From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with such warmth and kindness. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely helpful, not pushy at all. They patiently answered all of our (many!) questions and helped us compare different stroller options based on our lifestyle and needs. We left feeling confident in our decision, which is such a huge relief as first-time parents! The store itself is absolutely adorable--full of the cutest baby items you can imagine, from thoughtful gifts and baby clothes to nursery must-haves. You can tell everything is curated with care. It has that perfect boutique vibe without being overwhelming or overpriced. Babies in Bloom is a true gem for anyone preparing to welcome a little one. We left not only knowing what stroller we want, but with a big smile on our faces. Highly, highly recommend!

It really feels catered to our family, and not just a one size fits all approach. We've opted for in home visits and she's left us feeling so positive and hopeful every time.

After 4 months of seeing multiple lactation consultants, hours on google, nipple shields, gas…read moredrops, and lots of "what is wrong with my baby" moments I met Jaren. I attended her lactation support meeting when my baby was 4 months old as my last effort and within a few weeks she identified the issue (tongue tie), my baby got the procedure done and went from exclusively pumping the first 4 months to exclusively breastfeeding. It's a Christmas miracle! There were a lot of old school doctors and lactation consultants that told me "it's bottle preference", "it's just her personality", "just save yourself the pain and stop". My baby actually physically couldn't eat! Jaren was observant, kind, patient, and professional with lots of great tips. I would recommend full crcl and Jaren to any frustrated momma!

Cindy is absolutely incredible!!! We feel so lucky to have connected with her seven months ago. Our…read moretwo and a half year old twins were born at 26 weeks and had various developmental delays. Before we started seeing Cindy, they were barely talking. In the last seven months, they have gone from saying a few words to talking constantly and showing true engagement with the world around them! In addition, she has helped them develop new gross and fine motor skills, an understanding of imaginary play, and new social and cognitive skills. Our boys absolutely love their time with Miss Cindy! She always makes sure they are comfortable when introducing new activities and skills so they can approach it with a sense of confidence that allows them to be successful. She is a wonderful resource for information related to delays, behavioral modification, and normal parenting issues. We are going to miss her so much when we start preschool this fall! I can't recommend Cindy enough- she is truly amazing!!

She's super knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and you can tell she genuinely cares about what she does and the parents she works with. I learned a ton from her and actually looked forward to going to class every week. She made everything comfortable and real instead of just feeling like another class I had to get through. I'm really grateful I ended up taking this class with her, and I would 100% recommend Janae to any parent. Thank you for everything!!

I attribute my success in breast-feeding entirely to Janae. I hired her for a prenatal consultation…read morewhere she taught me how to hand Express colostrum to the point where I had collected ample before my baby was born five days later. Additionally, I hired her for a postpartum visit, where she helped alleviate engorgement in my breast. I would have paid triple for her advice and her guidance for-feeding. She completely changed the game for me and my son. I am no longer inflamed, the engorgement in my breast is manageable with her massage techniques, and my positioning, while breast-feeding allows for my baby to maximize eating. She is worth her weight and gold and is a complete godsend. I would highly recommend her for anyone who is pregnant or recently postpartum because she will completely change your life for the better.

Upon my search for a lactation consultant via Yelp, I was really hopeful that Ms. Sara accepted Tricare, and low and behold she does! I checked one day for availability and realized the next day that she fills up fast! What I have to say is if you have any breastfeeding needs, then MAKE YOUR APPT ASAP WITH SARA. She has an extensive pre-visit form which gives her an idea of what we are looking for. I had issues with latching & my pump supply, and she provided coaching, encouragement & hands on assistance at the very first visit. She is educated, relatable, fun & just an absolute delight. It feels so nice to have someone like her to come to my house when I was feeling so hopeless and lost about my breastfeeding needs. As a new mother, having someone like her is a god send. I had nothing but smiles when my baby latched. For Sara, it was like leading a moth to a flame. She also provides follow up documentation that details what we went over, any resources related to breastfeeding (apparel, creams, etc) and her # for any follow up questions. I am so thankful to have met such a wonderful person, and am positive she will help so many others w/ their needs. Thank you Sara!

I am proud to say that our son is 100% breastfed, and is very happy and healthy. I cannot thank you enough for the peace that has come from your services.

The support she gives is amazing. she is always so calm and kind and truly cares about helping you. It makes you feel really comfortable. Breastfeeding is not easy but having Julie is a godsend!!

We knew that when she was in our home, he was in wonderful hands and we could rest, worry free. I am very detail oriented myself and could tell that Jola is as well and is the consummate professional. Her services were worth every penny and we would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Her baby knowledge is second to none - our daughter has had a few health issues that Jola diligently helped us troubleshoot. She got us on a great schedule, and heading into month 4 we are confident that our household will be sleeping reasonably well. We also have 2 dogs that can be a handful... She was very patient with them. I really can't say enough good things about Jola. It feels like she's a member of our family now.

I was first greeted by Cristi, the executive director and midwife. She made me feel at ease and made me and my husband feel very comfortable. The birth center itself is in a peaceful community in Fallbrook. It has 3 birth rooms to choose from that are themed differently. I believe I chose the green room which acquired to my liking and it was extremely peaceful. The rooms are a good size and very comfortable. My birth experience was just perfect thanks to my midwife Debbie and the student midwives, Azure and Mel. They were so patient, kind, and so knowledgeable. I believe I met most of the midwives and they are all lovely. I love how you get to do your birth, your way, and the midwives guide you while following your lead. I don't trust traditional hospitals and I would much rather do a holistic birth with midwives, just as it has been done for ages. I would choose Acorn over and over again if I were to have more children. I even had to switch my health insurance just so I could give birth at the center versus a hospital and it was so worth it. It was such a beautiful experience.

This review has been long overdue. My first 3 were in the…read morehospitals with epidurals and my last two experience was unmedicated at Acorn. I never thought I would ever do a natural birth... but here I am! I will start by saying, natural birth is HARD. I went into my first unmedicated birth not knowing what to expect but I prefer it that way but boy was I determined!!!! Second time around I was nervous, anxious.. all the things! My first experience was great, although after labor I experienced some hemorrhaging. Once staff figured what was wrong they acted fast and I was relieved. It was a little traumatic for me but it didn't taint my experience with Acorn. I came back for round two!!! 2nd time around two years later! I delivered my baby girl on February 20th, my experience from start to end was amazing. During labor the team gives you and your partner space, during those moments were truly special. And probably one of my favorites. I had Cristi Sedona and Kyra for my team! And I would choose the same 3 every-time. Each of them brought a different vibe, but it was a mix that you need on your team! I can't thank them enough for making each experience so special, For me my husband and my family! If I was having more kids, no questions asked... I would do it again.... and again....
