About a week after I left the hospital and started having trouble with patch and I ended up bottle feeding. I read an implemented every single trick I heard online and nothing helped. In just one session with Jennifer we were exclusively breastfeeding and he was gaining about a pound a week. The problem was resolved in one session but I'm glad I ended up buying a package of 3. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was nice to have her come and follow up a few times just to keep checking his weight and help with changes that came up- we were having a harder time with one side than the other. So she helped me figure out ways to make it more comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She was also full of great referrals and other tools that were helpful postpartum[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend. I wish I would have booked her before I gave birth to come meet me at the hospital. I delivered at Hoag and surprisingly they didn't have any lactation support after delivery read more

I found Jen during the wee hours of the night while I was 2-3 weeks post partum desperate for help. My son was SGA and he was not gaining weight at the time. I was worried and not sure what I was doing wrong. I felt pressured for him to gain weight because our pediatrician is suggesting we try formula and if there was no change then it would warrant more pokes. I was really determined to exclusively breast feed if possible. Jen responded immediately the morning after and came same day ! She reassured me that my baby was able to move milk after checking his weight before and after feeds. She taught me and my husband how to fix his latch and gave me tips to make feeds more productive since he was a sleepy feeder. She also helped me get started on pumping and helped me figure out the best settings for my spectra. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She was also readily available when I had questions via text.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall she's a great resource and I would recommend her to anyone that needs lactation help.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Jen is so wonderful and caring and will come to your home![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think that is truly invaluable when you're newly postpartum and aren't able to easily leave your home with new baby. It is so reassuring to have Jen come and check on your babies weight and see how much breastmilk they take in after a feeding. She also teaches you techniques to help your specific baby latch. All babies are just a bit different--and trying the same things with my second (as I did with my first child), just did not work for me. Jen was able to help me successfully reach my goal to breastfeed my second baby for the first six months of her life. We did have to supplement her feeding with formula, but it all really worked out with Jen's help. Thank you Jen! read more

As a new mom, breastfeeding was probably the most daunting thing about the entire process. Questioning my sanity, I found Jen in the Knick of time and she was able to pop into my home (this is mega convenient as a new momma) and give me a piece of mind that I was feeding my new baby enough to combat the new momma hormones. She's a trustworthy friendly face in a sea of new medical professionals who came over with tips and tricks for more than just breastfeeding! I look forward to continue working with Jen as my baby grows in the first year. Do not hesitate to work with Jen! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Shout out to Jen for all her amazing help![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't have the best experience with lactation in the hospital and reached out to Jen when I noticed my baby didn't seem happy with eating and wasn't gaining weight well.

Jen is a life saver! I had her on my radar when I was pregnant because I knew I wanted to breastfeed and that I needed support.

I love how responsive Jen is and I feel very supported by her. Thank you, Jen! read more

Wish I could give more than 5 stars!!! I was 4 days postpartum and in tears from extremely painful breastfeeding when my husband and I found Jen and called to make an in-home appointment. Her warm and friendly bedside manner immediately made me feel better during a very vulnerable time. She helped me and my newborn find a better latch, better positions to feed, and we saw immediate results. Finally I wasn't in as much pain! I truly don't know what I would have done without her expertise. Since that first meeting, we've been connecting consistently via Telehealth and she's been so helpful as I made the transition to exclusively pumping and managing my breastmilk supply as the months went on. She is the very best and I can't thank her enough for the care she provided for our family. Moms, look no further if you're in need of a lactation consultant!!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Jen is amazing! I reached out to her desperate for help because my baby and I were having latching issues.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had to exclusively pump with my first and was terrified to do that all over again.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]She checks in weekly which has been so helpful through the postpartum haze.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We do weekly weight checks and latch checks and it has had such a positive effect on my BF journey this time around.

I cannot recommend Jen enough! Even though we had seen an IBCLC in the hospital, I still did not feel like I had enough guidance to really give me the confidence I needed to continue BF. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She made a last minute house call when we were desperate- our baby was very small and we were having difficulty feeding.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She came equipped with so many tools and tricks to help. Even though her services aren't covered by my insurance her out of pocket cost was well worth the investment so that our baby was properly fed. We are so glad we went with Jen read more

I highly recommend Jen!! She is an experienced, compassionate and dedicated lactation consultant in the Long Beach area.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Jen saved my breastfeeding journey.

After our consultation and decided to stick with EPing, I had other questions regarding my flange fit and Jennifer responded quickly and squeezed me into her schedule same day! She also checks in on me to see how things are going and I appreciate it. Thank you Jennifer! :) read more

Life changing!!! My baby girl didn't take a bottle before I met Jen. Like at all. Then come Jen to the rescue. I thought I found every possible tip online to overcome bottle refusal, but when she came over she recommended some bottles and ideas we hadn't tried. It took trying a few of her suggestions and finally, things just clicked! Jen is super knowledgeable and kind. She checked in on me after our session, which I really appreciated. You can tell she really cares! Before meting Jen, I had to take my daughter and our nanny with me when I've had work meeting I just couldn't miss. It wax awkward and annoying for everyone. I'm excited to say that today I was able to attend a meeting with the baby and nanny in tow!! All thanks to Jen. If you're having any feeding issues, reach out immediately. The only thing you'll regret is not reaching out sooner. read more

