    The best of times on the boob and a comfortable exploring baby! Thank you AnnMarie!
    Melissa S.

    AnnMarie saved the day! If I could give her 10 stars I would! Baby girl was gaining weight and all seemed well, except my boobs and nipples! I was experiencing the worst latch pain and engorgement! It was a lot to manage in those first few days at home, and I really needed help. I met AnnMarie, as what feels like by fate! She came to my house, guided me in how to hold the breast and present to baby, latch positions and techniques, latch assessment, expressing, pump management and flange fit, bra fit, suction and just overall support! She then followed up with an email of what we talked about with resources and suggestions! She answered all my questions. It was AMAZING and because of her we are going on 5 months strong of breastfeeding! Santa Rosa is so lucky to have such a great resource. I could not recommend her enough! She is a wealth of knowledge, and not to mention so tender and kind. I ten thousand percent recommend her as part of your postpartum team!

    Annmarie, lactation specialist and one of her happiest clients.

    Annmarie is a fantastic resource for any new parent. It's been great to know her not only because of her knowledge and wisdom as a lactation consultant but also because of her charismatic and joyful approach. She offers zoom and in person meetings that make it very convenient to schedule with her. I feel so confident because of all the advice, support & positive feedback Annmarie has given me. I was introduced to Annmarie through a friend who said she was amazing and recommend her to my friends who could benefit from her work. My baby loves her too!

    Annmarie is the best lactation consultant I've ever used. I was struggling with PPA and latch issues after the birth of my first baby and I was so close to giving up and switching to formula. I struggled to find a lactation consultant that could help without being pushy or aggressive. Until I found Annmarie. Annmarie was not only super patient and comforting, but she was calm and followed my lead. She wasn't pushy like some LCs and she even continued to check in with me after my daughter finally latched. She genuinely cares about you and goes above and beyond to ensure everything is ok. My postpartum experience wouldn't have been the same without her. I reached out to her after the birth of my second baby and she was right there to help us from the beginning. Her calm and professional assistance helped me have a successful nursing journey with 2 babies and I will be forever thankful.

From the very beginning of our breastfeeding journey, I felt overwhelmed, uncertain, and honestly ready to give up, but Terry changed everything. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, but she brings so much warmth, empathy, and encouragement to every session. She met me exactly where I was, never made me feel judged, and gave me practical, realistic steps that actually worked. Every time I talked with her, I walked away feeling supported, confident, and hopeful again. Terry didn't just help me learn how to breastfeed, she helped me believe I could do it. I truly wouldn't be where I am today without her. My baby and I are thriving thanks to her guidance and care. If you're even thinking about getting help with breastfeeding, pumping, or anything lactation-related, don't hesitate. Terry is absolutely the best there is.

    If you're planning to breastfeed your baby, you need to work with Terry!…read more I was so close to giving up and switching to formula. I had already seen two other lactation consultants -- one in the hospital and another at my pediatrician's office -- but I just couldn't replicate their techniques at home. Out of desperation, I reached out to Terry after reading her incredible reviews, and she completely turned things around for me. She came to my house the next day after reaching out and got my baby to latch immediately. She taught me a technique that was simple, effective, and easy to repeat on my own. Thanks to her, I've now been breastfeeding successfully for over two weeks with zero issues. Terry, you are amazing! Thank you again!

    I just completed Lisa's Starting Solids + Infant CPR & First Aid session and I cannot recommend her…read moreenough. From the very first message, Lisa was incredibly responsive and when I spontaneously asked if my neighbor could join, she made it happen super easily. Lisa came to our home to do the course, which made the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. The course itself was hands-on, thorough, and genuinely confidence-building. I walked away feeling truly prepared, not just for starting solids with my baby, but for handling emergencies calmly if they ever arise. You can tell Lisa doesn't just teach this material, she really cares about it and she cares about the people she works with. This was actually my second time working with Lisa. I first met her as a lactation consultant and both experiences have been equally wonderful. She brings the same warmth, expertise, and dedication every time. Thank you, Lisa!

    After a particularly rough night of breastfeeding with my son, I contacted Lisa at South Bay Baby…read moreCare after finding her glowing reviews here on Yelp. I emailed Lisa regarding her availability and pre-checked with The Lactation Network, the company she contracts with, to make sure everything was good to go with my insurance. I heard back within 24 hours from both TLN and Lisa; we were able to set up a home visit appointment within the week. Lisa was extremely friendly and professional during our sessions. She helped measure me for new pump flanges, made suggestions for positioning comfort, and observed my son feeding to make a diagnosis regarding potential latch issues. She offered a number of oral exercises to help my son's latch and provided an EXTREMELY THOROUGH folder with pictures and descriptions of the exercises so I was not relying solely on memory. The folder also had a ton of other useful info from breastfeeding tips and tricks to local professionals, including pediatric dentists and OTs. Lisa also provided a comprehensive write up for my son's pediatrician with her observations and recommendations. Like the folder she provided, it was extremely thorough and detailed. Her professionalism and attention to detail is next level and she is incredibly nice and easy to talk to. I never felt judged or unheard. We scheduled a follow-up in-home appointment which was just as helpful as the first session. A few weeks later Lisa, followed up by email to check-in to make sure my son and I were doing well. She cares about her patients and I know that I can reach out if we run into any other issues. If you are struggling with breastfeeding or latch trouble contact Lisa! She's wonderful!

