Obviously, we can't predict if there will be emergencies or not, but having the support of the midwives keeps the anxiety levels down!

She is sensitive, practical, empathetic, and calming. She allows you to define and share your goals whatever the situation may be, and works hard to support you around these realistically and thoughtfully. Her guidance really cuts through overwhelming lists of dos and don'ts, etc., and she always steers clear of judgement. She's truy felt like a partner to our family and I'm so grateful. I feel very lucky she was recommended to me, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to expecting friends and family.

Molly was an invaluable support both emotionally and with practical help during a difficult time. It was like having a wiser, older sister help out and counsel a few times a week.

Highly recommend.

I sent Hilary a message at 2am after months of sleepless nights and she promptly replied the next day and set up a call for us to chat.

If anyone is thinking about a night nurse or daytime doula, I would 1000% recommend Hilary and her team.

I contacted Sue on a Sunday night and she was able to come by the next afternoon. She helped confirm that my son had lip and tongue ties and gave us tools and information to help with a better latch and get the ties revised. It was so much more comfortable to have the visit at home in our own environment and Sue really goes out of her way to make sure you're feeling more confident. Couldn't recommend her enough! If you're not sure if your insurance will cover, just call them - mine covered 60%.

When you call, you get a familiar voice that knows your family. Dr Bakshi is a lactation educator as well and was incredibly supportive and helpful on my breastfeeding journey with my first baby. If you're looking for a doctor who not only understands the challenges of nursing and pumping but will cheer you on and educate you, you found her. Their office is also in network with Children's Hospital. When my daughter had issues that required additional specialist support, we were able to see the best of the best in Boston and notes were shared seamlessly with Dr Bakshi's team. Their on call support over nights and weekends is also phenomenal. With a newborn I used the service a few times and always got immediate compassionate care. I can't recommend Dr B and her team enough. My first inclination is to gatekeep this amazing office because it is so small! But every family and child deserves great care.

Jennifer Greenberg is just excellent. We have a newborn and I am a first time parent and I was…read moreconcerned about latching, pumping and other things. Jennifer communicated very well with us before the appointment and during it. She has a background in education, so she explains things in a fantastic way that made me and my husband comfortable. She taught me how to latch, how to check for hunger cues and other things. She is patient, knows a lot and very organized. I am SO HAPPY with her. At the hospital I saw couple IBCLC (lactation consultant) and they were not as helpful as Jennifer - not even close. If you need her service, please do. She is an amazing human being and an excellent professional!

Reasons I gave her five stars: - she fixed our son's feeding problems right away, during the home visit. - she validated every problem/concern we had, and provided concrete executable solution. Never vague. Never hand-wavy. Never dismissing any issue. - she provided help not only for feeding, but also in exercising and sleeping. - she wrote up detailed reports after the visit. Details for my two experiences: - The first time was when my son was 11 days old. He wouldn't latch during breastfeeding, and Jen taught me how to properly latch, and how to observe his suckle & swallow ratio. She also helped me with selecting pumping flanges. - The second time I called her was a different issue. Little one likes to be breastfed but just wouldn't take a bottle. Only 0.5 to 2 oz per feed. We tried everything we can for a month but in vain. Like last time, Jennifer came to our house, and viola, my son took a full 4oz under her guidance! That's never happened before! Now that he is eating enough, he's also sleeping longer and I'm also getting enough sleep.

We arrived at the center at 6:30pm. As a man I super curious about how a natural birth would go. However, I got to experience the most beautiful gift I have ever received up close and personal. It was difficult to watch my wife go through the struggle, however, Kate was on top of every move. She had my wife in a tub, in different positions for different phases of the pregnancy. And come to find out she is coming up on her 800 birth that she has been apart of. To anyone who is looking for an alternative to the hospital experience and can handle a natural birth, I recommend this place with full enthusiasm. Our baby girl was delivered at 11:17pm. The birth could not have gone any smoother. I am so grateful to Kate and her assistant Bryn. Words can not express our gratitude. Outstanding job!!!! Thank you for playing such a huge part in one of the greatest days of our lives. You two are the BEST!!!!!
