About me

Hello! My name is Dalaney Young. I am an Internatiomnal Board Cerified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). My goal is to help moms meet their breastfeeding goals whether the goal is for 3 weeks, 3 months or 3 years, breastfeeding is a journey and I am happy to help you tackle any bumps along the way! I believe that parenting is not a cookie cutter one size fits all endeavor, it requires thinking outside of the box and realizing what works best for you. While you may hear and read things that work for some, it may not always work for you and your family. Allow me to help develop a tailored solution for you! As a mother of five I can relate to the ups and downs of breastfeeding and parenting, every baby is unique which makes every dyad relationship different. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and education to make a plan that is right for you! I have a Bachelor's degree in Maternal and Child Health with a focus on Human Milk and Lactation Consulting. Thanks to my education and hands-on clinical experience, I was able to sit for the board exam and become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I’ve also served as the Co-Chair of the Virginia Breastfeeding Coalition, which has been a rewarding way to give back to the profession I’m passionate about. In addition to my IBCLC certification, I hold a Basic Life Support (BLS) CPR certification, along with an infant-specific add-on certification. I’ve also completed an IBCLC Master Class focused on oral habilitation for breastfeeding, which includes in-depth training in tethered oral tissues (TOTs). For over 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of mamas and babies navigate breastfeeding challenges. I truly love working with families to help them feel confident in their feeding choices so they can enjoy every day with their little ones!

A must have for new parents!! Dalaney was so knowledgeable and alleviated my fears after thrusting myself into breastfeeding. Highly recommend if you are nursing or pumping!

Dalaney was a huge help for me while navigating the not easy journey of breastfeeding. Not only was she compassionate for both me and my baby, but she was able to identify issues and offer practical solutions for each one of them. It was easy to schedule home visits with her and she is super responsive to my questions. Really appreciate her expertise and advice.

Dalaney is an incredible lactation specialist! She is professional, very knowledgeable and a joy to be around. I am so thankful for her guidance as I was struggling breastfeeding my second, after experiencing many challenges with my first. She provided me with helpful resources, continually encouraged me and helped me to understand what was possible for my feeding journey. We worked together with me to create a feeding plan that worked best for me and my family. I couldn’t be happier with the results and I have absolutely loved working alongside Dalaney!

I appreciated Dalaney’s guidance and help more than I can put into words! Today was the first day I did not have to pump for the first time in 11 months. With Dalaney’s guidance I am still able to breastfeed my son mornings and nights. This has been my breast-feeding goal for a very long time now and I am over the moon that I’ve been able to reach it. I cannot thank her enough!! The plan she drew out was perfect and she was always available for questions or concerns.

Dalaney truly saved my breastfeeding journey, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her! Around six weeks postpartum, I was in pain, overwhelmed, and feeling defeated - so close to giving up altogether. Dalaney stepped in with invaluable knowledge, thoughtful guidance, and completely judgment-free support. She never pressured me, she simply met me where I was and helped me work through each challenge. Over the following weeks, she helped turn everything around for both my son and me. Now, I’m in a great routine with my exclusively breastfed baby and even building a freezer stash—something I once could have only dreamt of. I truly couldn’t have done it without her. Dalaney is not only incredibly skilled at what she does, but also such a warm and wonderful person to be around!

Dalaney is amazing! I truly don’t think I could have pressed on with my nursing journey without her. She helped me so much with my first baby and helped me really fall in love with nursing. She’s so kind, professional, and smart. She was available for any questions and helped me from day 1 all the way to weaning. I highly recommend her and I wish I could use her again. We are moving, but I wish I could pack her up and take her with me!

Delaney has been so wonderful to work with. So knowledgeable, judgement free and communicative. I introduced her to my sister too after a few weeks of working together due to how much I trusted her!

