Meet Amey
I am Amey Fields of Az Breastfed Babies LLC and I am an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a labor and delivery nurse with over 20 years of experience helping moms and babies with breastfeeding.
I am a wife and mother. My husband Steven retired from the United States Coast Guard in 2016 after serving for 30 years. He is my biggest supporter and when he is not helping me he is always helping someone else.
I have three children, Callahan, Emma, and Conner. Each one of my birth experiences have been very different and each one has shaped me to be the nurse I am today. I have experienced a natural birth with a midwife, a hospital birth with an OB, and a Cesarean birth for a persistent breech baby!
I started working as a labor and delivery nurse in 1998 and in 2010 I was given the opportunity to run the community education department at the hospital I was working at. I became Lamaze certified and began teaching childbirth and newborn care classes to expectant parents. In addition to working as a labor nurse in the hospital setting, I have also assisted with home births and spent 2 years working at a free-standing birth center. In 2011 I started a wonderful postpartum support group called Circle of Mothers that I still offer as a free weekly group today.
My main focus is helping moms and babies with breastfeeding. Thank you for visiting my website. Please click on the links above and/ or contact me for more information on consults, classes, and support groups.
I am also pet friendly so do not hesitate to let your friendly pets say hi if I come to your home for a consult!
Meet Annie
My name is Annie Rueb. I am a Labor and Delivery Nurse and an IBCLC. I have been a nurse since 2011 and have spent the majority of that time working with families through pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding. I spent a couple of years at a freestanding birth center and the last 5 years at a community hospital in labor and delivery.
My husband Sam and I have two beautiful girls together, Kai and Savannah. Sam is a nurse too and lead our adventure for 3.5 years as he worked as a travel nurse and we live out of our RV and traveled the country. Sam is my biggest supporter and a wonderful human being. Our favorite thing to do is to pack up our kids and dogs and go on an adventure so the travel nurse lifestyle was amazing. Our children inspire us with their adventurous spirit and have adjusted well to homeschooling. You can follow our adventures on IG at @livesmall.traveloften
I am grateful for the opportunity to continue to work with Az Breastfed Babies and as of July 2023 we have returned to the Phoenix area and I am excited to help mothers virtually and in person. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this very important time in your lives.
Meet Sanni
Hi my name is Sanni Estes. I have been a Registered Nurse since 2008 and a Labor & Delivery Nurse since 2016.I am originally from Germany and went to nursing school in Ludwisgburg, Germany where I graduated.
Over there I have worked at an OB physicians office as well as on a med. surgical floor in the hospital. I moved to Arizona in 2014 where I worked towards transferring my RN licence and temporary worked at a free standing birthing center in Phoenix before I was hired in Labor & Delivery by Honorhealth at Scottsdale Shea where my passion to help families with breastfeeding became more and more important to me.
My husband Tyler and I have 5 wonderful children. We have 3 kids that were born in Germany, and our two youngest have been born here in the US. My husband Tyler is a native Arizonan and works in Sales. He has been my biggest supporter when it comes to my journey to become an IBCLC which I am very thankful for. As a family we love to play with our dog in our backyard, go camping and hiking. We also love to travel, as visiting my family in Germany will also always be part of our lives.
I am so excited for the opportunity to work as an IBCLC and be part of the wonderful AZ Breastfed Babies Team. I am very passionate and happy to help families with their breastfeeding journey and cannot wait to grow more in doing the most wonderful job ever!
Meet Erin
Hi! My name is Erin Fyffe, I’m an RN and IBCLC and I have over 17 years experience working with new moms and babies. I started as a CNA in post partum and over the past 15 years I’ve worked as a full time RN in Post partum, Antepartum and even did a short stint in Home care and have been working full time as an IBCLC for the past 7 years now.
I’m a wife and a mother of two children, and we have 2 dogs at home who are beloved members of our family. I love pets, and always look forward to meeting yours! Learning to breastfeed for the first time was so much harder than I could have ever imagined. We struggled with latching issues and pain for weeks, but I was very determined, and went on to successfully breastfeed each of my children for 2 years.
