I emailed Lauren the day that I found out I was pregnant with our second daughter to make sure she…read morewould be available for our home birth! Lauren was an attending midwife at our first daughter's birth, and she brought such a peaceful, calming presence to the birth of my first baby. During my entire pregnancy, Lauren was nothing but supportive and helpful. We laughed, and I cried during some emotional visits, but I always felt supported, loved and safe in her care. My daughter was nearly two weeks late, and while I was nervous about getting to our 'deadline', Lauren put my husband and I at ease and assured us everything would work out! Even though I was not a 'new' mom, getting back into nursing and all things newborns was a little difficult! Lauren was so helpful with all of my postpartum care, as well! Lauren is an amazing midwife, and she makes me want to have more babies just so that I can have another magical home birth!

I highly recommend Lauren for all her services…read more I first met Lauren in 2015 when she became my current (at the time) midwifes assistant as I delivered my baby boy #2. I loved how soft, sweet & gentle she was. I also appreciated how she remained calm & grounded as my baby was born with his cord wrapped around his neck. She was on top of it and everything worked out smoothly, which I am so grateful for. She was great then & even more amazing when I had the pleasure of having her as my midwife for my 3rd baby boy! As my midwife, Lauren was very involved and attentive to every single need and desire I had. She was so supportive, which meant the world to me. Lauren is extremely knowledgeable and is still always building on that knowledge which I love! With her in charge, I felt more at ease during this pregnancy & especially during my delivery. She genuinely cares. She's there when you need her, even far after delivery. That includes being on top of all the paperwork too! We had Lauren encapsulate my placenta after both births with no complaints. We also loved the umbilical cord art she made. Should I decide to be so daring to have baby #4, I hope to have her by my side again! She is absolutely amazing!

I can only base this off of an initial consultation, but I had an excellent first experience with…read morethe Breastfeeding Center of OC! I met with Frida, and she was truly so helpful and supportive. She gave me her full attention during the consultation and was not only informative, but also very real and authentic. She gave me some helpful insight into how the breastfeeding process typically goes and also provided some hands on teaching moments to help me feel more prepared. Prior to visiting the BF Center, I'd taken a couple of breastfeeding courses online; but there is something about meeting with someone 1:1 (especially someone as kind and supportive as Frida) that really helped set my mind at ease. I'm looking forward to continuing to meet with her postpartum!

I met Ashley at a moms' event inside the Mommy & Me Center, in the same building where she's…read morelocated, and from the very beginning, I could tell she was special. Her warmth and confidence in her passion shine through instantly. I had heard her name mentioned so many times during my pregnancy, so I was thrilled to finally meet her and book an appointment. Ashley provided me and my husband with thorough care--not only preparing us before our baby arrived but also supporting both my husband and I plus our little one afterward. As a first-time mom, I'm incredibly grateful for her guidance. Breastfeeding felt overwhelming at first, but Ashley made the process clear, supportive, and manageable. I truly can't recommend her enough.

Ariana was recommended to me from a list of local IBCLC's. My daughter was a 4 month old chronic…read morebottle refuser and after seeing/talking to tons of lactation consultants and OT's we were losing hope and very frustrated. Unfortunately Ariana was no longer local to my area but regardless she responded promptly and offered a virtual consult. The virtual consult was so helpful. Ariana suspected my daughter wasn't lateralizing her tongue effectively enough causing the bottle refusal. She worked with us on exercises we could try and even referred us to a local chiropractor. After our consult Ariana followed up with an email of suggestions and tools which has been immensely helpful. Ariana has been so patient, answering every question thoroughly. We haven't been able to get my daughter back on a bottle but she is now taking a straw cup at 21 weeks old and I solely attribute that to Ariana's help. We can now rest easy knowing my daughter will be nourished while I'm away at work. I whole heartedly recommend Ariana to anyone. She is a god send.

I never been around a baby and there was so much miss information out there my head was spinning, I was about to give up and go to formula, My family then went looking for support out of the insurance and found Ariana online. Ariana responded right away and got me in as soon as she could! She came to my house really listened and got to understand what challenges my son and I are going through. She gave lot of amazing detailed information that no one else had given me, really gave me hope and trust that the work we are putting in is worth it. She saved my sanity and I will continue to use her during my feeding journey with my son until we feel confident we know what we are doing! I am now recommending her to all my friends who are about to have a baby. Cause idk what I would have done if I didn't find her.

