Without the ENCOURAGEMENT, SUPPORT & KNOWLEDGE I received from Amey, Dr Becky, and my Doula Rebecca Turrigiano, I can honestly say I wouldn't have a breastfed baby. My baby girl was born with both tongue and lip ties, from the hospital she had to be placed on a bottle. This broke my heart as I wanted so badly to breastfeed. My wonderful DOULA Rebecca Turrigiano, called Amey and she was able to come right over. I continued to see Amey. She was my sole source of believing I would be able to get baby to the breast. It wasn't easy, I had to work through my babies tongue and lip revisions, her feeding discomforts associated with ties, was a slave to the breast pump, and continued to put baby to breast... BECAUSE of the help, confidence and encouragement I received from Amey. I can now say at 2mo my my little girl is exclusively breastfed!! read more

Highly highly recommend this practice! I worked with Jill and she was amazing! As a new mom struggling to get my baby to latch properly I was desperate to find help breastfeeding on a weekend. Jill was able to get me in right away and went above and beyond in providing ongoing support (including following up with us even when she was out of the office !!). I found the home visits and all of the resources Jill provided us invaluable and cannot thank her enough ! read more

We came home after our first baby with differing information about breastfeeding from each nurse, and each lactation specialist. We were confused and frustrated. We reached out to AZ Breastfed Babies a few days after with little confidence in ourselves and needing some peace of min. We met Amey, she welcomed us in and was an amazing help to us! She gave us all the information we asked for and even more! She was gentle, non-judgmental, and equipped us with so much confidence! Would highly recommend to friends, family, and stranger! Don't waste time feeling bad about how breastfeeding is going, go and get the help, it's well worth it! read more

I love Amey! My doula, Kelly Sunshine (who is also awesome, by the way!) recommended I set up an appointment with Amey while I was still pregnant as many new mamas struggle with breastfeeding. It was actually the thing I was most nervous about (more than labor!) and Amey was so fantastic. When Amey arrived (on time), I immediately felt a sense of relief. Breastfeeding had been going pretty well, but I was given conflicting information from the LC's at the hospital and was already cracking. I believe I saw Amey on my son's fourth or fifth day of life and after her visit, things improved and I was no longer in pain! YAY! She also weighs the babies pre-feed and post-feed and it was invaluable to know that he was getting food. Being a first time mom, I doubted myself often and I appreciated her reassurance. Amey has continued to be a great resource over the last almost 9 months. She recommended our wonderful chiropractor (Dr. Becky) , who helped my son immensely after he was stuck in the birth canal for hours and had a super tight neck. She was also there when we decided to get our son's tongue and lip tie revised and it was absolutely wonderful to be able to go to her breastfeeding clinics post-revision. I cannot thank Amey enough. She is beyond fabulous. I tell all my friends about her and cannot emphasize enough how she has helped our little family! read more

Jill has been a wonderful resource for my baby and me in our breastfeeding journey. Her knowledge and confidence helped with a painful latch, and she has continuously supported us through a tongue and lip ties, as well as bottle refusal. Jill is never judgmental and checks in long after the consult. We are so grateful for her! read more

If you're in need of lactation support I highly recommend AZ Breastfed Babies! I've been working with Jill and she has completely changed my breastfeeding journey! I had a rough delivery so my milk came in late and breastfeeding wasn't enjoyable. She came to my house and right away noticed my baby had a lip and tongue tie and referred us to get it fixed- even after I asked the pediatrician about it (which she said wasn't an issue). After his revisions our breastfeeding journey has been wonderful! He's growing and thriving, I'm no longer in pain and am much more confident with feeding him. Jill has gone above and beyond to support me and is always available and happy to answer my questions. I couldn't have come this far without her!! read more

As a first time mother, I was seeking help with breastfeeding my son. I worked with two different lactation consultants in the hospital, and both described my son's latch as "perfect." However, I continued to have significant nipple damage and pain. I had been living off Motrin to allow me to continue to nurse my son, yet I was determined to breastfeed him exclusively. The pain was so unbearable that my husband found Amey for me and arranged a consultation. Amey was pleasant, professional, and seemingly knowledgeable. Again, she said that my son's latch looked great, and she offered a few position pointers. I thought that I was finally on the right track, and Amey would be the one to provide me with the help and support that I desperately needed. After the consultation, Amey sent me a text to see how breastfeeding was going. Despite her positioning pointers, I told her that I continued to have nipple damage and pain. Amey was responsive at first and suggested that I use some specific creams. However, the problem was not resolved, and Amey stopped responding to my text messages. I was basically begging her for help and asking her to provide me with another resource if she could not respond or assist. Still, no response. I finally contacted La Leche League and they put me in touch with another LC who will be coming over tomorrow. If you want a LC who genuinely cares about your breastfeeding success, and not just securing money from an initial consultation, then Amey is not the LC for you. As an update, I saw the new LC and she immediately diagnosed my son with what she called an obvious tongue tie, lip tie, and bilateral buccal ties. We had the ties released and are hoping for improvement in his latch/nursing soon! Unfortunately, all of these issues were missed during our visit with Amey. read more