Dalaney is one of the most helpful providers of any kind that I've ever worked with. She is so compassionate and SO knowledgeable. I had already seen three other lactation consultants including one through our pediatrician when desperate googling led me to Dalaney. I was very nervous to bring another person into our home to meet our then 3 week old newborn, but as cliche as it sounds my only regret is not calling Dalaney sooner. Her warmth, professionalism, and refusal to dismiss the pain I was in were not only validating but immediately put me at ease. She worked with me through numerous ups and downs to create a plan that would keep my supply up while we troubleshooted issues, and eventually was able to solve a problem that all three other LCs missed. And on top of all that, our baby absolutely loves her! I've never written a Google review before but the reviews here convinced me to reach out to Dalaney in the first place and I have to echo what everyone else has said. If you're on the fence at all, or just desperately googling at 3am, I truly can't recommend Dalaney more.

Dalaney is amazing, she helped me SO MUCH when I had my first baby and I feel so grateful to have worked with her. She helped me navigate a lot of ups and downs, referred me to amazing specialists when needed, and she worked with me on changing up my breastfeeding / pumping plan when I needed more flexibility. She's amazing vibes and super prompt with answering questions along the way. I could not recommend Dalaney more and hope to work with her again!

We are incredibly grateful for Dalaney and the support she gave us during the first three weeks after our baby was born. My wife was dealing with low milk production, clogged nipples, and a lot of pain. Dalaney came to our home and helped us work through every one of those issues with knowledge, care, and compassion. One of the best parts of working with Dalaney was that she came to us—no need to pack up a ton of stuff and leave the house with a newborn. Her presence made us feel calm and supported, and it was clear she genuinely cared about both baby and mom. That sense of safety and reassurance helped my wife relax, which in turn helped her milk production increase. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Dalaney!

I worked with Dalaney starting when my son was slow to gain weight at 4 weeks old. We were also seeing an LC at our pediatrician, but Dalaney coming to our home was so much easier and comfortable with a brand new baby. She listened to me and understood our needs before recommending any solutions. You could tell how experienced she is with her handling and care of our baby during her visits. She never once made me feel shame for supplementing with formula, and she helped us find a feeding plan that worked for our family. Thanks to Dalaney, I am still breastfeeding at 4 months postpartum and happily bottle feeding and supplementing 25% with formula. I truly believe I would NOT still be breastfeeding without her support. If you are struggling with feeding, do not suffer in silence. Contact Newday!

Delaney is amazing at what she does. She works with you on your plan is very patient with answering all questions and very caring towards the baby. She will take time to understand your goals and help your baby reach their weight milestones . I love her company and it’s so convenient as she comes to your door step and helps you in your comfort zone. My baby smiled at her today and that says it all!!!! Highly recommend her and you won’t have to look far ❤️

I highly recommend working with Dalaney! She is experienced and knowledgeable, and on top of that compassionate and practical with care recommendations! She perfectly personalizes care plans, so that mom and baby's needs and wants come first. I felt SO supported and seen when working with her. I knew she had my back.

Agree with other commenters that Dalaney is indeed godsend, and the BEST LC that I have ever worked with. After my first son was born in 2021, I encountered tremendous challenges with breastfeeding and it was the main cause of my PPD. I consulted with five LCs, multiple pediatricians, and a pediatric ENT specialist. None of them could help me figure out the issue until I found Dalaney through a mom support group. She was able to identify the problem right away, and referred us to a great pediatric dentist to correct the tongue tie/lip tie issue my son had. She also provided very thorough guidance in helping me increase/maintain my supply and training my son to nurse in a correct manner after the procedure. Dalaney is also extremely responsive/helpful via text messages, able to timely answer many of my questions/troubleshoot before/after each visit. With her expertise and help, I was able to nurse my son till he weaned himself off at 13 month old. Right now I'm using her service again for my newborn daughter. She helped me identify the right position to nurse efficiently and guided me to fix my daughter's tongue/lip tie issues right away. I appreciate all the follow up visits, which help give me the reassurance that I'm producing enough to provide for my baby. Breastfeeding is one of the most challenging and rewarding things that I have done so far in my life. Dalaney helped me gain so much confidence during this parenting journey and I'm proud to be able to provide for both of my babies the nutrition they need. Thank you Dalaney! Can't do this without you!!

Dalaney was a God send! On our first visit, my daughter didn't want to latch. Every time I tried it was a nightmare. She cried a lot! And my nipples were so bruised. With Dalaney tips, patience, kindness and love, she was able to help us and today I can breastfeed my daughter without pain or crying.