Going through that struggle lit a fire in me that I never knew existed. I vowed to myself to one day find a way to help prevent other new moms from going through what I did. Breastfeeding quickly became the most difficult and most rewarding thing I’ve ever done and will forever be the one achievement I’m most proud of.
I find it so rewarding being able to help moms reach their goals (whatever they may be) in the comfort of their own homes and help them be able to discover the joy in breastfeeding without having to go through the pain that so many experience. I’m so incredibly honored and humbled by the opportunity to be able to play a small role in a new mom and baby’s feeding journey.
Meet Stephanie
Hello! My name is Stephanie, I am a postpartum nurse and IBCLC. I have been a nurse for 11 years, the majority of which working with mothers and babies at a community hospital in postpartum. Being a postpartum nurse I have had the opportunity to work with many families. But the time families spend in the hospital goes fast; I found myself wanting to give more breastfeeding support to families beyond the hospital setting! That is why I decided to become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. As an IBCLC, now I can continue working and caring for families in the comfort of their homes; working collaboratively with them to help them attain the breastfeeding life that they had envisioned.
I have 3 children, they have all breastfed and with each we had our own unique trials, experiences and joy! I am an Arizona native. I grew up in a small AZ mining town not too far from the East Valley, and settled in Queen Creek with my family. We have been in Queen Creek for about 8 years and we love it! We love the small town feel of it, but it is growing fast!
Besides supporting moms and babies, I enjoy hot yoga when I can and roller skating with my kids. I am also pretty passionate about reality TV (Hello!! The Real Housewives, Below Deck, and the Kardashians!...I know....gasp!). #FreeBritney
Meet Lauren
I was born in Canada and moved here after highschool. I can speak two languages. I learned French from kinder to 9th grade living in Canada, but haven't used it so I don't remember a lot. I'm fluent in Tagalog which is the primary language of the Philippines.
I had a poor breastfeeding experience with my first. I tried seeking help but was turned away at the hospital and outpatient. I felt horrible and decided I need to help other mothers. I went to nursing school to specifically become RN lactation. Once I starting working in postpartum, I knew instantly that l've made the right decision. I love helping and supporting families.
Meet Saundra
I’m a wife, homeschooling mom to three energetic boys, and an IBCLC who is all about supporting families through the ups and downs of breast and bottle feeding. My journey into supporting families began with my first baby, leading me to become a childbirth educator, doula, and—briefly—a wannabe midwife, until I remembered how much I love sleep.
On a personal note after years of believing asthma meant I couldn’t run, I now run long distances for fun—even completing the Chicago and NYC Marathon!
I know firsthand how challenging and rewarding breastfeeding can be, and I love helping families feel confident in their feeding journey. I see families for lactation consults in Mesa, Tempe, and South Scottsdale, and I teach a free breastfeeding class each month at Coocoon to Bloom in Gilbert. If you need support, I’m here to help—because parenting is hard enough without breastfeeding feeling like an unsolvable puzzle!
Meet Danika
Hi I'm Danika Berry! I love being with moms and babies and have a passion for education and breastfeeding. I have been a postpartum nurse, nursing instructor, and now I am a lactation consultant. It is an honor to get to see families and hopefully make an impact in their journey.
I live in central Phoenix in an old historic house with my husband, three crazy kids, and black golden doodle. We love going on walks in our neighborhood, going to church, and working on never ending projects for our house.
Meet Hailey
Hi, I’m Hailey! I’m a labor and delivery nurse and IBCLC. I have lived in Arizona pretty much my whole life and absolutely love it here in the desert. I am married to my college sweetheart and we have a precious baby boy along with 2 golden retrievers, Jack and Blue! I love my dogs more than anything and love to meet your fur babies when I come into your home for a consult!