After being unable to breast feed my firstborn due to delivery complications I was pretty anxious about being able to breastfeed my second. My good friend had highly recommended Amey at AZ Breastfed Babies and even gave me a gift certificate for consultation. The service was incredible! They are very thorough and holistic, working with you to develop a personalized care plan which addresses all questions and concerns. Knowing they are always available for follow-up questions has been a huge comfort. Highly recommend this service! read more

If you think you need breast feeding support you should seriously consider reaching out to Amey. She is very knowledgable, professional and passionate about what she does. With my third son on the way I was determined to get a good start, especially since the first two were not that easy. I got her number from my doula but had also heard of her in the community especially related to natural childbirth and parenting. Amey came to my home when he was three days old and spent over an hour assessing both of us and explaining everything I needed to know. She identified a tongue tie on my son and suggested a doctor who was experienced in releasing the tie. When I continued to have trouble with latching and his slow weight gain she stayed in contact with me and even came back out. I know that Amey knows her stuff and because I am a nurse myself and work as a manager hiring nurses for the hospital setting. Although moms and babies is not my area of expertise, it is obvious when someone is an expert in their field and Amey is just that- an expert who is up to date on current evidence and practice. On top of that she is a kind person who sincerely cares about moms and babies. Call her, you won't regret it! read more

Amey is so amazing! Breastfeeding was delayed due to some medical issues, so Amey came to our house right after we were released to help work on breastfeeding. She did a before/after weigh in to see how much he ate, and relieve some of my anxiety! She checked in a week later to see how much weight he gained since she had been there. We had her Come back to help with some latch issues, and she gives such great encouragement! Breastfeeding is still a work in progress for us... But I know she is always there to help out! Thanks so much Amey! read more

Annie is AMAZING!! Look no further if you are in need of any kind of help. At the time my baby was going on 13 months and although I truly enjoyed breastfeeding it was time for this mama to get herself back. I reached out to Annie for a consult on weaning because I had no idea where to even begin or how the heck I was going to do it. I expressed all my concerns to her and she listened to every single one of them, addressed all my questions and even more! The best part is she continued to follow up with me to see how things were going, if I had any troubles and most importantly she provided me with words of encouragement when I was struggling. She is my life saver! read more

Oh my goodness, what would we ever have done without Jill and AZ Breastfed Babies?! We left the hospital on really shaky ground with breastfeeding and with no idea how we were going to continue due to the amount of pain and frustration I was experiencing. Jill paid us a home visit (an absolute godsend for parents of a one week old!!) and by the end of our two hour session we were nursing comfortably. It felt like a miracle! She is an absolute trove of amazing information and resources. We really can't say enough great things about her and our experience! read more

Amey was such a huge help in getting my son to latch and nurse! He spent some time in the NICU after birth so I was very worried that breastfeeding was ruined. She came to my house, was very comforting, kind, and extremely knowledgeable! She checked his mouth, tongue, and lip. She spent a lot of time with me, and answered all of my questions. She even had some things to help me in feeding him. Amey called me the next day to see how it was going and answered some more questions that I had. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is struggling with breastfeeding or just needs some extra help and advice! read more

Amey was warm and helpful. She reminded me this is NOT easy and everyone struggles with breastfeeding. She was kind and caring and I feel a lot better after having her help. Our son had a severe tongue tie and torticollis and she was very knowledgeable about it all. She even showed me the stretches again for his revision and how to help stretch his neck muscles. Thanks Amey!! I feel like I have some more good tools now. read more

Most irresponsible consultant I have ever met. I hope Amey has changed her ways for the sake of the babies whose lives are at risk. It's taken me a long time to write my review as I don't post negative reviews often. However, when a lactation consultant doesn't show up and keeps rescheduling it puts baby at risk. Also she didn't weigh our baby or adviced that we should supplement with formula as he kept losing weight. She never showed up or responded to our texts. Irresponsible! read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience with AZ Breastfed Babies. Amey met with us at home with our two week old baby. She immediately put us at ease with her down to earth demeanor and by really listening to our experience up to that point, answering our questions and helping calm our concerns. Fast forward four and a half months and Amey was able to help us come up with a plan that would incorporate our pediatricians recommendations, while helping us protect what is important to us in how we feed our baby. Amey is clinically experienced and also a genuinely warm person. As a business owner she is quick to respond, respectful of time and worth every penny she earns. I found Amey by searching online reviews and I would encourage anyone that needs help with breastfeeding to call Amey, I can recommend her without any hesitation. read more