Dalaney was a Godsend. I have having a really rough time as a new mom with my little one and her expertise, personal experience, and compassionate bedside manner was just what I needed to continue to overcome my initial struggle to breastfeeding my baby. I am very appreciate her and she has my highest recommendation.

Dalaney is absolutely amazing!! She came recommended to me and I am so glad to have worked with her. I looked forward to each visit with Dalaney as she brought a sense of calm and peace which was especially helpful during my early postpartum days. She encouraged me throughout my breastfeeding journey and constantly reminded me to prioritize and balance my mental health. She was also always available to answer any questions. I'm so thankful to have had Dalaney's support and would absolutely recommend her to anybody!

I struggled with getting my milk to come in and my baby to latch, and ultimately had to formula feed as breastfeeding just wasn’t working, much to my disappointment. Dalaney was super supportive and never made me feel like a failure for being unable to breastfeed. She encouraged me to prioritize my mental health rather than taking a “breastfeed at all costs” approach, unlike many lactation consultants. She answered my formula feeding questions and even got my baby to poop when she was constipated! Working with Dalaney made the hardest part of my postpartum period easier, and I’m thankful to have had her.

I was recommended Dalaney with my first born and she is absolutely amazing! She helped so much with her knowledge on breastfeeding & oral ties, helped create a perfect plan & team (of bodywork and pediatric dentist) for a successful release and was always available for any questions/appointments! I reached out when I had my second - this time my health ins was accepted (yay)!! With my knowledge gained from her help with my first (and a few reminders/refreshers from her this time lol), this whole oral tie release fiasco with my second born went SO smoothly and we are able to breastfeed with little to no issues!! She is beyond supportive, so knowledgeable is all things newborn & breastfeeding AND is such a comforting presence to have around in a time that can be very overwhelming 🤍

Dalaney is a godsend. I worked with her for both of my babies - in 2020 with our first who wasn’t gaining weight quickly enough after a month, and in 2023 with our second to check on her latch. I’ve worked with her on getting my supply up, latching (which she helped to correct in just one visit), dropping the night feeds, and so much more. My first nursed for over 2 years until our second one came along, and the second has now passed her first birthday! Through all the anxiety and stress, Delaney always knew exactly what to say to affirm my feelings without me needing to say anything. She was always a text away, and worked seamlessly with our health insurance. I am getting to share what I learned with other moms on their breastfeeding journey, and can’t imagine having gotten this far without her. She was a blessing to our family and will be a blessing to yours as well.

I honestly never leave reviews but I had to this time, because I couldn’t have made it through my journey of breastfeeding without Dalaney. She has been such a wonderful resource to learn from and grow with while navigating these early, precious months of motherhood. I am so grateful for her support!! Biggest piece of advice I share with expecting mothers who want to breastfeed - reach out and proactively set up an appointment! Thank you for everything, Dalaney!

Dalaney is an incredible human and lactation consultant! She has helped with both my babies and I truly believe I would not have been able to breastfeed without her. She is caring, patient, kind, thoughtful, responsive… the list goes on. I was of course happy when I “graduated” from her services but miss the weekly visits!

- Julia Fitzgerald

Dalaney is amazing! She practically became part of our family. I was having a hard time with my breastfeeding journey and felt hopeless and a failure. Dalaney was recommended to me and thankfully she had a spot available to me. From day 1 she showed me how to get my baby to latch and 2 months later my son is steadily growing and happier than ever. She worked with me on different plans until we found one that worked for us. She has helped me way beyond breastfeeding. I recommend her 1000%. She is sweet, kind, knowledgeable and never makes you feel judged.

I've only had a brief interaction with Dalaney so far, but it was such a wonderful experience that I wanted to leave her some feedback. I called NLS for the first time today seeking information about the services provided. Dalaney returned my call in less than an hour. After I described the kind of assistance I need which I have had trouble finding help with, it became clear that she does not provide these atypical services. Despite this, she spent 15 minutes with me on the phone passing on referrals that will be useful and all the helpful information she could. She answered my questions and gave me her email address in case I think of further questions. She was very kind and interested in my situation even though there is not a current opportunity for us to work together. She clearly has a passion for what she does and I would definitely contact NLS again if find myself needing such services.

