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!
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 currently leading our adventure as he works as a travel nurse and we live out of our RV and travel 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 this travel nurse lifestyle has been 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 to help mothers virtually. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this very important time in your lives.
Hi! I am Jill Marion, an RN and IBCLC. I have always had a passion for working with parents and their babies. My journey began nearly a decade ago, when I trained as a birth doula during nursing school at Johns Hopkins University. I have been supporting breastfeeding families ever since, at several Washington, D.C. area hospitals as a nurse in labor and delivery and mother-baby units.
After the birth of my daughter, I was inspired by the incredible wisdom of the lactation consultants and new parent support groups. I loved helping fellow new parents with their breastfeeding challenges. I pursued IBCLC certification, and subsequently began working as a private practice IBCLC in Washington, D.C.
When my family relocated to Phoenix in 2019, my son surprised us by arriving nearly two months before his due date. The challenging experience of having an early baby with a prolonged NICU stay broadened my understanding of some of the unique breastfeeding challenges of the dyad involving a preterm infant.
I particularly enjoy helping my clients define their own goals and success.
