About me

Hi! I’m Jen and I pride myself on my gentle treatment of parents and babies, which is how I came up with my practice name: Jentle Lactation. With nearly 20 years of experience, I offer warm, caring, personalized support for all kinds of feeding concerns — including latch and positioning, milk supply, infant weight gain, sore nipples or breasts, pumping, tongue tie, returning to work, and so much more. I’m a mom of three and faced some significant challenges while breastfeeding my babies, but also learned first hand how rewarding the breastfeeding experience can be. I live on Long Island with my family and our tabby cat, and enjoy podcasts, fantasy novels, and yoga.

Highly recommend! I reached out after I was getting clogged ducts and frequent engorgement. Jennifer helped me figure out a plan that worked best for me and my and my baby's needs and I've been able to successfully exclusively breastfeed as a result. I've starting donating milk this week as well which is especially exciting because before I gave birth I didn't think I was going to breastfeed at all.

Jennifer was amazing when she came to my home to help me breastfeed my twins! She was patient and a calm presence in the midst of crazy times. And she takes insurance as an added bonus! Highly recommend!
