ENJOY BREASTFEEDING YOUR BABY WITH CONFIDENCE FROM THE START

"The best thing about Amy? She's RESPONSIVE! And super positive. Being able to call/email/text her and get a response soon after was a huge comfort to me and my husband.  Amy had dropped off a hospital grade pump at my house (so crucial as time was of the essence!). Two days later she came to my house for a consultation and she kept things SO positive, which was hugely important as I was barely hanging on by a thread on that point. She showed me how to slightly modify my baby’s latch and allowed us to rent a baby scale so we could see how much milk he was "transferring" at each feeding."

"Just. Do. It. Best decision we made was calling Amy for help. Working with Amy was more like having a friend come over and teach you how to do something important, rather than some medical or other appointment with a stranger. In a situation like learning how to breastfeed, that is the kind of experience a new mom wants. It was the experience I had and I am so grateful for it!!"

"On top of her helpfulness, Amy in no way pressures you to do anything. She listens to what YOU want, while at the same time, thinking about what's best for baby. She understood that the most important thing for my baby was for her to return to a healthy weight and if it came down to it, supplementing would have to be a last resort option. I never felt any pressure from her, as some of my friends have experienced with some more extreme lactation consultants."

"Amy is prompt in responses, very approachable, and a wealth of information.  I recommend her to any new mom having difficulty with breastfeeding!"

"After getting home from the hospital, I had to talk myself into every feeding and grit my teeth to get through the pain of each session. Within 20 minutes of Amy arriving at my home for our session, she identified the issues and showed me how to improve my latch and positioning. It made SUCH an instant change, I told her it was like I'd just downed a vodka tonic. Amy's warmth and encouragement knocked those qualms out the window, and for proof, baby exceeded his birth weight at 2-week checkup."

"Within a few minutes of her being here, Amy gave me tips and I had the first nursing experience with no pain!! What a huge relief! The fact that she comes to your home is priceless, especially with a newborn. Amy was warm, and very easy to talk to. She provided me with a step by step plan to help with nursing and then checked in with me multiple times to see how things were going. "

"After Amy left I cried tears of joy because I was so relieved, and within one week all of the sores, bleeding, and pain I previously had were gone. Amy followed up several times by email and text after her visit and she has been a great resource for various questions I have had about feeding schedules, bottles, pumping, etc. Three months later I am still breastfeeding 100% of the time, and find that feeding my daughter is one of my favorite parts of the day, which I never thought possible in the days after she was born. I cannot say enough amazing things about Amy and would (and have!) highly recommended her to any new mom. "

"If you're having any trouble breastfeeding, don't wait to call Amy! After 3.5 weeks of hoping that the latch pain would go away (and it wasn't) I decided to look for a lactation consultant. From the moment Amy arrived she made me feel super comfortable.  Not only did she spend time showing me the proper latch techniques to help the terrible pain I was having due to cracked nipples, but she made me feel totally empowered.  She was so positive and full of praise and encouragement. She helped me regain my confidence and when she left, I felt like with a little more practice I totally got this!"

"I contacted Amy through a recommendation from our pediatrician when my preemie wasn't gaining weight after we came home from the hospital. Amy was at our house within 24 hours (in an ice storm!) and she was awesome. She immediately put my fears at ease and my anxiety was minimized almost instantly."

"It was the Sunday before Christmas when I reached my limit, so I didn't think my chances of finding someone to help me were good.  I contacted Amy on Sunday morning and she immediately responded to me and arranged to come the following day. I was asking myself Sunday night if it was necessary to have Amy come to our house.  I can tell you with 100% certainty that after Amy left, I realized it was completely worth it.  She was incredible and I felt so much better after her visit - I was like a new person. Even my husband commented on how great Amy was to work with and how he could see the difference it made for me as well as our son."
