R&R Motherhood

Aarani Montanari

ABOUT HER

Hi there, my name is Aarani and I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. I have a passion for helping mamas, babies and families on their feeding journeys and the transition to new parenthood.

My passion for helping moms began when I experienced my own difficult transition to motherhood in 2021. I struggled with breastfeeding my son and subsequently struggled with PMADs. Finding an amazing IBCLC to help me reach my breastfeeding goals as well as finding a support system of new moms saved me and helped me discover the joy in motherhood.

It is this experience that inspired me to become an IBCLC - I know how much of a difference it can make to have support in this vulnerable transition time to motherhood and I want you to know I am here for you every step of the way. I cannot wait to meet you and your sweet little one!

The Founder's Note

"Aarani is the kind of person who immediately puts you at ease. A recent transplant from California, she brings a laid back, approachable energy that's hard not to immediately connect with - but behind that cool-girl vibe is a deeply knowledgeable lactation consultant and mom who truly gets it. Whether you're navigating breastfeeding challenges, pumping, bottle feeding, or simply trying to feel more confident in your feeding journey, Aarani meets women exactly where they are. She's warm, practical, judgment free, and the kind of support person every new mom deserves to have on speed dial."
