The Joyful Whey — Local services in Town of North Castle

If you're looking for an exceptional lactation consultant, stop your search and book Joy - seriously, she’s amazing! I only wish I had found her after my first pregnancy. I discovered Joy after the birth of my second child. As an overproducer with two premature babies who spent time in the NICU, I was overwhelmed with stress and anxiety, especially around weight gain and feeding. Joy immediately put me at ease.

She’s not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional but also warm, caring, and reassuring. Her in-home visits made everything more comfortable, and every session felt less like an appointment and more like a visit from a trusted friend who’s there to lift you out of the newborn chaos.

Joy guided me through breastfeeding, helped me establish a manageable pumping schedule, and even stepped in to treat clogged ducts - something that likely saved me from developing mastitis. She also offers prenatal consultations, which I now realize would have been invaluable earlier on.

I would recommend Joy to any breastfeeding Mom, even if things are going well for Mom and baby. Her expertise and genuine care made all the difference during a challenging time.

What truly sets her apart is her ability to develop personalized solutions. She was incredibly patient and attentive throughout our sessions, never rushing and always making sure all my concerns were addressed.

I especially appreciated how she was willing to help with baby-related questions beyond just lactation. Her holistic approach to infant care was invaluable. She worked seamlessly with our pediatrician's guidance and had excellent recommendations for helpful products that are making our journey easier.

Her warmth and supportive nature made me feel comfortable and confident. If you're looking for a lactation consultant who combines expertise with genuine compassion, Joy is absolutely the...

I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Joy! After some tough experiences with lactation consultants in the hospital, I was very stressed about how to feed my newborn. But from the very beginning, Joy was incredibly supportive of my feeding choices and always emphasized the “fed is best” philosophy, which made me feel empowered and reassured. Her joyful and positive attitude created a welcoming and comfortable environment, making every session a pleasure for our new family (including our dog!). She was highly professional and knowledgeable, answering all of my questions with patience and clarity. I never felt rushed or judged, and her encouragement helped me navigate the challenges of feeding with confidence. She was gentle and attentive to our newborn - making sure he was getting enough to eat and having the right latch. At every session she made sure to cover his growth and helped us understand his growth curve. I truly appreciated her personalized approach and genuine...
