Hi! I’m Sarah McNamara. I am an IBCLC (International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant) and a Certified Lamaze Childbirth Educator. For the past seven years I have worked at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, ranked the #1 Maternity Hospital in the US. There I help patients with their breastfeeding needs and I teach Breastfeeding and Prenatal Education Classes to expecting patients.

I am thrilled to now be able help and support families in my community in New Hampshire! I offer lactation consultations in your home and virtually over a secure, HIPAA compliant platform.

I have had the privilege of working with families from a diverse range of cultures, family structure, race, religion, sexual orientation, background, education and economic and social situations. These factors influence a family’s approach, expectations and goals for lactation. I have extensive experience working with preterm and late preterm babies and their unique feeding challenges, including multiples. I bring my experience and expertise to you so we can work together to create a plan to meet your needs and breastfeeding goals.

  • “Thank you so much- grateful for all of your support, encouragement and wonderful information, it helped me and my husband tremendously on round 1 and we’re looking forward to round 2 this summer!"

    Sarah T.

  • “We just wanted to say a big THANK YOU! We learned a ton and really valued these 2 sessions.”

    Emily M.

  • “Sarah is top notch. She has a gentle demeanor that instantly makes you feel safe, secure and calm. She is extremely educated and provides a plan before the end of your first visit. She took amazing care of my 1 month old by helping undress her in order to have her weighed, gave her a bottle while I needed to pump, basically it felt like I was sitting with a family member. Highly recommend her.”

  • I've had a really wonderful experience working with Sarah, over the last several weeks, she was nothing but caring and understanding as we went through what was the difficult breastfeeding journey for myself, and she always listen to my husband, and my concerns and make sure that we were doing what's best for us. I would recommend her very highly to anyone that seeking lactation support."
