In just one session with Jennifer we were exclusively breastfeeding and he was gaining about a pound a week. The problem was resolved in one session but I'm glad I ended up buying a package of 3. It was nice to have her come and follow up a few times just to keep checking his weight and help with changes that came up- we were having a harder time with one side than the other. So she helped me figure out ways to make it more comfortable. She was also full of great referrals and other tools that were helpful postpartum I highly recommend. I wish I would have booked her before I gave birth to come meet me at the hospital. I delivered at Hoag and surprisingly they didn't have any lactation support after delivery

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!

I'm so grateful for Aileen's endless support navigating my breastfeeding journey. 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! She has a ton of knowledge and also helped me through bottle rejection, mastitis, clogged ducts, and more. She was incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and reassuring during such a stressful time. I highly recommend her to any parent needing breastfeeding support!

Where do I even start! I signed up for the Second Time Mom Class even though this was my third…read morebaby. And honestly, I felt a little silly registering, assuming I'd "been there, done that." 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 just recently had another baby and unfortunately I've had even more lactation issues this time (latch issues, tongue ties, lip ties, reattachments, baby GERD, clogged ducts, chronic blebs, pumping issues, etc). She never stopped wanting to help me, even when it was so tough. She is so knowledgeable, caring, empathetic, and just truly wonderful. I owe two of my successful nursing journeys to her, she's the best!

I cannot recommend Danielle highly enough--she is truly a gem. After my first son was born, I spent…read moreover five weeks exclusively pumping and feeling overwhelmed. I found Danielle's videos on TikTok and Instagram and made an appointment.

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!

Sarah was the instructor for the course and she was so friendly and welcoming. She was really thorough, didn't make us feel rushed, and literally answered everyone's question with such thoroughness and care. I'm so happy we did this and will be back for sure! It's nice to know there's support even during/after.

I originally found Linda on Yelp and was looking to get a lactation consultant asap as I had just…read moregotten home from the hospital and my newborn was having trouble latching. 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. Thanks Linda for all the help!

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!
