We love Catherine! She was a calm, friendly presence who offered really helpful guidance. Breastfeeding is hard and both mom and baby need to learn what they’re doing. If you have a painful latch, Catherine can help you and baby figure it out! In later appointments she helped us with the fit for my pump. If you are on the fence about whether or not you need a lactation consultant, trust me, you do! And Catherine is the best! Katie J. |
Definitely book an appointment with Catherine! She is very knowledgeable, up to date on the latest research, and provides very thorough care plans. I was skeptical about virtual LC services, but it was just as helpful as an in-person consultation. Pumping did not go very well with my first child, so I was focused on maximizing pumping during work this time around (for my second child) and Catherine helped me find the right products and create the right schedule to help me maintain my supply for an entire year. I sent her a video of pumping in action and she was able to quickly analyze it to provide feedback on technique through the (easy-to-use) portal. The most important thing is Catherine is caring and supportive - she reminded me regularly that I've done it once and can do it again, she was very affirming of my effort and hard work, and called out my wins and successes at each appointment. When my freezer broke and I lost 160 oz of my stash, she grieved this loss with me and gave me advice on how to rebuild (turns out I only needed 50 oz in the freezer at a time, which I was quickly able to replenish). LC services are vital if you're committed to breastfeeding, and I highly recommend using Catherine! Shraddha N. |
