My husband and I met with Sarah when our daughter was 7 weeks old at the recommendation of our pediatric dentist Dr. Dewbre, prior to her scheduled lip and tongue revision. Our daughter was below birth weight at 4 weeks and continued to have slow growth and our pediatrician was threatening hospitalization due to failure to thrive when we decided to get her checked for ties. Once Dr. Dewbre diagnosed her ties, he strongly recommended we meet with Sarah.
She assessed our daughter's ties and observed me breastfeed her and gave incredibly helpful tips for not only breastfeeding, but for bottle feeding as well. She recommended best bottle brands for breastfed babies. She gave us body work exercises to perform on our daughter to help loosen her body tension caused by the ties which were very helpful as she was favoring turning her head to one side and had a curve in her spine. She also made sure I had correct size flanges for all of my pumps! (I brought 3) and helped me order some different flanges online that were in the right size. We traveled 3 hours there and back to see her and she was 100% WORTH THE DRIVE. I regret not seeing her sooner. Sarah was so sweet and knowledgeable. You can tell she truly cares about mamas and is passionate about what she does. My 1 visit with her was seriously priceless. I ended up following up with other local LC's in the Dallas following our daughter's tongue/tie revision and neither were even as close to as helpful as my one session with Sarah. The amount of patient education she gives after her visits is rare and invaluable. I very quickly learned not all lactation consultants are created equal- many are not well educated on ties, pumping tips, and bottle feeding. I meant to write this review months ago but life got so busy! My daughter is now 9 months old and thriving. Went from 15th percentile in weight back to the 92nd percentile. I cannot sing enough praises for Sarah. I still think back on how different our journey would have been had we not met. She is THE BEST!! You will not regret seeing her! read more
