I cannot recommend Mahmee highly enough. After receiving some very bad advice at the hospital, I had decided against breastfeeding as it was too painful to continue. One appointment at Mahmee fixed everything. We saw Jennifer, who is very focused on the success of both baby AND mom. I was told "we don't breastfeed at any cost" and didn't feel shame about any decisions we made which was a huge help. I also love being able to use the app to ask follow up questions. We went in person to their offices but I believe they also do house visits which would be very convenient if you don't live close. read more

This business is really great for both new and seasoned moms! I was experiencing latching issues with my son due to him have lip and tongue tie releases and came across mahmee. The experience with a lactation consultant in person was amazing, she was hands-on and knowledgeable. They have scales, wipes, changing tables...everything you'd need for a successful breastfeeding session. The other plus is their online services. So once you leave your session, you have access to a consultant for a month, where you can ask as many questions as you need and have consistent support. Another great feature, is they have information on all things post partum and ways to build knowledge around lactation and feeding. read more

I'm so glad I was referred to Mahmee. As a first time mom, I too had concerns about my incoming milk supply. I called, made an appointment with the kind staff, and was linked up initially to Arden, one of their lactation consultants. I opted to come into their Cahuenga office late one week and I found it surprising that it's hidden away next door to my usual salon. Their offices are a stones throw from Universal Studios/City Walk, so the drive over has been nice as I'm also in the valley. Stepping into their private office already made me feel secure and welcome. They setup a room tucked away within a walk-in area, that included a rocking chair, a comfy couch for companions, and working space for the consultants to do weigh-ins for baby. Arden was very sweet, caring, and an absolute professional when it came to understanding my needs. She even did a follow up at my home for a latch check the following week! Due to her scheduling, I was asked to come back and see one of their founders, Linda, for a follow up appointment. And Linda too was a seasoned pro. She immediately pivoted to try different techniques during my second appointment, including supplemental latching, and proceeded to create a precise schedule fitted to my preferences. Both appointments, my consultants asked if they could follow up again to see how things were going. I do appreciate their expertise, utmost care, and generous knowledge to help me on my breastfeeding journey! I've already recommended Mahmee to a separate lactation support group at my hospital for other moms to take advantage of. This place is another hidden gem of the valley for new (and seasoned) lactating moms! read more

Absolutely amazing experience at this location. Sarah made the scheduling super easy and sent over the paper work thru email. Lisa our consultant , was a pleasure to work with , very sweet nice and honest person, very respectful and very clean. She took great care of my wife and baby when it came it breast-feeding guiding. The whole place is completely clean and private, plenty of parking out front . Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for help breast-feeding. read more

Terrible service, canceled our doula last minute just before delivery. When we try to communicate to understand what's going on they give generic responses and don't take any responsibility or provide reassurance that they'll solve this - we don't have a doula at this point. I'm shocked at how bad they are treating expecting parents!! We should be focusing on our newborn (arriving any day now) and the approaching delivery and instead we have to deal with all this stress and frustration just before birth. This is so upsetting. read more

STAY AWAY! We had chosen to use Mahmee because we had it through our insurance and things started out great with online classes and we were assigned a doula this May that we liked right away as well! However, things started going south pretty quickly, we were told at the beginning that we could have a certain amount of pre and post-partum visits, but then after several months this amount they were telling us kept decreasing. We were also getting mixed messages - one person told us that our doula couldn't see us post-partum and they were trying to assign us a specific post-partum doula, but someone else told us that they don't do just post-partum doulas. Now it is October and the due date is in 2 weeks, we were scheduled to see our doula this week for the last meeting before labor and they wrote us a message one hour before the appointment that it was cancelled and that we no longer have a doula! This is incredibly disrespectful and leaves us hanging with an almost 0% chance to find a doula to be with us in the hospital when it was something that we had been counting on as it is our first pregnancy. All I can say is that if you're counting on having a doula, DO NOT choose Mahmee, they don't care about you! read more

Mahmee is a life saver! Referred by St. John's Santa Monica. Could not be happier with my experience. Brand new mom feeling educated and confident. Thanks mahmee!! read more