Dalaney is the BEST! Nursing didn't come easy for me in the beginning, but she was there by my side in every step of the way to help me work through my breastfeeding journey. In addition to her wide range of knowledge, she truly cares about her clients and supports their own needs. She also has a very comforting and warm personality, so I really enjoyed my visits with her and always felt at ease. I will be forever grateful for her and truly appreciate all that she does. I would HIGHLY recommend Dalaney over and over again!

Dalaney is an incredible lactation consultant. She was responsive and supportive, always trying to find what was best for my baby and for me. She took the time to check on me, asking what I was feeling, if I was resting, etc. I enjoyed all our sessions in the comfort of my home, I can’t recommend her enough. Breastfeeding is hard, but I had her by my side at the beginning of this journey. I’ll be eternally grateful

Dalaney is AMAZING! She is extremely patient and sweet and everything you need to help you with your BF journey! Don’t think twice about calling her if you are needing lactation help! Words will never be able to express how grateful I am and will forever be that Dalaney with Newday Lactation was recommended to me. She has been my life saver during my BF/pumping journey. My insurance also covered everything 100% which is also a plus!

Dalaney is truly amazing! When she came I was 4 days PP and very much struggling with breastfeeding. She helped identify his tongue and lip tie and referred us to a wonderful dentist to help with the release of those. She then supported us every step of the way through the healing process, stretches and exercises to help baby latch, and answering any questions and concerns. Dalaney educated us on all things breastfeeding and gave me such reassurance and confidence while I was struggling. She has such a calming and sweet demeanor and you can tell she truly cares about the moms and babies in her care. She helped me go from wanting to quit breastfeeding to actually enjoying it and having it be second nature! I can’t thank her enough. She is truly the best and I will absolutely be calling her for future babies! Having the in home visits is also a huge perk when you have a fresh baby and don’t want another appointment to travel to.

Days after giving birth, my milk supply came in but I was painfully engorged and could not fully breastfeed my newborn. I was desperate and discouraged that my breastfeeding journey would end before it began until I found Delaney. After 2 visits (and after- hours support before I was even a client), Delaney got me back on track with my breastfeeding journey. I'm forever grateful to Delaney for her support and help during this special time in my life. HIGHLY recommend.

I was in such bad shape before meeting Dalaney and pretty much gave up on breastfeeding due to mastitis AND thrush at the same time at 6 weeks. She got me back to feeling great and not only did she help with all my issues but gave me all the confidence I needed! I am so so so thankful for her because there’s no way I would be breastfeeding now without her. Thank you!!

- Jean Kim

Dalaney was super helpful and personable. I wish I would have heard about her prior to delivery and had set up immediate visits with her post delivery. The in-home appointments were much better than hauling a newborn to the hospital to meet with a lactation consultant. Highly recommend!!!

Delaney is INCREDIBLE! She helped diagnose a posterior tongue tie in my daughter that all previous providers said wasn’t there and provided recommendations of the best providers to do the correction for our needs. She got me on a pumping schedule and bottle feeding routine to keep my supply up until we were ready to get back to breast after tongue tie revision. Once we were ready to get back to breast she worked with me to ditch a nipple shield and little girl and I have been going strong ever since. She was my ever present cheerleader and even when I was convinced that we weren’t going to be able to get back to breastfeeding she was confident and encouraging without ever pressuring me. She’s the reason breastfeeding worked for me this time around and baby girl and I wouldn’t be where we are today without her.

Like so many other reviewers, I cannot imagine my breastfeeding journey without Dalaney's support. She has been a crucial part of my first month of motherhood. I likely would have given up/been utterly defeated by breastfeeding without her guidance and encouragement. I cannot overstate how much her support has meant for my own mental health navigating breastfeeding as a new mother. My daughter had a lip and tongue tie procedure her 4th day of life. Dalaney helped us make the decision to get the procedure and provided a recommendation to the pediatric dentist we really were impressed with. She also offered subsequent recommendations to bodywork and PT specialists we have utilized. We have seen improvement in our baby's latch and continue working closely with Dalaney to improve our daughter's ability to transfer milk. Dalaney's compassionate support has given me the resolve to continue working through our breastfeeding challenges. Her company also goes the extra mile to ensure insurance is not a hassle (what new mother has time for that?) and the portal she uses to share appointment information is straightforward. Appointments are not rushed--and she is always available via text for questions. Working with Newday lactation services has been one of the best decisions we could have made as new parents.

