Very professional and nice lady although, we were told my 3 month old son had every tie (lip tie,…read moretongue tie, and buccal tie) under the sun. As a first time mom hearing your son didn't gain weight in two weeks and there's an issue, (even though my doctors scale and her scale are two different devices) obviously throws you into a tizzy. I went to my pediatrician's office and turns out he was just going through a growth spurt, so he just grew in length, not weight. I also followed up with another lactation consultant on the North Shore. The second lactation consultant, laughed and told me everything was fine even encouraged me to continue on in my breastfeeding journey while Lisa suggested supplementing. I recommend other Lactation Consultants

I also have a 3 years old girl who was sleep trained when she was 5 months old and I thought I know how to sleep training a baby... but all kids are different. My boy was breastfeeding and co-sleep until his first birthday. Tried few times to sleep train by myself but his reaction was totally different with my first child. Also I didn't want to go with crying out method and did not want to wake my first child in the middle of night. When I met Pam, my problem solved within a week and I wish I contacted her so much earlier. My boy cried so little that I didn't know it was possible. I also thought training one yr old could be very challenging but she made it so easy! Highly recommend her!

If I could leave a 0-star review I would. I applied to be a birth doula with this service. I…read morereceived repeated requests to fill out the same video interviews. I should have stopped the process then but alas I persisted in hope this would work out. Then I I have to go through repeated rescheduled onboarding interviews with Jada because she kept having "schedule conflicts" and no respect for my time. When we met it was awkward and the discussion mostly focused on other doulas who don't want to meet with their client until they are way into active labor and then Boober worries about refunds. I do not operate in a way that would entail these risks happening. I spent a lot of time on the application and intake process for boober yet I continued to get leads for potential clients way outside of my geographic area of service. I got clients that were not serious about hiring a doula or I was one of many doulas who would meet with clients. I responded to some potential leads and sometimes wasn't followed up with, other times was matched with clients along with several other doulas or I was sent redundant messages about client requirements which I had already met. As a newer doula (with about a year of experience) I felt I couldn't compete with being matched with clients who were also introduced to several other doulas. I invested a lot of time and effort into my Boober application and profile and saw NO returns for it. I would get no responses, clients would hire other doulas or no doulas or no one from boober would follow up with me for the leads I was actually interested in. At some point I can no longer tolerate such disrespect for my time. While I believe in providing strong customer service our time as birth workers and service providers also needs to be respected and it's just not at Boober. I'm sorry I every signed up for the service. Also there are different commission structures based on race which I'm pretty sure is illegal. I'm all for birth equity but I'm not looking to be disrespected over and over again.

I am a black man in an interracial marriage. Yesterday, my wife and I went to the Prospect Heights…read moreTribeca Pediatrics in Brooklyn, NY, for the Infant CPR and safety. As the only black man and the only interracial couple in the class, I believe Geoff Gohacki gave me disparate treatment. My wife could not do the CPR on the floor because her belly made her uncomfortable to do so. The instructor told her to do CPR on the chair. I decided to be next to her because she is my wife, and I did not want her to be alone and feel inadequate. The instructor told me to get on the floor because my wife is pregnant, and I am not pregnant. That was very insensitive, rude, and uncalled for. I don't care if you were joking. You cannot make that kind of statement. My wife and I are adults and are not in high school or the military. I always tell people that my wife and I are pregnant. We are pregnant because we are doing this together. Lastly, if my wife and I are paying for the class, we don't have to look at how other people are doing it so that we can do the CPR. We could have stayed home and watched everything on YouTube. I was doing the infant CPR. I was not doing the chest compressions up to the instructor's standards. Instead of redirecting me, the instructor told me to look at the other people in the class. So you don't have a mouth to speak or are impatient to give me feedback on what I am doing wrong. My wife and I are not here to look at other people. After we left the class and walked toward our apartment, my wife started to cry about the unfortunate treatment this instructor put me through. It was distress we didn't deserve. Therefore, I would not recommend this instructor to a black man in an interracial couple.

She patiently sat with us and helped us get and maintain a better latch and gave me lots of helpful advice on nursing with lip and tongue ties without pushing for us to get them revised. She also answered many questions about how to get back to work and maintain a successful breastfeeding journey and offered detailed summaries of our visits with helpful resources to read and watch, knowing how difficult it is for moms to remember all the information from an office visit. I am so happy I found Chaya and would not hesitate to visit her again if we need any more help during our journey.

I made an appointment for the day I got out of the hospital. She was very helpful. She weighed my LO before and then after nursing to see how much he was getting. It was very helpful to know he was getting more than enough and that the time I was being told to nurse was not necessary and he would let me know when he was full. I went to her a few more times and did a few phone calls for other reasons. I recommend her highly to anyone with problems or just anyone who is curious if their LO is getting enough. Weight checks were free just make an appointment which is helpful since the pediatrician visits can be so far away. We were lucky and there was a discount on the inside page of the breasfeeding guide from Saint Barnabas. We loved Dawn and she was so helpful to a new mom like me.

After trying to resolve issues on my own, I was hit with a terrible post partum skin rash that stopped me from nursing my son completely.

Dawn was exceptional, thorough, and caring. I spent the next few weeks doing exactly as Dawn said in her plan for me. Today, my son has been exclusively breastfed for 8 of his 9 months and I plan on nursing him until he chooses to stop. I can not thank Dawn enough for her support.

With Aliza, I was able to find someone who I felt comfortable talking to and working with. She was patient and responsive to my emails. She was also detailed in her explanations.

Instead I cherish the bonding time that I have with my little one. Because of Covid, we did a video conference instead of an in-house visit. I thought it would be inconvenient and hard to explain things but it actually turned out ok.