Super thankful to Amey and her support. From birth, baby and I had a very difficult time with breastfeeding. I was ready to throw in the towel when I decided to reach out to Amey. She was easy and quick to schedule with and even accommodated meeting with me on New Year's day. She answered my questions, gave lots of great advice and reassurance. She followed up with me by text to see how breastfeeding was going. Overall great experience and four months later, baby and I are still successfully breastfeeding! read more

I would 100% recommend AZ Breastfed Babies to women that are seeking to gain knowledge on breastfeeding. I attempted to BF my first and I was determined to do it with my second. Annie and Erin are the 2 ladies that helped me. I met Annie for a consultation at 34 weeks pregnant and went over positions, latching, and suggested products; she also sent me documents on everything we went over. While I was in the hospital I then started to stress because my baby's latch just was not right and the nipple pain began; we had to start supplementing due to jaundice and I started to feel as if I could not BF once I got home. Annie responded right away regarding a home visit after the hospital. I met Erin when my baby was 4 days old- she let me know my baby had a lip and tongue tie, needed body work, latching, weighed my baby before and after his feedings, sent me referrals, videos and the list goes on. The great thing about Annie and Erin is that they are always available to communicate through the Spruce app; I can honestly say I do not wait more than an hour getting a response back. This group is very supportive and recognize your struggles. If you have not BF before and were determined like me then these ladies can help start your breastfeeding journey. read more

Amey is a heaven-send. She is full spectrum lactation consultant: general questions about breastfeeding through specific, tailored advice for each breastfeeding situation. I contacted her on a Sunday (very desperate due to my 3 day old crying due to breastfeeding extremely poorly). She responded that morning and came over the next day! She covered everything, from the health of my pregnancy, to postpartum diet, and of course everything relating to my breastfeeding journey with my little one. She kept in close contact with me (phone call/text) for any questions or concerns and even made follow up inquiries! She truly has an incredible range of knowledge of all aspects of breastfeeding; a true specialist. I am truly indebted to her for helping my 5 week old and I successfully breastfeed! Yay to happy babies! read more

New mama who is at the end of her rope reading this, call Amey now. You won't regret it. Without Amey's wisdom, I likely would have given up breastfeeding. I texted her late in the evening on a Friday and she came over first thing Saturday morning which just happened to be Christmas Eve!! I was worried about everything from my baby's latch to how much milk she was getting, if any! Not only did Amey help me with some awesome tips and techniques, she truly put me at ease. She is amazing at what she does but you will never feel like she is talking down to you. Her personality is so encouraging and warm and still so professional. She recently came over for another consult as my pediatrician felt my daughter wasn't putting on enough weight. Again she gave me some great ideas to make breastfeeding more successful for both my baby and myself. The peace of mind she provides is priceless. She wants every mama to not only have a successful breastfeeding journey but an enjoyable one. read more

Amey is absolutely amazing! As a first time mother, I panicked when my little guy wasn't latching well and making adequate diapers once I arrived home from the hospital. She came right over and had him latching within the hour that she arrived! She was very thorough with her assessment and very patient with all of my new mom questions and concerns. Most of all, I appreciate how she helped me to gain my confidence in breastfeeding by showing me the weight change from before and after a feeding. This helped to ease my mind and get my baby back exclusively to breastmilk versus supplementing with formula. My little guy gained adequate weight at his next appt and is well within the normal range! Her availability for follow-up questions puts my mind at ease and she has proven to be an AMAZING source of resources for motherhood in general! I am so grateful for her! read more

I found Amy and her service very helpful with my journey in breast feeding, she came with good recommendations from a friend & I would happily recommend as well. The experience gave me the confidence to keep going when I felt I was loosing all hope of breast feeding my little one. read more

Amey was absolutely a delight to work with. She is friendly, kind and caring and was very accommodating to come to our home for an in home consultation for our 1 week old. Don't delay contacting Amey if you are looking for a Lactation consultant, it's life changing!! Amey is awesome!! read more

