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.

I highly recommend New Mom School to anyone looking to build her village.

I was fully unaware of how hard breastfeeding could be, and had a really difficult time when my…read morefirst son was born. My husband found Aileen online out of desperation at week 3 after I had tried every nipple butter and pillow on the market. From day one, Aileen has been a knowledgeable, calm voice in this process and has transformed breastfeeding from an extremely painful task into a sweet moment with my baby. She came to our home and first observed how I was breastfeeding, then made position adjustments for a better latch. She weighs our baby before and after feedings, and it's so reassuring to know he's getting enough milk to keep growing. On top of that, she answers all 1,000 of my questions, even the ones that aren't related to breastfeeding Aileen has helped not only with the physical pain but also with the mental burden, constantly reassuring me that everything will work out. Our baby is now 2 months old and so healthy. He can feed without a pillow and latches perfectly. Aileen still comes because as he grows, things change, and I just love learning from her. If breastfeeding seems impossible right now and nothing seems to work for you, you need Aileen!

My baby was…read moredropping in weight and with her recommendations my milk supply went up so fast that he ended up being above average every check up!

My doula,…read moreKaren, was my rock throughout my labor and was 100,000 percent amazing--I'll definitely be working with her for my second! A little backstory: I was overwhelmed and so nervous about finding "the one" person to be a part of the most important event of my life. After doing my research and reading through all these bios, I honestly was left feeling overwhelmed, especially knowing how indecisive I can be. I knew I just had to trust my intuition and my gut on this one! After looking at Karen's bio on their website, I had such a good feeling. Staci (the owner), who was super friendly and professional, helped me get connected with Karen, and I booked an interview right away! Karen was so sweet and asked me about my pregnancy experience so far. We discussed how I wanted my birth to go and any concerns I had. There wasn't any pressure to hire her, and it just felt like she was already invested in me, like I was already family. I even had her video chat with my husband to make sure we both felt comfortable and vibed well together--and we sure did! Overall, Karen ended up being the perfect balance of knowledge, experience, and professionalism. It was the most perfect amount of care I could have asked for. She was also such an advocate for my birth plan to work out. Before, during, and after my labor and birth, she was always naturally in tune with what I needed. She was never overbearing, worked so well with my husband, and gave him space to be a part of my support team as well. I am so grateful to have come across Labor of Love

The business owner is quite the opposite of the type of person any vulnerable new mom should have…read moreto work with. My experience with Labor of Love was almost two years ago now but continues to upset me when thinking back on my experience. We hired Lauren as our doula, who made it clear she expected us to go far past my due date as a first time mom. While it's possible for that to happen, it didn't in my case. At 39 weeks and at 5am while in active labor and getting ready to head to the hospital, she let us know she had Covid. Her backup was Karen, who I wish we hired to begin with as she is far more caring and professional. Though unfortunately our experience still fell short and we ultimately delivered without Karen present. We were left feeling like we invested a lot of emotion and money into this process with ultimately no help. Staci has been incredibly rude to us since then and even revoked our access to watch her training videos, sending me a link to pay her once again when wanting to rewatch for our now second baby on the way. Karen herself even recommended we ask for a partial refund due to our experience, but Staci lacks the professionalism and courtesy to her clients. Truly mindblowing that she revoked access to the training videos after we had already paid for them. I would stay far away and recommend a more experienced and caring doula group.

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!

Loved this place! I was referred to TTT for my second baby from a friend and am so happy I decided…read moreto go to them this time around. Backstory is my first in 2024 had all the ties, lip oral and cheek ties. He was feeding ok, but there was still pain and it was hard for him to gain weight. After a couple of months of research we decided to get a frenectomy at a different provider/ pediatric dentist. They were nice, and gave us resources for chiro and told me to continue to go to lactation consultants with my provider and offered some referrals. To be honest, we only did 1 session of chiro and the lactation consultants with my provider weren't in sync with the treatment I was doing. Fast forward to this year, 2026, I had my second and immediately knew if they had a tie I would want to get them removed. My friend referred me to TTT as they are all in one (procedure, lactation consultants and chiro) and I was thrilled that even though my insurance didn't take them, my HSA did! So it was good for us financially. Booking the appt was easy! I emailed, but I realized later that if I called or texted I would probably get a quicker response. They were able to book me the consultation and procedure in the same day within the week. During our consult with Dr Berger, she was able to give us more insight on lip and tongue ties in general and wanted to look at it and suggest options before going straight to frenectomy, even if that's what we came in for. After looking at my little ones mouth, she did say they were pretty restricted--especially the lip tie and she would recommend the release. We did the release same day and the rest of the appt was great as we did a weighted feed with Danielle who also taught us the aftercare instructions. Amazing experience as they were all so warm and caring and informative in that first session. The second and third follow up, I met with Dr Weaver and she is SO sweet, informative and gave us so much to do and look out for. She worked with me on lactation as well as chiro for the baby. With my milk supply I am an over supplier so she helped with regulating my milk, different positions for feeding, specific pacifier and bottles to use as well as follow up notes and links to what we talked about in the session. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough. The place is warm and inviting and they make you feel super comfortable. They don't pressure you to do the surgery if you don't want, and they will work with you to get answers to things that may seem odd/off with your baby and their feeding and sleeping. Also for parents with multiples--For the first appt we had a babysitter watch our first, but the remaining follow-ups we had to take them and everyone in the office was so nice about it and they had plenty of toys to keep the toddler busy.

I came to TTT due to an ongoing clogged ducts and breast inflammation.. I basically had that issue on and off for 2 weeks! When I walked in for my appointment, Dr. Weaver not only treated my breast inflammation with the ultrasound therapy, she also addressed all the colic and gassiness issues my baby was having! My baby was colicky all along and was arching his back so much whenever he feeds but I was always told by my pediatrician that it's all normal.. Turns out it was multiple issues going on at the same time: 1) baby was feeding on the wrong formula (cmpa baby not tolerating goats milk formula well) 2) baby has tongue and cheek tie so can't pull from my breast well hence the clog 3) we were using a wrong bottle nipple that causes too much air/gas during feed and not optimal bottle feeding position that causes him to also swallow more air.. Dr. Weaver gave us recommendations on which formula to switch him to, educate us on the optimal bottle feeding position, and recommended the right bottle nipple.. She also sent us so much research and education regarding formula type & ingredients and feeding positioning, why certain position causes air.. After a week, his gassiness was so much better.. Dr. Weaver was so prompt to respond to our texts when we have questions and she checks on us too! She educated us on the laser treatment option to treat his tongue tie and was transparent with the aftercare that may be difficult for some moms to do and she totally didn't pressure us to do it.. we decided not to do it since we chose bottle feeding instead of full on nursing.. Overall, very positive experience and so happy we found TTT!
