Happy Clients Say…

Laura was amazing! I booked an appointment late at night during our first days home, and she was at our house first thing the next morning.
She was so knowledgeable, kind, and encouraging. She helped us with latching, made sure my pump flanges fit correctly, and even left us with a new set so I could start pumping right away.
She also followed up afterward with helpful tips and all the information we needed, which was so appreciated.
We were successfully latched and breastfeeding that same day! We are so grateful for Laura’s help and can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Laura!!

Laura was beyond professional. I had a prenatal lactation consultation and she was so informative, kind and understanding. As a pediatrician myself, I thought I knew a lot about breastfeeding, but Laura taught me so much more. She also taught me all about my pump parts and send me a list after our visit of what she recommends I order so I am prepared. Can’t wait for her to come back after the baby is born!

I can’t recommend Laura highly enough! As a first-time mom, I had so many questions and uncertainties about breastfeeding, and having her come to my home made all the difference.

Laura was incredibly patient, kind, and compassionate throughout the entire visit. She took the time to answer every question, explain everything clearly, and provide practical, hands-on guidance that immediately boosted my confidence. Her knowledge and encouragement were exactly what I needed during those early weeks.

Thanks to Laura’s support, Baby Vincent is now latching beautifully and breastfeeding has become such a positive experience. Vincent was born weighing 6 lbs. 9 oz., and at his one-month checkup he weighed an amazing 9 lbs. 3 oz.—a testament to how well he’s feeding!

If you’re looking for a lactation specialist who is knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely cares about the success of your breastfeeding journey, Laura is the absolute best. I’m so grateful for her expertise and kindness and would recommend her to any mother without hesitation.

❤

✨ Client Spotlight ✨Posted with client permission. Sydney first reached out to me nearly 3 months before her due date after seeing me recommended in a local Facebook mom’s group. As a busy pediatrician preparing to return to work, she wanted to give herself the best possible start with breastfeeding and pumping. Her goals were to successfully breastfeed, build a strong milk supply, and ensure baby Brady could both nurse and take a bottle. We met prenatally to develop a personalized plan, and she followed through by purchasing the recommended supplies and preparing before delivery. When I saw her at 4 days postpartum, she was experiencing severe engorgement, cracked nipples, and significant pain with both breastfeeding and pumping. Despite the challenges, Sydney stayed committed, trusted the process, and followed her care plan. By our follow-up visit, her engorgement had resolved, her nipples had healed, her milk supply was thriving, and Brady had excellent weight gain. Over the following visits, we fine-tuned breastfeeding, pumping on her Spectra, Medela hand pump, and wearable pump, and continued weighted feeds and latch assessments. Today, Brady is not only meeting his feeding goals—he’s exceeding them! 💙 Lactation support is a partnership. I can provide the education, guidance, and personalized plan, but success also comes from families putting that plan into action. Sydney and Brian did exactly that. Brian was an incredible support throughout the journey, even while studying for the bar exam, and together they created an amazing foundation for Brady. I couldn’t be prouder of this beautiful family. If you’re pregnant or recently postpartum, remember—you don’t have to figure it out alone. Early support can make all the difference, and lactation care is fully covered by most major insurance plans. If you’re ready to reach your feeding goals, I’d love to help. 🤍 #IBCLC #BreastfeedingSupport #PrenatalLactation #PostpartumSupport #PumpingSupport #LongIslandMoms #LauraCameraLactation

🐞 Have you heard of the Haakaa Ladybug Milk Collector? The Haakaa Ladybug is a passive milk collector designed to catch breastmilk that naturally leaks from the opposite breast while you’re nursing or pumping. Unlike a traditional pump, it does not actively remove milk—it simply sits comfortably inside your bra and collects milk that would otherwise be lost to a nursing pad. ✨ Great for: • Catching letdown while nursing on the other side • Collecting leaks between feedings • Saving every drop of milk without pumping • Reducing the need for disposable nursing pads 💡 A few important tips: • This is a milk collector, not a pump. It should not be used to build or maintain milk supply. • Pour collected milk into a storage container promptly and follow safe breast milk storage guidelines. Every ounce of breastmilk is valuable, and if you’re leaking anyway, the Ladybug can be an easy way to save milk that might otherwise go to waste. 🩷 Have you tried the Haakaa Ladybug? I’d love to hear your experience in the comments! 🐞🥛 #Breastfeeding #IBCLC #LactationConsultant #BreastMilk #HaakaaLadybug #NewMom #BreastfeedingSupport #BreastfeedingTips #MilkCollector #PostpartumJourney #ExclusivePumping #LauraCameraLactation

✨ Hand Expression: A Skill Every Breastfeeding Parent Should Know! ✨ Did you know that you don’t always need a pump to express breast milk? Hand expression is a simple, effective technique that can help you collect milk anytime, anywhere. 🤲 How to Hand Express:• Wash your hands first.• Place your thumb above your nipple and your fingers below it, forming a “C” shape about 1.5-2 inches behind the nipple.• Gently press back toward your chest wall.• Compress your thumb and fingers together, then release. Avoid sliding your fingers across the skin.• Repeat in a rhythmic pattern while rotating around the breast to drain different milk ducts. 💛 When is hand expression helpful?✔️ During pregnancy to collect colostrum (check with your obgyn first) .✔️ In the first few days after birth, when small amounts of colostrum can be easier to collect by hand than with a pump.✔️ To soften a full breast before latching, making it easier for baby to achieve a deep latch.✔️ To relieve mild engorgement or discomfort.✔️ To encourage milk flow before pumping or nursing.✔️ If you’re away from your pump or need to relieve fullness unexpectedly.✔️ To express milk after a feeding if your breasts still feel uncomfortably full. Like any new skill, hand expression takes practice—but once you learn it, it’s a valuable tool to have throughout your breastfeeding journey. ✨ Have you ever tried hand expression?
