Lactation Consultants that Accept Aetna in New York

Hi, I’m Maria Fernandez, RN, IBCLC. I’ve spent over 13 years supporting families through lactation, oral ties, and infant wellness. I blend evidence-based lactation care with gentle bodywork therapies, meeting every family’s unique journey with empathy and practical support. Let’s work together to nurture both you and your baby.

I am a board certified Lactation consultant who travels to patient’s homes to help with feeding issues. I also provide prenatal breastfeeding classes, which I highly recommend! I consider myself to be very patient, kind, and compassionate.

Hello, I'm Miranda and I would be delighted to help you reach your feeding goals for your baby or babies. I've been a Registered Nurse since 2008. I'm also an internationally board-certified lactation consultant, the highest qualification in the field. I have personal breastfeeding experience with four children of my own, and it didn't come easy. I've experienced firsthand the value of good support, as well as the frustration that comes when someone isn't helpful. I'm passionate about helping families thrive, and that starts with supporting parents in reaching their feeding goals—whatever they may be. Whether you're breastfeeding, pumping and bottle-feeding, combo feeding, or figuring out what works best for you, I'm here to help. My goal is for every mom to leave our visit feeling more confident, empowered, and supported. Breastfeeding is hard—you don't have to do it alone