The quality and care given by each and every person at Mahmee is exceptional. It was refreshing to have a team work with my daughter that were knowledgeable, kind, patient and positive. I thank all of you at Mahmee for assisting and coaching my daughter with her breast feeding difficulties. You kept it simple and were very encouraging. Truly a 5 star experience. read more

As a first time mom, I was not able to breastfeed my son. Linda taught me breastfeeding with some simple quick steps and problem was solved. No hesitation to make an appointment with her if you have lactation issues. Thanks Linda!!!! read more

I am so grateful for everyone at My Nursing Coach. I've been renting the Medela Symphony since Dec 2021. They helped me when the pump stopped working, when I needed postpartum help, and insurance help. Super friendly, supportive, and just all around awesome folks. read more

This is my second review to Linda and her crew! I had to get Linda again since its been a while and i forgot how challenging it can be to nurse a newborn! Again Linda was a lifesaver, her crew is very helpful and accommodating, she resolved my latching issue quickly, she calmed me down , encouraged me and gave me my confidence and well being back again! She is super kind and warm person, her and her crew's customer's service is the best! She answered all my questions afterwards, was very patient, kind and resolved me many issues that came afterwards with the best advices she can give! I really love the woman , nursing is very important for me, and she always calms me down and know how to say the right words. I recommend her and her team with all my heart, thanks to her and her good advices i was able to nurse all my kids! read more

Linda was rude, impatient, and even refused to let me change my daughter's diaper. She also did not listen to my wife at all. She pushed my hand away from my own baby girl. Pretty abhorrent behavior. Stay away. read more

Words CANNOT describe how grateful I am to find My Nursing coach! I left the hospital feeling so frustrated and confused because everything I learned about breastfeeding prior to giving birth flew right out the window when it was just me and my baby. She had trouble latching and developed jaundice and short story is that we had to introduce formula and use a bottle to help baby eat. I just kept pumping and worked on building my supply. That's when I called My Nursing coach! I don't know where I would be without the help of Shay & Linda! I am now exclusively breastfeeding and building a beautiful bond with my baby all thanks to this team! I highly recommend going with My nursing coach if you are looking for help with breastfeeding!! You will not regret it! Thanks Linda & Shay! read more

Mahmee - Happy Baby! - Lactation Services Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The customer service at this business is phenomenal. I struggled very hard during my breastfeeding journey (and still am! baby recently needed a frenectomy), and I saw SIX lactation consultants before we got my baby to latch when she was six weeks old. I had an appointment with Citlalli Martinez and she was the only LC out of SIX (I saw two in the hospital and paid for two private LCs) who got my baby to drink directly from my breast without a nipple shield. I had seen one other LC at the office and didn't have a good experience in the office but thought that it was because my baby was fussy and I was in so much pain after my delivery. We had a home visit and I was still disappointed in my interactions with the LC. However, all I did was reach out to customer service and explained how I felt and they refunded me for the service immediately. I was SHOCKED! I wasn't expecting that. Because of that, I know this business truly cares about its customers and only wants what's best for them. My baby had a posterior tongue tie and needed a frenectomy last week and I am seeing a feeding specialist so she can learn how to use her oro-facial muscles in a way that promotes more efficient milk transfer. If I need an LC again, I will definitely be using this company. read more

These ladies are miracle workers. First, Linda came to our house to test our baby's jaundice the day after we got home from the hospital. It was such an efficient and affordable service. She also threw in some quick breastfeeding guidance which was immediately helpful, more than any of the lactation consultants at the hospital. But I had a lot of nipple damage and after a difficult pregnancy I didn't feel like I had it in me to tough out more toe curling pain. I was dreading every feed, so we scheduled a full breastfeeding appointment with Jennifer. She was unbelievably patient, kind and knowledgeable in our lengthy hour+ appointment. We implemented what she taught us, which was great, but some of my pain wasn't resolving itself, so Linda followed up with me multiple times to help me figure it out. And guess what. I did. Things healed up and now at 7 weeks postpartum I'm about 95% pain free and my baby is feeding up a storm. I think I'll be at 100% within a week or so. I honestly probably would've given up without their help and I'm so glad I didn't. I feel like an old pro now. Don't hesitate to go to these wonderful women, sooner rather than later!! read more