Amey is great! She was able to come to our house a few days after our son was born for a consult. She showed me a couple of breastfeeding positions, checked his latch, did a quick check for tongue/lip tie, and answered our 1 million questions about breastfeeding and newborns. She also brought a scale so we could check that he was getting enough during the feeding. She followed up a few days later to make sure everything was still going well. We haven't had any issues, but we would not have hesitated to call Amey for another consult if we were having any trouble. read more

I first met Amey 2 years ago while pregnant with my second child. She was a nurse at the birth center and taught all the new mom classes. I learned so much from her, even as a second time mom. When my son was 10 months old I began to struggle with supply problems and Amey was my first contact. She helped me know where to go to get the suction on my pump checked, she recommended several strategies to help increase production and she cared. She was always available when I had questions or concerns and she was able to give several suggestions on things to try. Now, I have my third child, 11 months old, and my first case of mastitis. My natural contact was Amey. She is such a breastfeeding goddess that I knew she would be able to help. She was very prompt with her response time and gave me tons of natural remedies to try. She even helped me decide when the natural remedies weren't enough and I needed to get antibiotics to help me heal. Amey is a god sent to all breastfeeding moms! I highly recommend her and all of her knowledge! read more

Amey was so knowledgeable, kind, and very thorough. I would definitely recommend going to her. She stayed in contact with me after our appointment to check in and make sure I didn't need anything else. read more

When my week old newborn was having trouble latching and I was enduring cracked, painful nipples around the clock as we dealt with cluster feeding for days on end, I knew I needed a lactation consultant. Amey came highly recommended by my doula, so I reached out to her right away. She was able to visit me in the comfort of my own home the very next day. She was very personable and knowledgeable and worked with my husband and I so we understood everything she was evaluating in our son. Her background as a labor and delivery nurse was invaluable. She helped me to establish a better latch in several different positions so I would feel confident with my options when she left. She also took the time to review my medical history and birth to better understand all possible factors affecting breastfeeding. Amey left a personalized care plan and encouraged me to reach out with any questions/concerns as well as positive progress in the coming days. She also left a superbill with detailed instructions for submitting it to my insurance carrier for possible reimbursement. It's so hard to know when the "right" time to ask for help is, especially when it comes to a newborn baby. Amey helped me to feel so at ease with the whole situation though that I was confident I had made the right choice by reaching out. She was well worth every cent and I will definitely use her again if I need a lactation consultant in the future! read more

Amey is absolutely amazing! I am a repeat client. I waited a couple days to call her thinking as a second time mom I should have this breastfeeding thing down!... boy was I wrong. In just a few minutes she was able show me the tongue tie that was hindering baby from getting a good latch and help us to get a much deeper latch. It's absolutely amazing to know someone that will do a home visit, especially during that first two weeks of being postpartum. Next baby I will be calling Amey as soon as I deliver so we can see her as soon as we get home. She's a miracle worker! read more

I'm a mama of 4, and pretty sure footed when it comes to nursing but I still manage to come up with questions and weird scenarios it seems with every pregnancy! Amey is always there to answer my questions, offer advice and encouragement. And she's always super available which is amazing, since these questions don't always happen during business hours. I recommend Amey to every nursing friend I have! read more

Amey was so great to work with. My only regret is that I waited too long to call her. If things aren't going well for you with breastfeeding , don't wait, call! Amey came over when my daughter was 8 weeks old. After her visit, it was a steady upward slope to successful breastfeeding without pain! The biggest areas that she helped with were latching and positioning. It made a huge difference! Lastly, the fact that she comes to your home makes the whole experience more comfortable and convenient. read more

Amey is an amazing lactation consultant. She helped me with my daughter's weight gain issues during the first few weeks after bringing her home when I was struggling with breast-feeding. My daughter was born three weeks early and had trouble breast-feeding. I have the pediatricians breathing down my neck encouraging me to use formula and that's when I called Amey. She came to my home for my consultation and brought a scale to weigh my daughter. She also went over technique for latching and positions for successful breast-feeding. She didn't rush me at all and even takes post consultation text message questions. I always thought breast-feeding was going to be easy but after having issues with my daughter, I feared It wasn't going to be an option. Amey helped me through that and now I am still successfully breast-feeding my daughter. I couldn't be more thankful. read more

Amey is my top recommendation for all things breastfeeding and even for overall maternal health. Her experience and love for families is truly inspiring. Thank you Amey! read more

