If you have trouble breastfeeding I highly recommend speaking with a lactation consultant. Being a…read moremom is hard and stressful. You need support and guidance on breastfeeding. 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. After Aliza, I no longer feared breastfeeding because of the pain. Both my milk supply and the latch has improved. Breastfeeding is no longer something that I hate and fear. 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.

I was in a desperate situation.

Dr. Kurz was a lifesaver when it came to breastfeeding my second daughter! With my first I was…read morenever confident enough and would pump every single meal and bottle feed her. She helped me get over all my fears and also taught me so many techniques like proper latch and comfortable feeding positions for me and my baby girl. Thanks to her we've been breastfeeding for 5 months strong and the only thing I regret is not going to her sooner!

Dr. Kurz is the best! After being in the hospital for 4 days seeing numerous lactation consultants,…read moreDr. Kurz was able to identify my daughter's posterior tongue tie in 1 minute. She recommend 3 different doctors to have it corrected, and after leaving her office we had the procedure at the first appointment available. We called Dr.Kurz and she saw us immediately afterwards, with no appointment, to help us get baby breastfeeding. My daughter has not had a bottle since! It's so convenient to have a pediatrician who is also a lactation consultant, and a mother that is so knowledgable, and truly cares. Dr. Kurz always responds to emails, which is great for a first time mom who is worried about everything. I'm forever grateful for Dr. Kurz for helping me accomplish something so very important to both my baby and I.

Maria saved my family…read more I was referred to Maria from a friend. I was concerned about my baby's temperament and BF habits. I had already seen two other lactation consultants and he was my second so I had some experience but knew something was off. He was 5.5 months old. Maria has experience and knowledge and fearlessly shares it with you. I as a Mom needed to hear what she had to say and in the way she said it. She believed a number of my son's symptoms: not pooping every day, colic, constant crying, not liking tummy time, and sleep issues were caused by a tongue and lip tie. She was confident that having them released was the solution. To be honest I was skeptical and tremendously nervous about the procedure but we had nothing to lose. The procedure was the solution. She was right. Immediately following the release he started popping regularly, his whole body relaxed, and 10 months later we have a happy baby who is still exclusively breastfeeding. Thank you Maria. My family is so grateful for you.

I can't recommend Maria and Postpartum Place enough. After a terrible first few weeks of trying to…read moreget my son to latch, as well as a bad experience with another LC in Morristown, Maria was a miracle worker. She got my baby to latch instantly, calmed my nerves, and gave me hope to do it on my own. She was available 24/7 for texts and video calls, which was so helpful at home. She is also a bodywork and tongue tie specialist, which has been a tremendous help for my son. Maria is kind, compassionate, knowledgable, and professional. So glad we found her!

She also got my toddler to nap now - who was refusing for several months. Wow!!!! She's completely changed the sleeping dynamic in my home for the better. She's truly amazing! I am so so so fortunate to have found her, she's a gem!

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!

I cannot emphasize what a crucial part of my pregnancy and daughter's birth Stephanie was for us…read more Stephanie provided the exact support we needed; from the moment we hired her to the days leading up to my labor to the birth of our daughter to the days after and everything in between. Any question, request, guidance needed - Stephanie was there. She made us feel no shame in asking the smallest questions. She was clear about when something was evidence-based vs her intuition/experience. She never pushed us to do anything and was always supportive of decisions we made. It was important to me and my husband to have a natural birth, which was my main motivation to hire a doula. Truly could not have delivered this baby without Stephanie (I mean, I would have, of course - but likely after much more pain and decisions I would later regret). She was with us on the phone (my husband, mostly) as soon as my water broke and she was with us in person by the time contractions got heavy to get us through the later stages of labor and the pushing/delivery process. Stephanie worked so in sync with the midwife and nurse on my delivery team - it took a village! In addition to Stephanie supporting me, she was also an amazing guide and support to my husband - equipping him with reading materials before delivery and coaching him on best ways to support me throughout labor and delivery. In the days after our baby was born, we talked to Stephanie every day. She visited us to make sure baby was latching properly, showed me some other tips and tricks for feeding, and has continued to provide us with guidance on feeding and pumping and all feeding things! When I become pregnant with baby #2, Stephanie will be among the first to know - could not imagine doing a totally natural birth again without her!

