Welcome to Beth Brownstein Lactation Support Services
I am dedicated to providing supportive breastfeeding services to all families.
I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) serving all of Fairfield County and New Haven County. Additionally I'm a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator (LCCE) teaching classes based on the Lamaze philosophy, TummyTime!™ Method (TTM) Instructor, completed Postpartum Support International (PSI) Perinatal Mood Disorders: Components of Care and have facilitated several successful breastfeeding support groups. I have worked in women’s health care my entire adult life and have been supporting families in private practice since 2004. I have a lot of practical experience as well as extensive continuing education and trainings. I'm the proud mother of two amazing women.
As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) I offer inhome visits, prenatal consults, pump and flange fit assessments, Rhythmic Movements for babies.
As a Certified TummyTime!™ Method (TTM) Instructor I offer group and individual TTM classes.
As a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator (LCCE) I teach both group and private classes based on the six Lamaze Healthy Birth Practices. The HealthyBirth Practices represent "evidence-based care," which is the gold standard for maternity care worldwide. Evidence-based care means "using the best research about the effects of specific procedures, drugs, tests, and treatments, to help guide decision-making.
I have a wide variety of hobbies and interests. I am a certified Reiki practitioner and RYT® 200, but the thing I am most passionate about is babies, birth and breastfeeding. I believe that every family deserves the benefit of doula support through out their pregnancy, labor, and birth. Lactation support during the transition into parenthood and never to feel alone or unsupported through such a momentous occasion. My role is to make sure my clients have the information to make truly informed decisions, mother the mother, and support the family as a whole.
I believe that birth is a natural, normal process that should be respected, and allowed to happen the way nature intended. That said, I understand and respect each woman's own individual philosophy of birth and will support her and her choices.
My ultimate goal is to support you in achieving the journey you desire and to help you have a rewarding and successful breastfeeding experience. Every woman, family, birth, and every baby is unique and special.