I had a good experience from my in person consultation but I had ONE simple question to ask after she left and the woman who answered the phone wanted me to schedule a phone call AND pay $50. Come on now, that's ridiculous. I wouldn't recommend this service. For my last baby I went somewhere else that had ongoing, fast support. Much better. read more

I can't say enough good things about My Nursing Coach, Linda Hanna and Team. Linda is the reason I was able to nurse my first child for two years after an emergency c-section and a horrible start to nursing from bad latching and breast injury. She is now helping me with my second child and it's going well. Breastfeeding is so hard-it's clearly underestimated-or at least, I underestimated how hard it would be but Linda has made it so much easier and pain free-both times!! I could not have done it both times with out her. I am forever in her debt. read more

I cannot say enough about this place. I was referred to them by my newborn's pediatrician during his first check-up. I was able to see the lactation specialist, Jenn, the following day. She was FANTASTIC and really took the time to understand what my needs were and how best to make it work for myself and baby. I also took a follow up appointment at their Hollywood location and I am so glad I did. They have all of the tools and knowledge to help with the breastfeeding/pumping process. They also have an online portal and almost instantly you'll get a response to any question that you have. Look no further if you are in need of lactation support. THIS IS THE PLACE! read more

My son was born 8/14/20. I was having trouble at the hospital and then we found out he had a tongue tie which we clipped at the hospital. We went home Sunday and we were feeding him formula/breastfeeding. Tuesday I had a zoom consultation with Jennifer. I was very hesitant that this wasn't going to work since it was virtual. It did!! My son latched!! A few days later she came over for a few minutes just to check on how we were doing. Masks and gloves were used. They are very COVID conscious. Any questions I have I've gotten them answered from their online platform Mahmee. I recommend My Nursing Coach to my friends who are pregnant. If your struggling with anything breastfeeding related call them. read more

They are the absolute best. They helped me get my baby to latch after a tough start with jaundice and exclusively pumping. They also helped me with other issues like a clogged duct. But more than any of these things you just feel like they're in it with you. They are incredibly supportive -- Linda herself would call me on Friday nights and leave me encouraging voicemail messages when I was in a tough emotional spot after giving birth and wanting desperately to breast-feed. They are also knowledgeable and kind. read more

If you do one thing post birth, do yourself a huge favor and hire this company for an in home lactation consultation. Our pediatrician recommended them because our son needed Bilirubin light therapy for his high jaundice level. They came over, set up the light bed and offered an incredible amount of support. I liked them so much I hired them for a lactation consultation too. Things were going just ok, but I started having a lot pain with his latch and needed help. They came in and completely changed the situation in 90 minutes. Nursing is NOT painful anymore. Their knowledge, support and accessibility is worth its weight in gold. read more

Linda is amazing. AMAZING. As a first time mom, I'd been experiencing some nursing issues, including intense nipple pain and nonstop feeding around the clock. Linda made a house call and gave us a very common sense explanation for nursing and newborn behavior that framed everything in a very manageable context. She was also so good at showing me how to latch the baby properly in various positions, with zero pain! On top of being incredibly knowledgeable and good at what she does, Linda is also genuinely warm and kind-- just a good soul. This is the best investment for a breastfeeding mom! Dad couldn't be happier or more appreciative, too! Linda is our savior! read more

My initial appointment with My Nursing Coach at my pediatrician's office was amazing and so helpful. Our coach helped us fix some painful latch issues. However when I later went to schedule a follow-up appointment, they were very rude and disorganized. They are not covered by insurance for follow-up, and it isn't cheap, so you'd think they'd at least be patient and kind with new mothers. The lack of clarity in their scheduling process, the rude attitude that followed, and the stress this caused made me decide to find another lactation consultant elsewhere. I really hoped they'd be worth the out-of-pocket for a follow-up because it would have been convenient to stick with them, especially as they started out great in our first visit, but unfortunately they were not. Re: Their reply below, I think it's very inappropriate to air a step by step review of the interaction with a client, but here they are. They forgot to note the rudeness I received via text, the lack of ever noting that I actually was receiving an appointment (it was always a "maybe if there's time, we will let you know the night before if we are available", and never even a general time), I was reprimanded for replying to a text I got because it was from a "personal phone" (why text from a personal phone if you don't want a reply? How would your clients know this is a personal phone? Why use it if it's not a form of connecting you're open to?). I did speak to your representative, Kelly, on the phone and she was very ambiguous and noncommittal on when we may be able to meet - I do work, as do many mom's, and have other commitments, so a general timeline is quite helpful. I received a call and a text to "confirm an appointment" and was given attitude for not understanding what I was confirming since a time was never discussed or left in any message. I do have a newborn (obviously), and as the primary caregiver, am not always available to pick up the phone on a whim. I gave an honest review of my interactions with your company, including the positives, it's sad you feel a need to justify your negative actions instead of simply apologizing for them. read more

