She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and naturally wonderful with newborns. Not only did our daughter thrive under her care, but my husband and I were finally able to get much needed rest and feel more confident as parents. Jacqui also taught us so much along the way and always made us feel supported, never judged. We are so grateful for her help during those early months and truly cannot recommend her highly enough to any family looking for a compassionate and highly skilled doula.

She was kind, caring, and always made us feel supported. She truly felt like the big sister I needed during such an important time. The only downside of my experience was the lactation support. I only attended two sessions because, unfortunately, they were very stressful. During the first visit, the lactation consultant arrived late, seemed rushed, and left me with a few nipple shields that ultimately didn't work well for me. At the end, I didn't end up using them because they weren't helpful. The second session felt very similar. It also felt rushed and stressful, and my baby became stressed as well. Because of those experiences, I decided not to continue with the lactation sessions. Overall, I'm very grateful for Katie's support, and she made a huge positive difference during our postpartum journey.

She is so knowledgeable when it comes to breastfeeding and has the best advice and tips on positions and excercises to help baby latch better. She is also very skilled at assessing oral ties, but is not pushy in any way to get them released. If you do decide to release a tie, she has a list of people she recommends who are all great too. The support she gives is amazing. she is always so calm and kind and truly cares about helping you. It makes you feel really comfortable. Breastfeeding is not easy but having Julie is a godsend!!

She also educated me on flanges and I was using the wrong one thinking I knew everything as this was my second breastfeeding journey. She was beyond kind and took so much time with me to really assess and help me along in my breastfeeding journey! I was so thankful to have this help and now an amazing lactation provider! Every breastfeeding woman should have a Julie in their life!

Juliana was a major help during a very vulnerable time. I booked multiple at-home lactation…read moreconsultations when I was freshly postpartum, and she provided personalized and thorough after-visit reports to support my breastfeeding journey. I was dealing with blood blisters, a poor latch, doubts and fears about supply, and a baby that was temporarily not gaining enough weight. As a first-time mom, it was extremely stressful, and there were many tears. However, Juliana's visits always left me feeling more informed, reassured, and capable. We also did a weighted feed during every visit, which confirmed that my baby was indeed getting enough to eat. I still remember the relief I felt when I learned that. Juliana is a big reason why I decided to stay the course with breastfeeding. (Thank goodness, because now I LOVE it.) My insurance covered the cost of the visits, so I just paid the $60 travel fee. I also attended her breastfeeding class with my husband before giving birth. This was super helpful, but I recommend taking the class within 1 month of your due date. We took it a bit too early in my pregnancy, and forgot a couple things by the time I gave birth. Overall, I would highly recommend booking a lactation consultation with Juliana if you're in need of support!

My husband and I visited Babies in Bloom in Vista, California while trying to figure out what…read morestroller and car seat would be best for our first baby--and wow, we are so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with such warmth and kindness. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely helpful, not pushy at all. They patiently answered all of our (many!) questions and helped us compare different stroller options based on our lifestyle and needs. We left feeling confident in our decision, which is such a huge relief as first-time parents! The store itself is absolutely adorable--full of the cutest baby items you can imagine, from thoughtful gifts and baby clothes to nursery must-haves. You can tell everything is curated with care. It has that perfect boutique vibe without being overwhelming or overpriced. Babies in Bloom is a true gem for anyone preparing to welcome a little one. We left not only knowing what stroller we want, but with a big smile on our faces. Highly, highly recommend!

She was kind and direct and gave me a roadmap of what to expect. Her bedside manner is excellent, and she made me feel completely at ease. She quickly diagnosed some anatomical differences about my baby that we could address totally noninvasively, and ultimately was successful in getting my baby to take a bottle. The process took just as long as she said it would. She gave me my life back and made it possible for me to return to work. Throughout the entire process, she has been easy to reach. Scheduling and billing through this office has also been easy with no problems. Look no further!!

I was nearly 3 months postpartum, and even though I was past the early days, I still found myself second-guessing things and often felt like I didn't fully know what I was doing. Reaching out to them was one of the best choices I made. The visit was covered by my insurance, aside from a small travel fee, and it was absolutely worth it for the individualized care and peace of mind that Vicky and Golnar gave me. As a new mom who felt anxious about traveling with my baby, having a compassionate and knowledgeable lactation consultant come to my home made all the difference. She made me feel seen, heard, and supported without any judgment. She took her time explaining things in a way that was clear and reassuring. I left the visit with practical tools, a better understanding of what was going on, and, most importantly, a renewed sense of confidence in myself. If you're struggling, even a few months in, it is not too late to ask for help. This visit gave me exactly what I needed, and I can't recommend San Diego Breastfeeding Center enough. I look forward to continuing to work with them!

I am a breastfeeding mom and after 10 weeks of torture (ok not quite) and mixed opinions on what…read morethe problem was I called in Sarah who I had met at a breastfeeding support group at Yoga Jai Ma. Seriously, I was at the point where it was pay for support or quit breastfeeding (which wasnt really an option as my daughter hates bottles and screams the house down!). When my daughter was screaming, getting gassy, having problems latching and I was in such pain it was time to call in the expert! I had spoken to two doctors and a number of lactation consultants at breastfeeding support groups and what kept coming up was "thrush" or poor latch. Sarah came to my house, watched how I fed my daughter, helped with some positioning and also checked how I pumped and my daughter's mouth. It was found that my daughter had a tongue tie (which had not been diagnosed by anyone previously...) and could easily be rectified. Additionally it was confirmed by Sarah that I was also experiencing Raynaud's. Sure enough we took my daughter to the doctor and she had the tongue tie operation and since then almost all of the problems have been solved. I really was at my wits end. Sarah is professional but friendly and is also very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone who is having any problem with breastfeeding. Sarah regularly contacts me for updates and provides information wherever needed. Amazing service which ensured we could continue feeding!

Overall a great experience. Thank you!

Breastfeeding was a really tough and painful experience with my first baby, so having Robyn by my…read moreside this time around was so important. Even as a second-time mom, I needed guidance and reassurance, and she gave me both in the most compassionate way. She helped me understand my daughter's latch, showed me the best positions to make it easier and more comfortable, and patiently answered every single question I had. What I appreciated most was how willing she was to come to my house on short notice when I was really struggling -- that support made all the difference. Because of her, I feel confident and actually enjoy breastfeeding this time around. She truly goes above and beyond, and I can't recommend her enough to any mom, whether it's your first or your second baby.

There were so many roadblocks in our feeding journey and Robyn met us where we were at and encouraged us to continue. She had so many tips and tricks to get our baby to effectively transfer milk.

I am happy to report that at 2 months we are not just surviving, we are thriving! None of this would have been possible without Robyn.

She had a scale to weight the baby before and after feedings, tons of tangible information for us that she also went over with us to make sure we understood everything, and the best part... all kinds of goodies to make breastfeeding much more pleasant the first couple weeks. She answered any and all of our questions with the utmost confidence! She has been in the industry for a long time and is a master!!
