I scheduled an appointment with Indy Lactation Care when I noticed that my newborn was eating less. I was able to make my appointment for the next day and Monica came to my house. She was amazing. She weighed my baby (confirming that he had lost weight since his most recent pediatrician appointment) and found that he had a tongue tie. She referred us to a great local dentist who does corrections and recommended switching only to bottles to ensure our little one gained weight. A week later, she reached out to me to ask how things were going. I confessed that they weren't good and she came back to do another weighing. My baby had lost even more weight. I was distraught and really worried (and had been for a few days). Monica was the comforting voice I needed to encourage me to seek medical help (See my review for Riley Hospital to hear how that went). In the end, my baby had a pretty serious health problem and his poor eating was a symptom of that. Thankfully, he is well now and I am eternally (really - eternally) grateful that Monica was there for me. Babies are confusing and I have only been around my two. Monica, on the other hand, had decades of medical experience as well as her own children, and she was exactly who I needed to give me the encouragement to get further help. I have stopped nursing because of all that our baby had to go through (and me, too) - but I know without a doubt that I will be making appointments with ILC if I have another baby. And I whole heartedly recommend them to anyone. read more

Indy lactation Care is amazing. They make it easy for you by coming to your home with all the tools and making you feel so comfortable. Kathy came to my home to work with me and my little one when my baby girl was 5 days. Kathy spent a lot of time with us and let us ask many questions and never made us feel inadequate or rushed. She was encouraging. We did a weigh feed, Kathy showed me different feeding positions, helped with latching and massaging to get extra milk out of the breast in order for the latch to be a little less painful. I can not say a month in, my baby latches easily and I no longer need a nipple shield. At the end of the session, I got a list of things to work on and suggestions on things I can do to help successful breastfeeding for the future. Not only was I left with a helpful list but Kathy encouraged me to follow up and text her whenever I needed, which was comforting and made me know she really cared about me, my little one and the succession of my breastfeeding journey. read more

Kathy possesses high levels of expertise, professionalism, and skill in providing assistance. Also, her wonderful personality is patient, gentle, comforting, and encouraging. Kathy has provided valuable services to my newborn son in his early life and to my wife in her new role as a mother. Not only is my family blessed to have Kathy helping us, but we are fortunate to even have such a talented practitioner in the region. I would be surprised if anyone in Indianapolis could match Kathy's combination of expertise and personality. It goes without saying that I would highly recommend Kathy to anyone. read more
