Ana is AMAZING. I had a rough time breastfeeding my first baby 3 years ago and almost called it…read morequits after a two trips to a lactation consultant provided by my hospital, and mastitis the first month then my husband found Ana. In one evening, she helped me troubleshoot my breastfeeding and I got to enjoy feeding for 15 months. Fast forward to last week, my newborn was 3 days old and the pain of feeding was unbearable. I felt my PPD starting to set in because my body was already in pain from delivery. I remembered I had Ana's info and she came to see me the next day (very safely and cautiously) and again, fixed my problems in one session. Now I'm happy to feed my baby as much as possible and aren't supplementing with formula to give my nipples a break anymore. Ana is so professional, knowledgeable, and has a very calm bedside manner which helps when you're overwhelmed with doing something that is supposed to be natural but is actually not. I'll be recommending her while singing her praises on my roof. THANK YOU ANA!!

Ana is an angel who helped me when I was completely desperate and freaking out that my daughter…read morewould never properly nurse. She was very responsive and came to our home on a Sunday night, following all COVID protocols and being super careful. She talked to me about what was going wrong (bad latch, etc.), observed the baby, helped me reposition things and offered me a ton of tips. Ana also checked in on me multiple times to make sure it was all going okay (fortunately, things got much better). She's sent me helpful links and videos, and evaluated some photos when I was having some new pain. I really appreciated her gentle spirit, kindness and patience, and highly recommend her to any mama who can use some of that.

I would like to update my review from 2015. My daughter has just given birth to her second child…read more She received another breast pump from her insurance. After several attempts and asking a lactation consultant for help, she has now gone back to the Limerick pump. The other brand did not work for her at all! After much frustration, she decided to buy the "soft kit" from Limerick to go back to her original breast pump. It worked from the first try! The Limerick breast pump is superior to the competitors on the market.

I really liked this pump - powerful, yet small and easy to transport. Limerick is a family…read morebusiness, and it shows. Their customer service is incredible - on the phone or in person. And this matter, because if you depend on your pump, you want someone who can fix a problem for you right away. I highly recommend Limerick and their breast pump!

I will forever be grateful to The Family Room. I joined in my second month postpartum after a…read morefriend - who had previously attended - suggested it. The new parent classes have been everything I need. Having a consistent, knowledgeable, caring instructor provides a sense of calm and knowledge to help navigate a truly wild transition. If you can take a class with Liz - DO IT. The most important thing, though, is the community. You're paired with moms and babies all at the same stage, so you've got similar struggles, advice, and real time support. Plus lifelong friends. I came to the family room after finishing a postpartum therapy group and struggling to know where my community was. I'm so happy to find it here. If you're a new parent looking for a place to land and want others who will celebrate and cry with you and become your village, consider The Family Room.

Came for mom community, left for a burrito…read more I joined The Family Room when my daughter was about three months old because I was a happy, exhausted, completely-in-love new mom who genuinely wanted to meet other mothers and socialize my baby. And apparently that was my first mistake. And yes I did attend and am not a fake review or a bot. I had waited so long to become a mom that even the sleep deprivation, middle-of-the-night feeds, and newborn chaos felt like a privilege to me. I was tired, absolutely, but I was also genuinely in bliss. Meanwhile, so much of the conversation seemed to revolve around how miserable everyone was from the lack of sleep and night feeds. I quickly learned that being the mom who was actually happy to be there did not exactly earn you membership into the Cool Moms Club™. I was actually the one who created our group text. I collected everyone's numbers and started it because I genuinely wanted us to stay connected outside of class and have a little community of new moms supporting one another. Ironically, I somehow became the person slowly excluded from the very group I created. As I got busier handling my businesses and couldn't attend every single class, the dynamic gradually changed. Then one of the last moms to join eventually asked me to essentially hand over control of the group chat I had created so they could continue it without me. The audacity was almost impressive. At that point I decided everyone could create their own group chat, wished them well in spirit, blocked the whole situation, and carried on with my life. Nothing quite says "supporting women during one of the most vulnerable transitions of their lives" like staging a tiny corporate takeover of another mother's group text. The part that really bothered me, though, was the lack of support from someone who was actually supposed to be providing it. I came to a lactation specialist with a breastfeeding concern and felt completely dismissed, while the mother sitting right next to me brought up essentially the same issue and received attention and support. I remember sitting there feeling completely invisible. I walked out crying and that was my last class. Shame on you for playing favorites. I was also one of only a couple of mothers breastfeeding, and whether that played into the dynamic, I can't say. But there was definitely an odd competitive energy around everything. My husband came with me to one of the new parent groups, and because space was limited, there were complaints. Then suddenly other husbands started showing up too, and somehow even bringing your spouse to a parenting group began to feel like an Olympic event. The whole experience started feeling less like "new moms supporting new moms" and more like a high school cafeteria with middle school girls rather than women lifting other women up. There was gossip. There was making fun of people. There were obvious cliques. There was a strange obsession with being one of the cool moms. And here I was thinking these babies are blessings why is everyone so miserable to have a baby? Maybe I simply landed in an unfortunate group, and I sincerely hope other mothers have had warmer experiences. But those first months of motherhood are incredibly tender. Women walk into spaces like this hoping to find community, reassurance, and maybe someone who understands what 3 a.m. feels like. No new mother deserves to walk out feeling invisible or deliberately excluded. Eventually, I stopped going. I got myself a burrito instead with my sidekick daughter in tow. The burrito was warm, comforting, dependable, and never once attempted a hostile takeover of my group chat. 10/10 for the burrito. Would absolutely choose it again.

