Halley, mama to Maggie

Rachel met with me after I delivered my daughter 5 weeks early. My preemie hadn’t gained weight between her coming home from the NICU to her first doctor’s appointment two days later, so there was a lot of unspoken tension and worry with trying to breastfeed a 4 lb baby. Rachel came to my home and immediately brought a sense of calm along with a wealth of knowledge about breastfeeding. She was the perfect blend of professionalism and compassion. Rachel took the time to show and discuss so many different aspects of breastfeeding without rushing or overwhelming us; this was exactly what two new parents needed.
Our daughter gained 9 oz in the week following Rachel’s visit. It was such a relief to see our child grow, and a huge part of that was due to Rachel’s expertise. I am now exclusively breastfeeding my daughter. Rachel was also wonderful at following up with words of encouragement and advice for successful breastfeeding. My husband and I highly recommend her Lactation Consultation services.
