Welcome new Parents!

We are excited that you are here

I’m Ashley Robinson — an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and Doctor of Public Health with a research focus on breastfeeding outcomes. I’m here to help new and expectant parents navigate their breastfeeding journey with confidence, backed by evidence-based care and genuine support.

Whether you’re struggling with latch, low milk supply, tongue tie, or simply need reassurance that you’re doing it right — you’re in the right place. I offer in-home consultations throughout New York City (including Brooklyn, Manhattan, and The Bronx) and Western Connecticut, as well as virtual consultations for families anywhere.

Every visit includes a thorough 60 to 90-minute assessment plus one full week of follow-up support by phone, text, or email. Partners and support people are always welcome — research shows that when partners are actively involved, breastfeeding outcomes improve significantly, and I’d love to include yours.

The Supportive Partner: The Expert Guide for Dads Supporting Breastfeeding- How to Be Confident, Helpful, and Connected from Birth to Weaning

The ultimate handbook for new dads and partners who want to support breastfeeding with confidence, empathy, and purpose.

Becoming a parent is overwhelming-and when your partner is breastfeeding, it can be hard to know where you fit in. This book gives you a clear, judgment-free guide to showing up in ways that actually help, from the delivery room to the middle-of-the-night feeds.

Written by an experienced International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), The Supportive Partner gives you the practical tools, emotional insight, and straight talk you need to be the kind of partner your baby and your partner can count on.

Inside, You’ll Learn:

  • What breastfeeding is really like in the first days, weeks, and months-and what to expect
  • What to say (and what not to say) when your partner is frustrated, in pain, or unsure
  • How to help with night feeds, pumping, and bottle prep-even if you’re not nursing
  • When to call for professional help-and how to advocate for your partner’s needs
  • How to bond with your baby and build a strong, equal partnership from the start

Perfect for:

  • First-time dads or non-birthing partners
  • Couples preparing for birth
  • Baby showers or new dad gifts
  • Doulas, childbirth educators, and lactation consultants who want to include partners

"Truly the best thing I have done for myself postpartum. Ashley is so kind, knowledgeable, and non-judgmental. I learned so much from her during our visit and I am so greatful to have found her. Book a session with her- you will not regret it."

"After coming home from the hospital with my newborn I was in total shock and still had so many questions about how to breastfeed my baby. Ashley very patiently answered my millions of questions, she confirmed that my newborn was latching well, and she even offered to bring me a coffee! She was also available in the weeks after to answer more of my questions by text. Ashley is warm and knowledgeable. She not only provided me and my baby with excellent care but she gave me the peace of mind and confidence I needed at a time that was very very stressful for me. Six months later I am still happily breastfeeding and well on my way to making my goal of breastfeeding for a full year, and I have Ashley to thank for that!! I still refer to notes that I took with her to help me continue on my breastfeeding and pumping journey. Thank you Ashley!

"Ashley was exactly what I needed to kickstart our feeding routine. Ashley responded promptly within 1 business day, was able to slot us in for a visit ASAP. She was knowledgeable and took her time to get to know us and the baby, and to answer all of our questions. She was factual and really careful about not expressing or pushing a preference on us- I felt supported and was able to get a lot of information about different types of feeing as well as confirmation about approximate intake amounts due to a weighted feed! Lastly, she was great about my follow up questions. I would highly recommend- She's knowledgeable and has a non-judgemental, factual bedside manner that is great for a first time mom!