As a brand new first time mom I thought all the online classes, books and videos would prepare me for breastfeeding and that because it came naturally to my mom it would be easy for me too. Well, that was not the case. My poor nipples suffered so much that first few days because my daughter couldn't latch properly. And I insisted that I keep trying which only lead to bloody, scabbed over sore nipples. My Nursing Coach was recommended by our pediatrician. After one office visit and one home visit I'm happy to say my nipples are healed and my daughter is latching and feeding well!! Our coach Jennifer is lovely and continues to provide us with the support all moms (and families) deserve and need during this time. I 100% recommend working with them for your breastfeeding/ chest feeding woes. read more

Phenomenal. Being a first time mom (during Covid nonetheless) has been challenging. There is so much you are learning, need to learn and sometimes even make up as you go. The whole my nursing coach helped me so much on my breast feeding journey with my little one. I first had a virtual consultation with shay who was absolutely amazing and even did a follow up with her at 6 weeks (cause who knew that this was the time where baby's needs change and they go through a huge growth spurt). There is so much that changes through the 4th trimester and my nursing couch team really help you to navigate it. Their online website mahmee is great and really helps to ease the first time mom worries. Linda and her team responds so fast and with a ton of knowledge. I also had an in person consultation with Lisa to just have a more hands on experience since I was not able to get this because of Covid before. She helped me realize all I was doing is correct. She shared a ton of knowledge and articles with me to help keep up my breastfeeding journey. This company was honestly the best part of my postpartum experience and I'm so glad I came across them. I will continue to share with all the moms I know. Weather they are in California or not. I cannot thank this team enough for all they have done for me and helping me navigate through this new chapter of my life. read more

No better resource for a new mom! This was the best use of my finances after I gave birth! Linda and her team are knowledgeable, kind abs really in the business of making moms lives better. I couldn't have gone without them! read more

My oldest kid is now 7 and I had 28 total months of successful nursing between my 2 kids, all after almost giving up. Was telling a friend recently how thankful I was for the universe bringing Linda to us. My son had jaundice and we rented a billibed and Linda came to pick it up and just casually asked how nursing was going. It was not good so I showed her and within a minute it finally clicked what we were doing wrong with our latch (too shallow and I didn't have a good angle). She's wonderful and I can't believe I never took the time to review her, so here we are. Thank you so much Linda!!! read more

I was NOT happy with Lisa. I liked that she looked at my overall well being... BUT she told me to stop nursing for a week and to just pump. Worst idea ever, because I never was able to nurse again. I was just getting the hang up nursing and it was getting better. Instead she had me pump, pump like crazy. Terrible advice and I ended up having to stop because it was too much pumping and did formula. Then when I tried to wean off I called for help and left 3 messages before she got back to me. I really wish I had Linda because all of my friends were happy with her and still nursing. read more

I have to rave about My Nursing Coach right now. As a first time mom, my baby wasn't latching well and I was totally clueless how to breastfeed. The ladies from My Nursing Coach came to my apartment a few times to help me and they were SUCH lifesavers! Everyone is so wonderful, patient and kind. My baby is now 8 months and exclusively breastfeeding thanks to this wonderful service I couldn't have done it without them! read more