Jennifer was WONDERFUL to work with - helpful, encouraging and always available. I really struggled…read morewith breastfeeding my first few months and she made me feel immediately comfortable and like it was something I could do. She has been able to diagnose and coach me through multiple issues (painful latch, mastitis) and I am now almost exclusively breastfeeding on demand with minimal discomfort. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about Jennifer...I worked with other lactation consultants before…read moreand they couldn't help me with my son's latch. Jennifer came to my house and showed me how to do it right immediately!! 10000% an expert, hands on, practical and super responsive to any additional questions. She also routinely reached out to me to check in and make sure we were doing well. I am recommending her to anyone I know. Super easy to make appointments with and very punctual which you will definitely appreciate when your baby is young and nurses frequently. I even texted her months after our sessions ended for help with my mastitis and she was super helpful, she is a great resource!

I can't recommend Sara enough! I was struggling with breastfeeding and experiencing so much pain…read morethat I stopped breastfeeding altogether and began exclusively pumping. Sara was kind, caring, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made me feel like I wasn't the problem and reassured me that breastfeeding challenges are completely normal. Instead of only focusing on my baby's latch, she took the time to identify that my baby was also having sucking issues. She patiently worked with both of us, showed me exercises to improve my baby's sucking, and taught me how to achieve a deeper, more comfortable latch. She also took the time to make sure I was using my breast pump correctly, helped me find the right flange size, and explained why it made such a difference. She reassured me that I didn't have to push through severe pain while breastfeeding and that it was okay to give my body time to heal. She created a plan that allowed me to continue protecting and building my milk supply while gradually working toward comfortable breastfeeding. Thanks to her guidance, I'm finally able to breastfeed with little to no pain. I'm incredibly grateful for her kindness, expertise, and genuine care. She truly goes above and beyond to support both moms and their babies, and I highly recommend her to any new mom looking for compassionate and effective lactation support.

Sara was one of the first people I turned to when I had my son. As a first time mom, learning how…read moreto breastfeed and making sure I was doing it right was VERY overwhelming. Sara was available to answer all my questions and was very patient and reassuring. Every time I would panic, Sara was able to calm me down and give me excellent advice. I cannot recommend her enough! Having a great lactation consultant is essential when you have a newborn and she is one of the best!

I cannot recommend Mahmee highly enough. After receiving some very bad advice at the hospital, I…read morehad 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.

This business is really great for both new and seasoned moms!…read more 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.

Sharon is a very special and one of a kind birth specialist. She has a great medical background, is…read moreenthusiastic, and just pure joy to work with. We met her initially at a class through the Mother's Haven and were so impressed by her that we ended up booking a private session. Sharon was thoughtful, focused on our questions/concerns and honestly made some of the scarier components of giving birth fun. Highly recommend her and would sign up for one of her sessions again in a heartbeat.

This review was a long time coming. My little angel came three weeks early and we have been rocking…read moreat life ever since. He is a happy and healthy baby boy. Sharon is such a wonderful person. My husband and I found her through Yelp and had a great time in her Lamaze class and early infant class. Sharon was so welcoming and made the experience as first time parents so special for us and eased a lot of our anxiety. I don't think I would have been as mentally prepared as I was if I did not take her classes. I would even say emotionally too because I had to do a lot of healing with losing my first angel. Thank you so much Sharon. Our little Rami is doing wonderful. You were such a great impact on our journey as first time parents and have our upmost respect. Please keep doing what you're doing because first time parents really need you!

Managing my breast milk supply was such a challenge as a new mom. I was getting conflicting…read moreinformation and was suffering from mastitis. Additionally I was challenged with more misinformation about breastfeeding my baby. Thanks to the help of yelpers, I found Christina! She made an appointment with me as soon as possible and brought her scale. My baby was very fussy and Christina helped me to understand that sometimes it's not soothing techniques and maybe it's an underlying issue that's going on that was causing the fussiness. Furthermore she helped me understand how lactation works and has helped me gained more control over my milk supply. I got a lot of my sanity back once I was able to have a more balanced lifestyle while being able to feed my baby. Christina is so sweet. She really cares about moms and is there to talk to in case we just need someone to talk to. She is always open and willing to have a direct conversation without the fluff. I really appreciate finding her and being able to work with her.
