I found out about Kari through my encapsulation lady. I was venting to her about how I just had my…read morebaby 2 days ago (at the time) and was having trouble knowing if he was breastfeeding correctly. I was damn near in tears texting her that I wanted to give up trying because I felt like I was not adequate enough for him. I was so distraught over him not using the restroom enough at 2 days old and him losing weight; I just knew something was wrong. She quickly referred me to Kari. I emailed and texted Kari desperate to get any sort of help and she went above and beyond! She texted me and e-mailed me back immediately. She was so kind and caring even through text and e-mail. She said she could come that same day and sure enough, she did. As soon as she arrived to my house she was instantly helpful. I was a mess, postpartum and just so emotional about my baby not using the restroom enough and him looking thin. Sure enough, Kari evaluated him, weighed him, and then asked me key questions. I could tell instantly she had a genuine passion for this and cared! She calmed me down and reassured me that we would figure things out and get to the bottom of it. After having a session with her, she discovered that my baby was not latching correctly and that my milk supply had still had not fully come in. So it made sense as to why he was fussy and not using the restroom enough- he was not getting enough. She reassured me again that we would work on this together and that I would be able to breastfeed my baby. She gave me so much information and even after she left, she would text me to check on baby and I. I even sent her pictures asking for her opinion and advice on certain things. Kari texted me right away and was very detailed. My milk supply did come in and thanks to her my now 1 month old baby is eating sooooo good and his pediatrician was impressed with how the breastfeeding is going. He has since, gained his healthy weight that the pediatrician wanted to see and is less fussy. I do not know what I would have done without Kari. She is truly a gem! I HIGHLY recommend her and wish more people would utilize her, that way they will not give up on breastfeeding their babies. I would have paid any price at that vulnerable point, so let me mention that Kari has very good prices! It is rare to find someone so knowledgeable, caring, attentive, and charges very good prices. If you are even thinking about learning more about breastfeeding, having trouble breastfeeding, curious about breastfeeding, and/or know someone who is expecting or going through anything above, contact Kari! I wish I had known about her while I was pregnant and saved myself the hassle of what I went through. Thank you Kari for all of your help.

She was very accommodating with scheduling too! After evaluation, she diagnosed my baby girl with lip tie and possibly a tounge tie. She showed me some exercises I can do daily to help with her oral functions and body tension. Shes suggested some dentists that shes seen procedure success in. She advised that its up to me if I want to do the lip tie procedure, and that oral exercises will need to be done after procedure so getting her use to exercises is important. And sometimes the exercises can significantly improve without needing the procedure. Shes also suggested nipple types I can try to help her latch better. Overall, after 3 sessions, baby girl has minimal clicking, better latch and slightly stronger tounge. Im still on the fence with the procedure, i know sooner the better, but if she continues to improve, I may forgo the procedure. Let's hope her 4 month regression does not undo all our hard work. I will revisit Stacy when baby girl starts solids.

They create community and help families build a village of support around them. I love that NMS recognizes that having a baby isn't just about preparing for the birth. It's also about having the right people, resources, and community around you as you step into parenthood.

That's when I reached out to Linda, and I'm so grateful I did. She took the time to thoroughly assess our baby and quickly identified a lip, tongue, and cheek tie--something we hadn't realized. Linda clearly explained what was going on and guided us through every step, connecting us with a wonderful pediatric dentist for the procedure and an excellent physical therapist for follow-up support. Thanks to Linda's expert advice, encouragement, and reassurance, I was able to continue breastfeeding successfully. I'm proud to say I exclusively breastfed for a full year, and now begins the emotional journey of weaning. I truly could not have done it without her.
