Lactation Consultants that Accept UnitedHealthcare Oxford in New York

Mariel is so knowledgeable, kind, helpful, and nice. She made this journey feel less scary and overwhelming. Personally, I really appreciated that she had links for everything so it made it that much easier to get what I needed. I also appreciated all her advice and tips and I’m very very thankful that I got with her before my baby was born so now I know what to do once baby is born. Thank you Mariel!

Donna is truly such an amazing woman and sure knows what she is doing! As a first time mother, she came into my life at such a point of uncertainty, doubt, and frustration. When my breastfeeding journey started off rough and not according to plan, she was at our home within days. Now 10 months later, I would not be the mother I am without her. She has guided me, lifted me up, supported me, and loved me through the hardest, most beautiful chapter of my life. If you are feeling like your breastfeeding journey isn’t working out how you had hoped or it’s feeling like it shouldn’t be this hard, get in touch with Donna. She will always be there for you when you need her.

Hiring Neisha was one of the best decisions I made as I prepared for childbirth, and I would whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone. While I was initially unsure about whether I wanted to hire a doula, after interviewing Neisha I was convinced that it would be helpful to bring her on to support me and my husband before, during, and after the delivery of our first child, and I was not disappointed. I ultimately had a very positive birth experience, and I credit Neisha for giving me the preparation, knowledge, and validation needed to make informed decisions and clearly communicate my preferences during labor and delivery. Early on, she provided us with ample online resources to begin our childbirth preparation. During our prenatal meetings we developed a birth plan, practiced comfort techniques, and discussed the essentials of breastfeeding and newborn care. Throughout my labor Neisha calmly fielded our increasingly anxious calls about whether to take Pitocin and when to begin the epidural. She was a reassuring presence in the delivery room, suggesting alternative positions and providing encouragement to me and my husband through two hours of pushing. Postpartum, Neisha helped with breastfeeding, and continued to check in for several weeks after the end of our official contract as I dealt with a difficult and unexpected complication. Neisha’s professionalism and expertise combined with her warmth and sense of humor made her an invaluable part of my birth team. I would absolutely hire her again. (PS - she is also an incredible massage therapist!)