My 5 year old son recently had tongue, lip, and cheek ties treated with Team Tongue Tie. These…read morewere affecting his speech, and they would cause dental issues down the line as well. His dentist and speech therapist both recommended we see Team Tongue Tie, and his Dr. at Kaiser also mentioned them as an alternate to the traditional tongue tie revision, which would require general anesthesia and was not something we were comfortable with. All three professionals agreed that he needed the tie revision, and that was confirmed by Dr Sacker during consultation as well. I would be misleading you if I told you that the whole process was "easy peasy". My son did scream during the procedure, and I did want to run in and rescue him. It was hard to hear, and I was thankful when the nurse came to distract me. I was thankful that it was over quickly! I asked him afterward if it hurt at all and he said no, he was just scared of the numbing medicine. He's never had any sort of numbing medicine in his mouth before, so that feeling was scary. Despite this, Dr. Sacker and her staff was so nice and caring toward him, that he was not scared to go back for his follow up two days later. The stretches are rough at first. It hurts, it's exhausting, but it's a short term thing. Stay the course, you'll get through it! It was less than 2 weeks before there wasn't any more pain and the stretches became a breeze to do. Okay, now to sing some praises! Dr. Sacker and her staff are positively wonderful. The nurses are very warm and caring, the office was beautiful and inviting. From the get-go, Scott explained thoroughly what to expect from the entire procedure and the aftercare, and explained Dr. Sacker's qualifications as well. He was available for further questions and was prompt in responding via phone and email. Dr Sacker is very knowledgeable, responsive, and empathetic. She is there to support you every step of the way, and encouraged me to send pictures if I felt unsure of how well I was doing the stretches (which I did, and she responded reassuringly). At the two week checkup, she again assured me that at any time, I could text her with questions or send pictures. It's obvious that she cares about her patients and the success of the procedures! Dr. Sacker and Scott were both great in interacting with our family, it's a plus that they're nice people! I'm happy with our decision to see Team Tongue Tie, and would gladly refer them to others needing this procedure.

Team Tongue Tie saved my breastfeeding journey with my second. One that I thought was going…read moreamazing until about 6/7 weeks in. I started getting frequent clogs, my baby was unreasonably fussy, had silent reflux, and started struggling to breastfeed. I had no idea what was going on -- my first child had no issues breastfeeding and I had been doing the exact same thing with my second. Luckily we were referred to TTT and they were incredible from the first phone call. We called frantically on a Friday afternoon after getting tipped off that our baby might have a tie. They were so quick to respond and Scott even took our intro phone call on a Saturday afternoon. We were in first thing on Monday morning for the procedure!! When you're in this desperate position to feed your baby, you KNOW how important speed is. I was SO thankful they were able to get us in so quickly - I may have cried a few silent tears of relief when he said we could come in on Monday morning. Everyone in the office was so helpful, kind, and understanding. The procedure was super quick and easy (as they tell you!). Although it was a bit traumatizing being freshly postpartum and exhausted, the team was so comforting and reassuring. I had this strange expectation that once we had the procedure, breastfeeding would magically be fixed. This was indeed not the case -- it was a much longer haul to get back to a successful breastfeeding situation. We had the ties (4 total) released at around ~7 weeks, but it took several months afterwards to get fully back to successful breastfeeding with little to no pumping. I say this for anyone reading this to gain realistic expectations. We had to go back for lactation appointments (Heather was amazing!) and I was still having to pump around the clock for a few weeks. Our daughter is now 7 months old, exclusively breastfed, and absolutely thriving. In fact, she refuses the bottle at this point, which some people would be bummed about but is such a win for me. I am SO happy that we had this procedure done with TTT and their amazing staff! This is somewhat of a niche operation and I am so grateful that they exist. Thank you Dr. Sacker and everyone at TTT for dedicating so much time and energy to helping families like us!

Soon after she went on medication for reflux our nursing journey really began to improve.

She always equipped me with what to say to our pediatrician and together we really helped my baby thrive. I saw Dawnita both at my home and her clinic a few times and both experiences were great her scheduler Shawna was also extremely responsive and helpful. I didn't have great experiences with the LC at the hospital and clinic, I was so nervous meeting Dawnita but she instantly put me at ease and offered great advice. I can't recommend Dawnita enough!

I could not have been more wrong. I was completely blown away by how much I learned, used, and genuinely needed. Each week brought in a different expert, and the range of knowledge was incredible. Everything from marriage and relationship tips to improve the flow of your household, to managing toddler behavior, baby and toddler sleep, even a professional that helped me identify diastasis recti. There was something valuable in every single session, no matter how many kids you already have at home. And then there's the community you build. Having a weekly group of intelligent, supportive women to lean on during one of the most overwhelming seasons of life was invaluable. Its the kind of thing you don't know you need until you experience it. Becca, our group leader and the owner, made all the difference in our group. She's warm, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly has an amazing network of resources, because every week felt exactly like what we needed. Highly, highly recommend to every mom, no matter how many babies you've already had. Thank you Becca and NMS Team! Appreciate you all so much.
