Kathy and myself did not give up. While it is not ideal, my son was able to breast-feed for six months with a nipple shield.

Kathy Moren and the Healthy Babies Happy Moms team were lifesavers when it came to my baby and my…read morebreastfeeding success. I would recommend that any pregnant or expectant mom call Healthy Babies Happy Moms to see if a visit with Kathy is covered by their insurance company once their baby arrives. I had over production problems, and my babies were often fussy while eating. Kathy's nursing advice set us all up for success. They also offer a new moms group - specifically a breastfeeding support group, which meets once every other week in their office. If you are a new mom or are pregnant and are looking to breastfeed, I totally recommend your calling Healthy Babies Happy Moms. They will also help you figure out what pump and lactation support your insurance covers!

She is sensitive, practical, empathetic, and calming. She allows you to define and share your goals whatever the situation may be, and works hard to support you around these realistically and thoughtfully. Her guidance really cuts through overwhelming lists of dos and don'ts, etc., and she always steers clear of judgement. She's truy felt like a partner to our family and I'm so grateful. I feel very lucky she was recommended to me, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to expecting friends and family.

Highly recommend.

I sent Hilary a message at 2am after months of sleepless nights and she promptly replied the next day and set up a call for us to chat.

If anyone is thinking about a night nurse or daytime doula, I would 1000% recommend Hilary and her team.

Jennifer Greenberg is just excellent. We have a newborn and I am a first time parent and I was…read moreconcerned about latching, pumping and other things. Jennifer communicated very well with us before the appointment and during it. She has a background in education, so she explains things in a fantastic way that made me and my husband comfortable. She taught me how to latch, how to check for hunger cues and other things. She is patient, knows a lot and very organized. I am SO HAPPY with her. At the hospital I saw couple IBCLC (lactation consultant) and they were not as helpful as Jennifer - not even close. If you need her service, please do. She is an amazing human being and an excellent professional!

Reasons I gave her five stars: - she fixed our son's feeding problems right away, during the home visit. - she validated every problem/concern we had, and provided concrete executable solution. Never vague. Never hand-wavy. Never dismissing any issue. - she provided help not only for feeding, but also in exercising and sleeping. - she wrote up detailed reports after the visit. Details for my two experiences: - The first time was when my son was 11 days old. He wouldn't latch during breastfeeding, and Jen taught me how to properly latch, and how to observe his suckle & swallow ratio. She also helped me with selecting pumping flanges. - The second time I called her was a different issue. Little one likes to be breastfed but just wouldn't take a bottle. Only 0.5 to 2 oz per feed. We tried everything we can for a month but in vain. Like last time, Jennifer came to our house, and viola, my son took a full 4oz under her guidance! That's never happened before! Now that he is eating enough, he's also sleeping longer and I'm also getting enough sleep.

I cannot say enough about the amazing support my family received from the night nurses at Naps. I…read moredon't think we would've survived the newborn stage without them. While this was not a cheap investment, you truly get what you pay for with the level of care and service the team provides. I was pretty nervous about having people in the house with COVID, but the nurses were so understanding and willing to take a covid test upon arriving to our home. They always checked in to see how I was doing as a new mom and helped me troubleshoot challenges I might be having with my baby. They worked on extending my daughter's sleep so she started sleeping longer and longer stretches on the nights they did not help us. If my daughter was ready to go in the morning before I was, I would come downstairs to the nurses loving on her. They did little things to provide extra help (without me even asking) like preparing all of our bottles for the next day. The days we knew they were coming, we'd have a total sense of calm in the house all day.  The entire family enjoyed having them, even our dog wanted to be downstairs to visit. In addition to the support from the nurses who came overnight, we had access to regular calls with Ellen, who is an NP. She is a baby whisper and sleep guru. I credit the nurses and Ellen for my daughter being an amazing sleeper. If I am fortunate enough to expand my family, there is no doubt I will be calling the Naps nurses again for help. I highly recommend Naps for their night nurse services, new moms groups, baby bootcamp and online membership.

Informative, empowering, respectful, approachable, individual, caring, encouraging. But, at this point I've had my baby. I had a natural (no epi, no pitosin, etc..) birth at a major hospital. It was an amazing experience (seriously) and I owe that in large part to Zina's teaching and guidance. This is how Zina's classes helped: 1. My husband and I had learned what was happening at different stages of the birth process, and could make informed decisions once we got to the hospital, we didn't feel like we were being told what to do and instead were an active part of the decision-making process. 2. I felt confident and excited, instead of apprehensive and scared (if left to my own devices, I'd just feel scared). This made such a difference. 3. Probably the biggest difference was that when the time came, my husband and I were a team. It's natural for a partner to want to help, but oftentimes it's hard to know how, especially with how birth is portrayed in movies. Zina's class gave us a 'toolkit,' and having those options and ideas at the ready for when you don't really have time to think was key.