Hiring Stephanie as our doula was one of the best decisions we made while preparing for the birth…read moreof our first child. When my partner and I started looking into childbirth education, we quickly realized how much we didn't know and how overwhelming it could be to research everything on our own. From our very first meeting with Stephanie, it was clear how knowledgeable she is. She focuses heavily on evidence-based information, which was exactly how we wanted to approach decisions around birth. I became interested in attempting an unmedicated birth, although I was only about 60% confident I could actually do it. Stephanie never doubted me. From that point on, all of our preparation and meetings were geared toward helping me achieve that goal. She was always quick to respond to texts and emails and provided detailed, thoughtful information whenever we had questions. Stephanie also did an incredible job coaching my partner ahead of time so he knew how to support me during labor. In our prep meetings, she walked him through different techniques and ways he could help when things became intense. Because of that preparation, he was able to really play an active role during labor. Even during labor itself, Stephanie continued guiding him on how to support me in ways that were actually helpful in the moment. When things were very intense, she would gently coach him on what to do, whether that was how to help with breathing, positioning, or encouragement. If he wasn't sure whether something he was doing was helping, she gave him feedback and reassurance so he could keep supporting me confidently. That support for both of us made a huge difference. When my labor started, I was able to text Stephanie updates and questions and she was always quick to respond and help ease my worries. At one point she had another client in labor (which we knew was a possibility), but her backup doula came to my house and provided wonderful support until we went to the hospital. Stephanie met us there and immediately helped me focus on breathing and staying calm. The moment I'll always remember most was during the pushing phase. I was exhausted having been awake for nearly 36 hours, but Stephanie's coaching and encouragement made such a difference. Her reminders to breathe for the baby and "blow out the birthday candles for the baby," along with her steady counting and encouragement, helped me push through and ultimately deliver my baby the way I had hoped. One unexpected benefit of working with Stephanie is that she is also a lactation consultant. She helped us prepare for breastfeeding, explained how pumping works, and helped us troubleshoot breastfeeding our baby a few days after coming home. I didn't expect that level of support, but it ended up being incredibly helpful. Stephanie is incredibly knowledgeable and very honest. She gives you the information and may offer a recommendation, but she never pressures you if you decide differently. She's straightforward, fact-driven, and clearly very dedicated to her clients. Working with her truly showed me how valuable doulas can be. Stephanie was wonderful to work with, and I would not want to have another child without her by my side.

The building was easy to find and there was ample parking available in the lot so no issues on that front. I arrived early and was greeted by a friendly guy named Gilbert who was very accommodating throughout the whole process. The class itself was straightforward with Gilbert encouraging an interactive atmosphere while also answering any questions that he received to clarify anything. Since I had not done my BLS certification in a few years, I wasn't the fastest student he probably ever dealt with when it came to demonstrating skills but he was patient and gave me valuable pointers. Overall, I enjoyed taking my BLS certification class here and would consider coming here again for any other certifications I may need down the road.

She was knowledgable, funny, and kind. When it comes to breastfeeding - which is one of the hardest things that I ever did - I felt as though no one really talks about it. The clogged ducts, problems with latching, PAIN, exhaustion, mastitis, being tethered to your baby for what seems like forever, cluster feeding, low milk production, pumping, and on and on!!!! Tack on the guilt and shame you can feel when nothing seems to be going right, and you have yourself a recipe for a heaping dose of PPD. I was LOST and felt ALONE. Catherine not only knew what to do, she was an unconditional supporter of everything I needed and wanted to do throughout the process. No judgement. Not pushy. She always knew exactly what to say to steer my thought process into a productive and positive place (AND make me laugh). I cannot recommend her enough and I'm not sure what I would have done if she didn't come into our lives. I was able to make the best decisions about my breastfeeding journey for me and my baby BECAUSE of her. If you feel like any of the above, just know that there is help, and her name is Catherine :) Thank you, Catherine. Me and my little dude are forever grateful. Xo