I cannot recommend Amey (RN, IBCLC) enough if you are in need of a lactation specialist. I was referred to Amey through my doula and immediately felt comfortable speaking with her regarding my breastfeeding struggles (primarily a supply & demand issue). She came to consult at my home within 2 days of calling her, which was imperative considering my baby was only 2 weeks old at the time. I really appreciated Amey's professional and personal demeanor and felt at ease with her immediately. She weighed my daughter before and after breastfeeding, she examined her oral structures, provided assistance with my breast pump and gave very helpful input regarding breastfeeding techniques. Despite my background as a nurse practitioner, i was completely impressed by Amey's expertise in this field. We developed a plan together to help improve the quality of breastfeeding as well as implemented a schedule to increase my milk supply. I was very grateful that Amey wrote our plan down so that I could refer to it when I was overly tired or at times overwhelmed. It has been ~3 weeks since our consult and I have had such an improvement with my breastfeeding journey. Before meeting with Amey I was close to giving up, but she gave me the confidence and skill to continue. read more

Amey Fields with Az Breastfeed Babies came to my home to help after my baby wasn't breastfeeding very well. Amey was caring, professional and a great educator. We had a lot of barriers and she addressed so much more than I knew went into breastfeeding. We made significant progress in a short time and were left with continued support and resources. I would definitely recommend this company. read more

It's taken me a while to write this review because I wasn't sure how to communicate how negative of an experience I had with Jill. I do believe she intends well, but ultimately she was extremely judgmental of multiple decisions I make as a mom. She asked me to walk her through my day, and then interjected why she disagreed and didn't like many of my FTM parenting decisions that had nothing to do with breastfeeding. I was in tears in the room and actually ended up saying "look, I'm doing my best." I ultimately ended up disregarding the majority of her input and saw another IBCLC. She may have even given me some positive tips, but I don't even remember them because the entire visit was overshadowed by the poor experience. My baby is thriving and growing even though I'm apparently doing so many things she didn't like. I think it is perfectly fine for her to have an opinion on everything breastfeeding related and even non-breastfeeding topics, but I believe she should work on her delivery and how she communicates her differences of opinions. read more

Amey is amazing and provides such loving and honest support. As a first time mom I wanted to make sure I was setting myself up for success when it came to breastfeeding my baby. With Amey's help, we have had many successful feedings since our consultation. The support doesn't end there, Amey has checked in on us numerous times and any time I have a question I know she will point me in the right direction! We look forward to working with Amey and visiting her at The Motherhood Co! read more

I cannot begin to explain how happy I am with how our visit with Amey went today! I dragged my feet big time on calling an IBCLC because over all we were kind of ok. Baby was gaining weight and no huge issues with me but small problems here and there added up enough I decided to make the call even though my husband was still on the fence. From the time she walked in I knew she was the right choice for us. We have loud dogs that scare some people but she was super friendly with them which helped calm them down. She's very professional, got right to evaluating me and the baby but I didn't feel judged at all, I felt super comfortable. After letting us do our thing she helped correct some bad habits we had, making sure to ask before touching me, which I appreciated. She found baby has a small tongue/lip tie but nothing too bad. We were given a nipple shield as a bandaid to latch issues in the hospital but she was able to help teach me how to wean off the sheild and breastfeed in a more comfortable position. I thought I had to be semi miserable breastfeeding and I some days I questioned if I was going to make it. Amey opened so many doors! I feel so empowered and like I really can do this! Not only am I more comfortable with nursing but she also gave us so many tips and resources for the future. My husband went from shrugging off the appointment to voicing how appreciative he was for all of her help. Amey is amazing! read more

Breastfeeding is a journey for a first time mom and I can't imagine it without Amey. She came to my home the day I came home from the hospital and answered all my questions plus put me at ease knowing my little girl was latching properly and getting plenty to eat! I didn't end there and I have had tons of questions along the way but Amey is always there to help me out. She has such a kind heart and is so enthusiastic about helping mommies breastfed and truly enjoy it. Just like all the other reviewers stated...she's THE BEST :) read more

Amey is AMAZING. She saved my breast feeding relationship! She gave me support during that very emotional first week, and helped me get through some very challenging obstacles, as my baby was born with a short tongue and couldn't latch correctly most times, which led to painful blisters. She's also helped a friend of mine, and I would highly recommend her to anyone! read more

My son breastfed fine in the hospital; however, once we got home I learned just how rough nights can be while trying to breastfeed a newborn. I had two friends (from different friend circles) recommend Amey as a lactation consultant. I texted Amey and had an appointment scheduled less than 24 hours later. Amey came to my house in Goodyear and was a wealth of information. Amey was kind, professional, accommodating, and incredibly helpful. After meeting with Amey, I have messaged her a couple times to ask more questions that have popped up and she is always happy to answer me. I highly recommend Amey as a Lactation Consultant. Thank you for everything, Amey!! read more