This review is for Linda Hanna. It's a rare and special opportunity to get to work with someone who is a both master at her craft and has a true calling for the work. Linda brings decades of wisdom to each appointment and beyond - there wasn't a single question we had that she couldn't answer, tailored to our specific circumstances. She helped correct some of the advice I had received from the hospital nurses so that by the end of the appointment I felt vastly more comfortable and confident breastfeeding and resting when I needed to. Linda and her team were very proactive in following up quickly so I felt I had the support I needed when I was too exhausted to reach out on my own. I felt my baby and I were genuinely cared for. I cannot recommend her enough. read more

Amazing experience working with Shay! The team is super responsive and easy to work with. I can message them easily on their website and they reply quickly and provide great advice. They also follow-up and make sure you are doing well. The recommendations they gave me are spot on to help me and my breastfeeding needs. They also listen to you and build a plan based on what makes sense for both baby and mom. So happy to be working with them! read more

Long over due review from 2017. LINDA!!!! You are an angel!!! And that's what I call you when I talk about you to my friends! Linda came to my home for a different reason, but also helped me with my latching issues! She taught me something that I will never forget! Thank you Linda! read more

Lisa helped me immensely when my baby was having latch issues post-lip and tongue tie release. She genuinely cared about my well-being and checked in multiple times after our first consult (even stopping by for a free follow up visit) to make sure we were both doing ok and making progress. With her help it took just a week to wean my little guy off the shield and for us to become breastfeeding pros. read more

Phenomenal. Has made my postpartum journey 8000 times easier to navigate, Lessening my anxiety with real and timely answers and care, prioritizing my baby and I. Truly a god-send and cannot recommend highly enough. read more

Lisa was AMAZING. We are still working on getting my daughter to latch and nurse properly but Lisa has been incredibly supportive, kind and gentle. She is very skilled at what she does and I feel I am in wonderful hands with her. read more

I have absolutely loved working with My Nursing Coach and they have helped me immensely on my breastfeeding journey. As a first time mom I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and had no idea what I was doing when it came to breastfeeding. Having an LC come to my house the first week my daughter was born was not only amazing and convenient, but I also felt so supported emotionally during such a vulnerable time. My daughter is 3 months old and I have recently been having some issues with my supply as she's going through a growth spurt so I reached out for another consult. Linda and her team are lifesavers and I would not be breastfeeding right now without their guidance and help! Highly recommend working with them. read more

We found out on Saturday that my baby had Jaundice... our Pediatrician arranged for us to work with the Nursing Coach team at 2pm and by 5pm we had a Billie Bed installed at our home for baby to get immediate treatment... Coach Linda was very kind and patient with us and we will forever remember our experience and soak the information we got as new parents and use it to help us better take care of our baby! read more

They really know what they are doing! Such a good experience with Linda Hanna. Anyone looking for support, you can't go wrong with any Nursing Coach. They even followed up and sent someone over to review with me. Also, you get a free month of free chat and online mommy support groups. Amazing company!! read more

I worked with Linda and Jennifer with my newborn. My baby and I had challenges with breastfeeding and it was a high priority for me to get him nursing. They worked closely with me at my pediatrician's office and with close follow up at home, phone calls, and regular emails. Linda is a true expert with breastfeeding and infant development. She was a wealth of knowledge about any questions and concerns my husband and I had. She's dedicated to her clients and puts her heart into helping you meet your goals. She also helped refer us to experts for continued medical care through her network of trusted physicians in the community. Not many clinicians are as committed to their client's well being and progress as Linda is, working off the clock, and around the clock, to provide ongoing support. also found Mahmee.com's online articles very helpful and good references as we navigate our newborn's feeding experience. We will continue to stay connected to My Nursing Coach as breastfeeding is an ongoing journey and requires support. read more

Had the best experience!!! They came highly recommended by my sons doctor. Meghan was amazing!!!! She really helped me by showing me the best techniques to breastfeed my son. He lost a lot of his birth weight so I was very worried. She made me feel so much better knowing I was doing a good job and he wasn't starving. She even recommended a supplement for me to take since I also have PCOS and that can mess with my milk supply. The doctors don't tell you about that when you are in the hospital. The website is great because you can correspond with them by messaging. The service is worth every penny! They are amazing. I like knowing that I can contact them with any questions and they are quick to respond. I would recommend them to anyone that is having issues breastfeeding!!!!!! read more