    The Best IBCLC Ever -- Julie Changed My Whole Breastfeeding Journey…read more I cannot say enough amazing things about Julie. With my first baby, I had to exclusively pump due to a tongue tie already released, and the constant pumping and bottle washing while sleep-deprived traumatized me. When I was pregnant with my second, I wanted so badly to nurse--but by day 4 postpartum, I was crying alongside my screaming baby because I just could not get her to latch. I felt like a complete failure all over again. I paid the travel fee for an in-home visit, and Julie was worth every single penny and more. She walked in and got my baby to latch right away! Her calm, knowledgeable presence instantly shifted everything (I'm sure she could tell I'd been crying minutes before). Her social media content is incredibly helpful no matter where you are in your feeding journey, but having her in person was life-changing. Even though I needed a nipple shield (the one she provided which was better than the hospital's!) for 4 months and my supply was just enough, I was able to nurse for 13 whole months while going back to full-time work at 4 months postpartum--something I never imagined possible as a mom who only knew exclusive pumping and tongue ties. I credit that entirely to Julie. She gave me hope, confidence, and the practical guidance I desperately needed. Julie, I hope you know the work you do truly makes a difference. I refer every mom I know who wants breastfeeding support to you. You are the best IBCLC ever!

Her knowledge is incredible, but what really sets her apart is her compassion and ability to meet you exactly where you are -- emotionally, physically, and mentally. Julie helped me navigate latching issues, supply concerns, and all the emotional ups and downs that come with early breastfeeding which made such a difference in my confidence as a new mom. Thanks to her, breastfeeding became not just manageable but actually a bonding, positive experience for me and my baby. Julie is a true gem, and I can't recommend her enough to any parent needing guidance and gentle, expert care.

    We started working with Veronica as our postpartum doula when our son was born. From the very first…read morenight with her, we knew he would be in wonderful hands. She has the rare gift of balancing a reassuring confidence with a nurturing and calming presence. (She also has a great sense of humor, which can be a welcome breath of fresh air when you're exhausted!) As a first-time dad, I especially appreciated the reassurance and guidance she brought into our home during those early weeks. Our son felt instantly comfortable with her, and she even coined a nickname for him that has stuck to this day! Through her guidance, support, and newborn care education, she truly helped us get off to the best possible start as new parents, and we're hugely grateful for her. After the first month of working with her, we decided to continue with a series of sleep coaching sessions. When she returned after a couple of months away, it felt like no time had passed -- our son definitely remembered her. Just two weeks in, and our 3-month-old is already sleeping 8 hours. It honestly feels like a miracle. Thank you so much, Veronica -- we truly appreciate your care, your guidance, and the confidence you brought into our home during such an important time. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for exceptional postpartum support, newborn care education, guidance for new dads, or sleep coaching -- she truly makes a difference.

A huge chuck of cash up front as retainer is a little iffy you have to think about it Because there is no garentee in anything at all if she be a good fit .... Or her partner is... once you pay half the money upfront weather you like her or not This is it . You won't get your money back So you take your risk .... I think anything more than 2000$ as retainer fee especially not with agency is scammy to me unless you been introduce n recommended by family friends n you know them etc .... Not saying they scam you just that if it turnout not being a great fit there is no refund So need to double think before anything ....

    I took two classes at The Pump Station -- Baby 101 and Breastfeeding, and cannot recommend them…read moreenough. Both classes were led by Barbara and Corgi, who were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and relatable. From the moment we walked in, they made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. What I appreciated most was how interactive the classes were. They encouraged lots of questions and really engaged with the group, which made the experience feel personal rather than overwhelming. They struck the perfect balance of being informative while keeping things fun and lighthearted. So much information can be stressful but the way it was presented was easy to digest. I loved doing it with my partner and think it was such a great way to get him more involved in this process that can lean so heavily on the mom. Beyond just the classes, The Pump Station offers so much! Mommy and Me, classes for Grandparents, Car Seat Installation, Stroller consultation. They also have a great gift store and registry program!

More importantly, their website said the stroller I wanted was in stock and available in 4 hours for pickup, but when I got there it wasn't available for purchase and it had to be ordered. When I brought it up to the cashier, he said it was because they have it in store their inventory but not at the store? Huh?? After doing more digging I saw there was a "Terms and conditions" asterisk in fine print you have to click on to find out this information. All I saw was the green check mark that says "In stock and ready for pick up in 4 hours." Any other place I have ever been to- this would mean it would be in stock at the store. When I brought up, calmly, that this was confusing and they should fix it because I drove two hours to get to the store. The cashier said nothing. Not a "Aw geez, I'm sorry. I can understand your frustration and why that's confusing." I'm a reasonable person. I've worked in customer service all my life. The demeanor of the cashier alone has put me off from ever visiting this store again or recommending it. We went to Uppababy a few blocks down and they were SOOO kind that it completely made my day. All I needed was some kindness. To the owners of the Pump Station- the people using your website are most likely VERY tired moms. I personally am getting 3-4 hours of sleep a day. Tired moms need clear signage if something is in stock or not. Time is precious in this season of life. We also need KINDNESS. My body is broken and recovering from giving birth. I am exhausted! I would expect a place who sells baby items to understand this. Overall, would never recommend this place and will tell everyone I know that it was an awful experience.

Linda was able to come out asap and she very much helped me! We realized he did better on a nipple shield and have been using one the last two weeks. He's been getting stronger and able to breast feed no problem. During our first session, she was able to confirm that my insurance would cover a postpartum Doula. So I get 11 sessions through Kaiser, which has been wonderful! So Linda comes to my house once or twice a week to help me in my recovery and breast-feeding journey. It has been really nice to have the support and the help. She's really been great! We will be working on getting him off the nipple sheilds, hopefully in the next few weeks. But having the help at home has really been great as well as the lactation support. I would definitely recommend calling her and seeing if you were insurance will cover visits from her.
