I cannot recommend Julie enough! She was absolutely amazing to work with throughout my breastfeeding journey. From the very beginning, she was so easy to work with and incredibly responsive. I felt like I could text her essentially 24/7 with questions or concerns, and she was always so helpful, reassuring, and willing to communicate with me about exactly what I needed.
Julie came to evaluate my son's feeding, checked his size and weight, and helped size me for my pump and make sure I had the correct flange sizes. She was so thorough and made me feel comfortable and confident every step of the way. When I had a clogged duct, Julie was also there to help evaluate what was going on and guide me through it.
What I appreciated most was that Julie didn't just help me once and send me on my way. After my son and I had been breastfeeding for a month or two and had more time to establish our routine, she came back for another evaluation. She brought her own scale to weigh him, reassessed our feeding, and made sure everything was still going well. That follow-up was incredibly helpful and gave me so much reassurance.
Julie is knowledgeable, kind, patient, responsive, and genuinely cares about her clients and their babies. I truly could not have asked for a better lactation consultant. Had I not found Julie, I probably would have given up on breast feeding in those early weeks and she reassured me that I can make this journey whatever I wanted it to be and did not push me whatsoever to only breastfeed and to truly help me come up with a pumping/feeding schedule that I wanted to have with my son. I have already recommended Julie to friends who are pregnant and live in the area, and I will continue recommending her to anyone who is planning to breastfeed.
I am so, so grateful I found Julie and had her support during such an important and sometimes overwhelming time. She was absolutely amazing to work with! read more
