I felt super isolated and lonely in motherhood (my mom, and MIL completely hands off and not helpful in the advice department) and I just felt utterly lost in being a new mother. As many new mothers do. I just didn't feel comfortable scouring the internet for answers. The new mom's class was super awesome! I learned so much and got to meet new moms just like me. I also was able to breast feed my son for 9 months (while working) Everyone is so kind, patient, and knowledgeable there. Gail and her staff care so much for the moms and families they impact everyday. Thank you!!

I went to New Mother New Baby today at 3 weeks postpartum. I had been struggling with latching and…read morehad a lot of pain pumping. I was ready to give up but decided to give a lactation consultant a try before throwing in the towel. I used mg insurance website to find options and selected this location based on reviews. I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Laura. She instantly put me at ease. After learning about my birth story and our journey she helped me learn to use my pump, size my flanges and was able to get a good latch within minutes. I was skeptical about if I could take what I learned and replicate it once home. I am happy to say I've done it twice since getting home today. I look forward to my follow up appointment and working with them to continue to improve my supply.

We used Parenting Partners to help find a surrogate to carry our second child. After many…read moreinfertility treatments and pursuits, we discovered I could not carry, and so we needed a solution for carrying our IVF embryos. Shirley was terrific to work with. She met with us and quickly learned a lot about what we were looking for and our perspective on surrogacy and very quickly matched us with the most wonderful woman who could not have been a better surrogate. After many years of challenges, this process went smoothly and was so much of a relief. I highly recommend Shirly and the Parenting Partners team.

Hi I'm Coach Wesley, I made a phone agreement with the owners of Swimtastic paying a lot of money…read moreto use the facility and pay for a sponsor. I reached out to them with my proposal and they called me back welcoming me and offering patches for my camp shirts. They made the arrangement for Saturday for me to come in and see the facility and sign the waivers and liability forms agreeing and working out a deal for 2 days a week. I come out of my own pocket for these kids and 30 minutes before our meeting she calls me with completely different energy a week later and super disrespectful saying "it is your fault you didn't come sign the deal sooner" and pretty much F*** you because now she has more customers due to my viral posts the whole week on social media's announcing our new sponsor and promoting Her new business. She said she would personally donate 2 hours Before the establishment was even open and told me she has a life and to bad. Most unprofessional new business in Kenosha Wisconsin. Money hungry and for a business that's pretty much for the kids this was a complete shock and she had no regards hurting over 43 young student athletes and burning bridges because of money. Definitely a no for me.

Sandra has been beyond helpful! We were struggling with how to best parent our 4 year old - from…read moredefiant behavior to staying in bed to not listening. Enter Sandra. She's a real life Supernanny without the cameras. Her approach is based on the RIE method which was new to us. We have had her come to our home weekly for the past 2 months and the change is noticeable. She will step in and coach you through how to both acknowledge your child's feelings and assert your role as a parent in a loving way. We can't imagine where we'd be without her! She's been instrumental in helping us become patient, understanding parents. Although we are still learning but we definitely are on the right path thanks to her guidance. If only we had called earlier.....

We met with Sandra to help with our two year old as we were having major bedtime struggles. Our…read moredaughter was going to bed at 11pm in our bed because she was resisting sleep so much. We were all beyond tired (also having a newborn who was waking through the night) and at a loss of how to get back on track. Sandra immediately assessed our situation and started sharing some parent coaching tips to help us know how to respond to our daughter's protests (and more importantly said, her needs). Sandra also followed up with articles and podcasts, all of which were beyond helpful. I have to say that Sandra left us with not only hope that things would get better if we continued her recommendations, but relief that we didn't have to resort to external tactics (we were using a sticker chart as reward for sleep and it was failing miserably). Instead, we found that we as loving parents have the power to respond in certain ways to help meet our daughter's needs. She started going to sleep around 9pm within days of having Sandra over. That is still later than we like but after a lot of work and many weeks we have reached a spot where our daughter no longer protests bedtime. And just yesterday she told me when she was tired and ready to go to bed! It has been a difficult journey and we probably could have gotten there sooner had we done more work with Sandra and sooner. I am so happy that what Sandra has shared with us can now be useful for other situations as well such as potty-training.