I have loved the world of women infant services since I saw my first delivery in nursing school, I was absolutely mesmerized. I have a passion for helping moms blossom into their confidence and tap into their natural intuition. It is so important to me that parents feel empowered and well educated when it comes to all things infant feeding. Whatever your journey may be, I am here to be your cheerleader along the way and make sure you have all tools to thrive! It is such a joy to watch your sweet babies grow!
Meet Heather
I've been a labor and delivery nurse for over 20 years and an IBCLC for over 5 years. My own breastfeeding journey included nursing my oldest son into toddlerhood and tandem feeding my twins for almost a year and a half. Those experiences, along with my years of supporting families through birth and postpartum, have given me a deep appreciation for how unique every family's journey is. I truly enjoy working with parents as they welcome their babies, navigate feeding, and settle into life together.
Meet Laurynn
Hi my name is Laurynn Brockhaus Kann. I’ve been a labor and delivery nurse since 2015. I started my lactation journey as a certified lactation counselor about 8 years ago and knew then I wanted to become an IBCLC, so I made that dream a reality! I’m honored to be part of this amazing team.
I was born and raised in the south suburbs of Chicago where the rest of my family (my 4 siblings and more than a dozen nieces and nephews) still reside. Family is everything! So I go back as often as I can! I came to Arizona on a travel nurse contract in 2019 and never left. I live in north Phoenix with my husband, our baby boy, and our dramatic and stubborn husky mix.
I can’t wait to be a part of your breastfeeding journey, and I’m determined to make it a beautiful one for you and your family. It’s amazing and oh so worth it to have a team on your side and supporting you every step of the way. I can say this from personal experience, as I too sought breastfeeding help! I know firsthand how this can be the most rewarding thing you’ve ever done but also the hardest. These two things can coexist, and you’re never alone! Thanks for welcoming me into your home!
Meet Aida
My name is Aida and I am a wife and mama to three amazing boys. I have been a nurse for 13 years, I spent 9 years in labor and delivery and have been an IBCLC for 2 years now. I work as a hospital lactation consultant and out in the community. My passion for helping mamas and babies breastfeed began when I struggled with breastfeeding my own babies. I never imagined something so natural could be so difficult! My goal is educate and guide mothers during their breastfeeding journey. The best part of my job is getting to meet and connect with families and seeing them grow into confident and empowered parents!
Meet Sarah
I'm Sarah, owner of MilkSprouts. I started my career as a Registered Nurse, working in various nursing fields before earning my Master's in Interpersonal Relations (think counseling!). My own breastfeeding journey with my first child changed everything, leading me to become an IBCLC in 2018. Since then, I've worked as an IBCLC both in the hospital and through my private practice, MilkSprouts, where my small team and I support families virtually worldwide and in-person in the Indianapolis area.
I have a special passion for breastfeeding education, pumping (I was an exclusive pumper with my first!), oral function, and helping moms return to work with confidence. I'm honored to walk alongside families as they navigate feeding their babies.
Meet Alexandra
My name is Alexandra Malve. I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with a background in global health and psychology. I have been supporting families with breastfeeding since 2021. My experience includes working in a hospital setting on the mother-baby postpartum unit and NICU, as well as in a holistic birthing center, where I collaborated with midwives, MDs, postnatal yoga instructors, and bodyworkers.
I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based care to help parents meet their feeding goals—whatever they may be. I believe in a holistic approach that nurtures parent-infant bonding while offering tailored, practical support.
When I’m not working with families, I love hiking, visiting coffee shops, taking yoga classes, and reading. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work at AZ Breastfed Babies, and I look forward to supporting you on your breastfeeding journey!
Meet Lauren N
Hi, my name is Lauren N. I’m a nurse and an IBCLC. I’ve been a nurse since 2015 and have worked mostly in labor and delivery/postpartum. I’m a wife and have three littles, including twins, whom were all breastfed with their own challenges.
I started my nursing career in a very small hospital where there were not many resources and lots of moms struggled to breastfeed. My goal after seeing the defeat in so many of these moms was to become an IBCLC. I have learned so much and love that I get to share this knowledge by helping moms and babies on their breastfeeding journey through AZ Breastfed Babies.
