JC Lactation Counseling

JC Lactation Counseling is a Bronx-based private practice offering in-person & virtual postpartum breastfeeding support and prenatal breastfeeding education. I offer clarity and reassurance for mothers who are perhaps the first in their families to breastfeed, seeking a holistic approach, and want to work with a lactation professional who looks like them.

Here, our mission is to provide clarity and reassurance. We are curious, empathetic and relatable, and we strive to provide you with the information and support you need to feel confident about breastfeeding.

My company’s vision is:

To provide nonjudgmental feeding support to all parents and their babies.
To normalize breast/chest feeding and promote human milk as the cultural norm
To empower marginalized populations with evidence-based breast/chest feeding information
I look forward to working with you and your baby!

If you are:

The first one in your family to breastfeed/chestfeed/bodyfeed
Having trouble latching your baby and feeling like you're ready to quit
Angry because your breastfeeding concerns are dismissed by others
Worried about your milk supply

Then you will benefit from the solid advice of someone who looks like you.

Plugged ducts