Dalaney is wonderful—knowledgeable, compassionate, and such an overall great person to work with and know. My baby was having trouble emptying me out while breastfeeding. I left the hospital feeling deflated, as they made it seem like I was doomed for breastfeeding. Dalaney restored my confidence and continued to help me figure out why my baby’s latch wasn’t strong. I eventually ended my sessions with Dalaney on the understanding that I would pump and bottle-feed my baby with only a few times a day of breastfeeding, as it was getting exhausting to try to keep exclusively breastfeeding with my baby not ever feeling full when she was finished (and then having to pump afterward to get out what she didn’t). I told Dalaney I will reach back out to her when I am at the weening phase of breastfeeding. I am so thankful for all of Dalaney’s reassurance, compassion, and assistance! Thank you, Dalaney!

I think every new mom needs a Delaney. She is THAT wonderful. The first few weeks as a new parent are so stressful, but after every visit with Delaney my husband and I both felt so much more relaxed and confident due to her expert knowledge and exceptional kindness. I was worried I’d feel judged for having always planned on combo feeding with formula, but she truly was there to support us in whatever ways we needed— she even helped us work through some minor digestive issues with our little one! We appreciate her help so much and I will 100% recommend her to every new mom I know.

I would 100% recommend Delaney to any new nursing mother out there. We were struggling to nurse partially due to a tounge tie (we did get it fixed) but then i was only able to latch on the right side. She came and helped me out and now we are exclusively nursing. Which back in the first week I doubted we were going to be able to. She is so sweet, so helpful, and so knowledgeable. I am so thankful she helped me to get to where I wanted to be.

Delaney helped me so much! The first month of nursing my second child was going great, until I suffered from a mild mastitis. Delaney helped me work through plugged ducts and pumping to increase my supply and successfully transition between breast and bottle as I went back to work. Truly invaluable! I definitely would have given up or at least supplemented without her help, and I’m so grateful I did not need to do that given the formula supply issues. Would recommend 10/10! Great newborn resource!

Delaney is fantastic! She responded to me quickly when I found out my son wasn’t putting on weight because of a supply issue. She has a wealth of knowledge that she shared with us, and she was equally compassionate and considerate. She put my anxieties at ease, made me feel empowered to tackle the issues that get in the way of successfully breastfeeding my son, and I could not recommend her highly enough!

Dalaney is fantastic! She helped me to correct some issues we were having with breastfeeding and really helped me to be motivated to continue my breastfeeding journey. She is very responsive, even after hours and very knowledgeable about what she does. I am so truly grateful for her. She is also very respectful and even wore a mask in my home to protect my small newborn. I can’t recommend her services enough!

I can’t recommend Delaney enough. I had a very premature baby and so breastfeeding was a challenge for us. She was very comforting and gave me facts and evidence behind her recommendations. She was very responsive via text if I had any questions in between our meetings. She really turned breastfeeding into an enjoyable experience. Plus, she was able to get my insurance pre approve the appointments!

Simply said- Delaney is phenomenal! She truly cares about her clients and was available in person, virtually during COVID restrictions, and always answered my texts as we worked through the frenectomy recovery with my sons. Her holistic approach to support us when my youngest had colic made a huge difference in my breastfeeding journey during the first three months. I couldn't be more thankful to have worked with her and highly recommend her to any momma wanting support.

Dalaney is the most amazing person! She has gone above and beyond to help me be successful on my breastfeeding journey. She honestly cares about us and getting us thru this journey. I have twins and have had my ups and downs and I honestly don’t think I would have made it this 8 months without her. We are still going strong and I hope to make it thru this first year with her help. Thank you Dalaney!

