TESTIMONIALS:
Beth was recommended to me by my healthcare provider, and I understand why. I contacted her when my baby was just a few days old and I was desperate for help getting him to latch. Despite having to meet over video due to covid, she was able to identify my issue and calmly work with me to solve it. He was able to latch during our session and I will never forget the relief I felt in that moment - both physically and mentally. After our session, she followed up with helpful notes in an email, a necessary cheat sheet reminder when I was running on little sleep and trying to remember all the pointers we discussed. We scheduled an additional follow-up session a few weeks later when I felt like the feedings were not going as smoothly as they could be. She made individualized suggestions I could not have found through an internet search and again followed up with an email summary. If you are having a hard time with breastfeeding, I absolutely recommend contacting Beth.

I have had the privilege of training with Beth Shulman for two years, while she ran a breastfeeding support group at Pediatrics on Hudson. Beth brings over thirty years of experience to the job, so she's encountered every breastfeeding problem.
But what really sets her apart from other IBCLCs is not just her expertise, but her kind and nurturing approach. She always finds the time to listen to every new mom's story and offer helpful advice. Although her technique is grounded in science, the thing that clients most appreciate is her empathic presence and calm demeanor. New moms really need to be heard, and Beth gets that.
Nowadays, in my own practice as a postpartum doula, she is my favorite go-to source whenever I need professional help for my new moms.

We never met in person, but after the birth of our son Bela, you became an amazing support for our family!
Thank you so much for your wisdom, patience and generosity. And also for being flexible and open in the new pandemic situation for giving consultations online.
You helped us to turn frustration and helplessness into a learning process and working out nursing with our baby as a team.
We will never forget your help and will always be thinking of you with gratitude.

Thanks to Beth I was able to breastfeed my baby for as long as I had planned. If it wasn't for her caring and clear direction I may have just given up in the early days. Beth has both mom and baby's best interests at heart and is there to support you along the way with a kind, holistic approach and all the tactics gained from years of experience. In addition, being able to do regular weight checks was extremely valuable. If you're thinking of breastfeeding you need Beth!

I called Beth when my son was 5 months old and I was reaching a new level of anxiety and frustration with breastfeeding. My head was filled with a thousand conflicting pieces of information gathered from the internet, friends, my doula, and other lactation consultants. The moment I spoke to Beth, I felt put at ease in a way no one had been able to do. Not once did I feel judged or pushed the way I had so many times throughout pregnancy and post-partum. Beth's advice was simple and actionable. Her decades of experience were so clear to me. I left the conversation knowing exactly what to do and how. She had a way of distilling everything down and getting to what really matters. After only a few days of following Beth's advice my son was noticeably happier and more satisfied and I was overcome with relief. Our conversation left me feeling empowered to trust myself and my son. I felt reconnected to my instincts and was finally able to stop losing sleep to worry. I cannot thank her enough.