I am incredibly grateful I reached out to Jennifer for help with breastfeeding. I'm a first time mom who had a c-section and waiting for my milk to come in while my demanding hungry baby kept crying really tore me up. After several days of feeling like an utter failure, I contacted Jennifer and immediately she started providing support via texts. She then stopped by my home over the weekend to provide me with so many necessary tips and guidance on how to properly get my baby to latch correctly and get adequate milk. She also really helped reassure me that I was actually producing more milk than I thought. I would not have known that without her professional assessment. She has a very calming disposition, but you can tell she is tremendously passionate about her job. She continues to make herself available to me whenever needed via texts or a home visit. I don't think I could have successfully navigated the breastfeeding journey without her. There's something to be said about reading tips online versus getting actual guidance in person. I highly recommend her, especially for any anxious/struggling moms out there. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Jennifer is amazing! I was having such a hard time breastfeeding, wanted to give up 2 weeks in but Jennifer helped me make sure baby latched well and offered lots of support to keep me going![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 3 months in and our EBF journey has been wonderful!! Definitely recommend :) read more

This review is long overdue, but I had to share how incredible Jenny was for us during a really tough time with breastfeeding. Right after our baby was born, we were having a hard time with latching, and it felt pretty urgent. We got Jenny's number from a recommendation, and it was the best call we ever made. Jenny has a ton of experience in and out of the hospital as a nurse, so we felt really good about trusting her. Jenny came over a couple of times and was just what we needed and more! She's super calm and kind, and helped us figure out breastfeeding and feel a lot more confident about it. I really wish we'd found her sooner. If you're having any trouble with breastfeeding, don't wait--get in touch with Jenny. She's a total game-changer and a great support to have. Thank so much again, Jenny read more

Jennifer is extremely sweet and caring! She asks what your goals are and helps without any judgement or opinions. She also makes herself available over text and phone anytime and always checks up on how you are doing. Very grateful to have had her help! read more

Jennifer is the BEST! First-time mom here and I had a rough start to breastfeeding -- Jennifer made me feel so comfortable and gain confidence and gave me reassurance that I was doing a good job. She was always so helpful and showed me different techniques. I had a drop in my supply when I started primarily pumping, Jennifer was super responsive and so helpful to me that I was able to increase my supply and build a freezer stash! My baby is also so comfortable with her and always smiling when he sees her. She makes us both feel at ease. She has been so flexible with my schedule changes and I really appreciate that. She's so wonderful and I highly recommend her lactation consultant services, a must for first-time moms. Thank you Jennifer! :) read more

Highly recommend! Jennifer is not only knowledgeable and experienced but compassionate and caring.

Jennifer has been a god send for me on my breastfeeding journey! I had my baby on 12/21/21, and I asked for a lactation consultant right away. Unfortunately they were short staffed and LC is first to go, which is a horrible disservice. Anyway, I was taught by a nurse in a matter of 5 minutes how to breastfeed. Fast forward two days later and we are home- I didn't know what I was doing, my nipples are bleeding, and I was feeling defeated. I found Jennifer on Yelp, reached out, and she was at my house the next day!! Jennifer was amazing and offered me tons of support! She reassured me that I was producing plenty of milk despite the hospital saying I should supplement with formula. She also showed me positions that were comfortable for me and my baby to truly get the deep latch. My baby had a tongue/lip tie that couldn't get revised for weeks, but Jennifer was able to help me and baby out so much that my daughter gained weight each appointment. She's 8 weeks old and almost 12 pounds! Her birth weight was 7lbs 8oz. Jennifer has come over a few times since that initial visit and keeps bringing me more knowledge: how/when to pump, how to help with engorgement, and new BF positions. Not to mention, she responds to all my texts promptly. Recently, my baby girl decided she doesn't want my boob. Jennifer came over, gave us tips, and by the time she left, baby girl was back on the boob! I can't recommend Jennifer enough! read more

I can reiterate what the previous reviews have said...if I could give more than 5 stars I would. Jennifer had excellent communication and was able to come out the day after I contacted her. She was attentive and really listened to my wife's concerns/questions. She had excellent advice and we can say that she helped us a ton. Our insurance didn't cover it, but it was WELL WORTH the money spent as she is amazing. She has even checked up on my wife and made herself available if needed. 100% recommend! read more

Jen is a life saver! I couldn't get my little 4lb preemie to latch properly and saw two other LCs before Jen. We were struggling and I almost gave up and exclusively pump. I told myself I'm going to give it one more try before I throw in the towel. Along comes Jen who got him to latch the second try and he's been BF fine since! Whenever we had any challenges, she was a text away to offer advice or a home visit! Highly recommend seeing her for anything lactation! read more

It was so great working with Jen! I was really struggling to get my baby to latch and Jen made the expe so easy and helped me get really confident with breastfeeding. Now my baby is a super star with feeding! She's so nice to work with and very comfortable to be around and would recommend her to everyone! read more

Jennifer was extremely helpful at making sure I was set up for success to breastfeed. I had a lot of anxiety after having difficulty feeding my first kid and Jennifer listened to all of it and answered all of my questions. It was always easy to text her and set up appointments and I really appreciated the weight checks and get suggestions. read more

The lactation lady knows her stuff! We experienced several on-staff consultants while my wife was recovering in the hospital from her C Section with our first baby. We had were met with limited success, they all gave use the same tips and moreover, no one gave us the real deal on when to pump and when to supplement. Meanwhile, our baby was drying out! I contacted several lactation specialists as we prepared to leave the hospital. A few responded (one demanded a non-refundable Dow payment for the consult). Jennifer, on the other hand, showed genuine concern and empathy, and just wanted to help. We've had her over to our house twice. She's very respectful of COVID masks and regulation, and put us on the right path for success. Gave great advice about nipple care, supplementing, technique and equipment. Highly recommend!!! read more