Dalaney with newest lactation surely saved our journey ! We have a complicated story so I’ll try keep it brief. My baby had a tongue and lip tie and was unable to transfer milk further complicated by jaundice and low weight gain at first appointment. I met with a hospital lactation consultant who essentially patted my hand , said nursing for me and suggested formula. I met with Dalaney while trying to find a preferred provider to correct babies tie, she guided us to Dr. Marzban with Kingstowne dental. In the mean time Dalaney guided me through a difficult process or triple feeding to ensure baby was getting needed nutrients with expressed milk and supplements all while working to establish my supply. New day lactation has also assisted with my insurance claims! Wonderful. After the procedure baby began to transfer milk well, with Dalaneys assistance and support we were able to wean off supplement bottles and move to EBF! I’ve met other challenges along the way, early return of menstruation has effected my supply. Dalaney again assisted me to formulate a plan and ensure baby is thriving with some tweaks. We’re currently 4 months into our journey, still EBF and certainly couldn’t have done so without Dalaney. We’re forever thankful. Cannot recommend her enough, if you’re committed she is too!

Delaney’s lactation support has been by far the best part of my pregnancy journey! We brought our son home (who was born at 33 weeks) after just 2 weeks in the NICU. At 4lbs, and me a first time mom, I had no idea what I was doing - let alone with a premie. Delaney provided expert guidance on working with our premie to develop his latch, formulate a feeding plan, and track his progress closely. She was always available and highly responsive to answers questions sent day and night, and provided me with so much knowledge on dealing with the common pitfalls of breastfeeding. Working with Delaney gave me so much confidence in my ability to feed my son, and I’ll be forever grateful for her services. Don’t hesitate to contact her if you’re struggling with nursing!

Delaney is amazing! I could tell that my daughter was going to have trouble nursing so I randomly chose New Day Lactation and I made an amazing choice! She came over the day after I made an appointment and did an assessment and discovered that my daughter had a tongue and lip tie. We did some exercises prior to deciding to get a frenectomy done because Delaney wanted to ensure that we did everything we could prior to having the procedure done. Delaney is friendly, warm, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. It felt like I had invited a friend into my home. Due to Delaney's help and expertise, we are now 5 months into our nursing journey and baby girl is gaining weight at an awesome rate.

Dalaney is very professional and knowledgeable in her field. With being a first time mom, I knew very little about breastfeeding and feared that my newborn was not getting enough. She shared different techniques with me to get the baby to latch as well as different positions to put the baby in while feeding. She also shared remedies to heal sore nipples. She's just overall amazing and I'm so glad that I chose Newday Lactation Services.

Delaney is AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING... With my first child I didn't have a good experience with breastfeeding and boy do I wish I would have found Delaney when I had my first child. I felt so discouraged after the experienced I had with my first child. With my second child I decided to try breastfeeding again and give it my all. It started out rough at the beginning but I told myself I will not give up and I will get through this. I found Delaney and she helped sooooo much. I am no longer feeling discouraged and I am so excited about my breastfeeding journey thanks to Delaney. Delaney is very helpful and I would highly recommend Delaney.

If I could give Delaney more stars I would! After having a difficult time breastfeeding my first child I knew I would have to try harder for my second. I asked a friend and she recommended Delaney. I gave her a call and she fit me in the next day! She was on time and super nice! She listened to my concerns and problems then showed me what I needed to do differently and was very respectful. I recommend her to anyone that is having problems latching, supply issues, and she even helps with pumping and introducing bottles. She helped me in the beginning and now I am on 10 months and counting of breastfeeding!

If I could give Delaney 6 stars I would! I had a really hard time in the beginning of my breastfeeding journey and would not have been able to continue without her. My son didn’t latch well because of a tongue tie, which made feeding him extremely painful for me. Without Delaney I would have given up. She was always accessible, answered all of my questions and a delight to be around. She was truly a champion for me and can’t thank her enough or be more grateful for all of her help/advise/expertise! I would recommend her 1000 times over!

