and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to provide suggestions both prior and after our initial meeting. It was super convenient to have her come to my own home and see me in my environment. I felt that the initial evaluation was very complete and all of my questions/concerns were answered. I highly recommend Anna for anyone that is even remotely struggling with BF. For something so natural, it is not always easy and it is such a comfort to have such a great support.
I have sought breastfeeding help from Ania with 3 of my children. Each time the care has been compassionate, professional and supportive. She has helped me with my babies having tongue and lip restrictions, dairy intolerances and tandem nursing. She is a treasure for the nursing mothers of the mohawk valley area