I know for a fact that I could not have made it through those first few weeks of breastfeeding without Delaney. She worked with us on helping the baby get a proper latch and different positions that would help me as the mom in different situations. She is very friendly and extremely personable! Delaney came to our house 3 separate times, and I'm SO glad we used all 3 visits! No one tells you just how difficult breastfeeding can be. I'm going to give Delaney's number to all my friends that are expecting!

Dalaney is literally a godsend! I am still breastfeeding my almost 9 month old and probably would have given up had it not been for Dalaney’s help. She is so positive and gave me the confidence to meet my goals. She has the most wonderful “can do” attitude and does everything in her power to find a way to accommodate mom’s desires (and schedule). I will be forever grateful to Dalaney! If you have any doubts about your own breastfeeding journey, look no further!

Dalaney is great, I recommend her to anyone that I can. I had no clue how hard breastfeeding was till I had my first son. The lactation consultant at the hospital offered me very little help. By the time he had his first appt with his pediatrician he had lost 10% of his birth weight. His pediatrician said I needed to supplement until I could see their lactation consultant who didn’t have an appt till over a week later. Feeling defeated, and ready to give up and switch to formula. I went to the internet as my last hope and found Dalaney. I called her and explained my situation and she said I should not wait a week and she could come the next day. She was so helpful with showing me how to get a proper latch, providing me with information, exercises, and helping me pump correctly. There was an immediate improvement AND NO MORE PAINFUL FEEDS. He gained his weight back, and I have been exclusively breastfeeding ever since. I am so thankful for her help on my breastfeeding journey. I’ve even been able to text her when I have questions and she’s responsive and helpful.

I can’t say enough great things about Ms. Young. She is very knowledgeable and an expert in all lactation services. She helped me with lactation issues I had with my twins and was able to recommend helpful tips that you won’t easily find online. She has a great and warm personality and I highly recommend her!

Delaney is a wonderful lactation consultant. I reached out to her when we were overwhelmed and confused with a 3 day old newborn who was losing too much weight and fussy from hunger. Our baby had a good latch but was not getting enough milk, despite long, frequent and painful nursing sessions. Delaney was able to diagnose his tongue tie and help save breastfeeding for our baby. She was so knowledgeable and helpful in explaining his tongue tie and offering advice and resources. We found we trusted her guidance more than our pediatrician because of the time she spent helping us understand his tongue tie and the options for getting it released. It was a lot of work, but Delaney was caring and incredibly supportive throughout. We would not have been able to make breastfeeding work without her support and guidance.

Ms. Young is an incredibly knowledgeable and helpful lactation specialist. She came to my house within 24 hours of me calling. I was in pain and losing confidence in my ability to breastfeed my second child. In just one visit she gave me the knowledge and confidence to believe that I could do it. She helped me to heal quickly and have a very successful breastfeeding journey with my baby. I continue to contact her whenever I have a concern, and she is always fast, responsive, and gives me the information I need in the moment. I highly recommend her services!

After experiencing challenges nursing my first child, we were nervous about latch and transfer of milk with our second. Delaney helped work with us on his latch and nursing positions while in the hospital and then followed up with home appointments over the next several weeks. Our newborn quickly got the hang of nursing but struggled with the bottle. Delaney provided some helpful exercises, bottle/nipple recommendations and therapy referrals when he still wasn't drinking effectively from the bottle. At 16 weeks, our infant started daycare having made progress with the bottle but not yet drinking. After a week at daycare, I'm happy to share that our little one is drinking well from the bottle and Mama, baby, and family are so grateful for all the help we received from Newday Lactation. We wouldn't have gotten here without you, Delaney. Thank you so much!

Dalaney is simply amazing! The first 48 hours of trying to breastfeed were awful. Dalaney was able to meet with me the next day and completely changed the entire experience for baby and myself. Even my husband and mom were amazed with the advice/tips and tools Dalaney provided. So incredibly happy with her support and guidance. Thank you again Dalaney!!!

If I could give Newday Lactation 10 stars, I would. From the moment I met Dalaney, she has been absolutely wonderful, caring, patient, understanding and down to earth. As a mother of 2, I was unable to breastfeed my first child, so I really wanted to try with #2. I was hard on myself, and wanted to give up several times. Not only did Dalaney join my village and encourage me to stick with it....she did it by helping me find MY plan. She made herself available via text or phone for questions at all times of the day even weekends. Whether your plan is 100% breastfeed come hell or high water, to supplement 50/50 breast and formula, or to just survive and breastfeed as much as possible, she will make a plan for you and be by your side the entire time. She is a breastfeeding cheerleader that understands real life. She will never push you to do something that you don't want to do, or make you feel guilty about the decision you make for you and your child. I am so happy to have Dalaney, as a lactation consultant and a new friend, join me on my journey to being a healthy momma doing whatever is best for my baby girl. Dalaney, thanks for being on my team!

Dalaney is amazing! I was really on the fence about calling a lactation consultant for a shallow latch. Finally I decided to reach out to Dalaney. I’m so thankful I did! She came over and within seconds we had a pain free latch. She gave me plenty of tools to keep my daughter and myself happy through out our breastfeeding journey. I only wish I’d reached out sooner. I highly recommend Newday Lactation Services!

Dalaney saved my breastfeeding relationship with my son. I was defeated, exhausted, and in pain when I reached out to her as a last ditch effort. She was able to come see us in the comfort of our home less than 48 hours later. My son was always so calm around her and she handled him with such care during what was a very frustrating process for him. She was able to diagnose the issues, develop a plan with me, and followed up with us to see how things were progressing. I would highly recommend Dalaney to anyone struggling with breastfeeding. She is responsive, encouraging, knowledgeable, and truly cares about your success!

Dalaney was everything I needed during a time when I felt lost, frustrated and unsure of myself. Since I was a little girl, I assumed having a baby and breastfeeding was going to be a wonderful, natural and easy experience. I was wrong. Honestly, if I had not found New Day, I am not sure I would have continued my efforts. With Dalaney's help, a lot of listening and understanding, I am now successful (and comfortable) at feeding my son. Today, breastfeeding is everything I dreamed it would be! Thank you Dalaney! Your knowledge, professionalism, and kind heart will forever be remembered. I cannot recommend this service enough!!!

I’ve been nursing now for eight months and could not have done so without Dalaney’s calm guidance and expertise. We met with her after several weeks of unsuccessful attempts to breastfeed. My son and I were both growing so frustrated that I was contemplating quitting. Upon examining him and observing him nursing, Dalaney immediately diagnosed his tongue tie and recommended a pediatric dentist (who happened to also be amazing) to treat it. Since then, we’ve been successfully nursing. I cannot thank Dalaney enough for enabling me to have this wonderful bonding experience with my son! It has meant the world to us and we could not have done it without her.

I second the reviews submitted. When I called Delaney during my first week home with my son, I was stressed and already forced to supplement due to a bad latch. After one visit with Delaney, I felt much better and we were able to improve the latching issues. Delaney has a wonderful personality and will put you at ease. She is very responsive and continues to correspond with me and ask about my son. Breastfeeding can be incredibly stressful, but Delaney will put you at ease and help guide you through the process.

I can not speak highly enough of Dalaney at Newday Lactation. When I called her I was dealing with a painful latch, engorgement, and a fussy newborn. Dalaney came to our house and spent two hours meticulously checking for tongue tie, assessing my daughter's latch, and doing before and after feeding weight checks. It was only through this detailed assessment that Dalaney realized my baby was having trouble transferring milk from me, but not from a bottle. By asking questions about the birth, she solved the puzzle and recommended the exact outpatient resources I needed. My daughter is now latching well, and I owe our breastfeeding relationship to Dalaney's hard work. I will be quick to recommend Newday Lactation Services to anyone who is looking for a lactation consultant!!

Dalaney is amazingly talented at her job and has the perfect personality for making new moms feel comfortable and confident. She is quick to respond to inquiries, comes to you, and provides a ton of information during her session as well as a written plan, which I personally found incredibly helpful. She will also answer any questions that come up before or after your session as well, and as a new mom you never know what might pop into your head at 3am!!! Highly recommend New Day Lactation if you are a new mom with questions and/or concerns about breastfeeding, pumping, etc. I definately plan to stay in touch with her throughout my journey!
