Breastfeeding Classes & Consultations

I had always thought of breastfeeding as an innate thing that I was just going to know how to do — you have a baby, you breastfeed, simple as that. It wasn’t until I read some things near my due date that I panicked and thought, “Hang on a second, I don’t know where to even begin.”

I’m so thankful my husband and I took Anna’s breastfeeding course. After three short hours, we felt armed with so much interesting and useful information. I went from feeling like I knew nothing, to feeling like I knew enough to confidently begin breastfeeding my child.

After delivery, I scheduled an in-home consultation with Anna to check my son’s latch and discuss some of my concerns. Anna addressed all of my questions and concerns in an efficient and thorough manner. There was no wasted time in our session and again I felt armed with the information I needed to confidently take care of my child.

I will continue using Anna’s services as I hit breastfeeding roadblocks along the way. Having an experienced lactation consultant on your team is a huge help and worth every penny!

Anna came to me when I had just about given up on breastfeeding. I had been using a nipple shield with a syringe and catheter that I would supplement formula through in order to continue to try and breastfeed alternating with using the breast shield alone which would take over an hour.

I was frustrated and had given up when Anna came and helped me to get my son off of the breast shield. We were able to weigh him and confirm that he was transferring enough milk. This cut down on about 45 min of breastfeeding because my son was not transferring enough milk through the breast shield.

She was so helpful and answered all my questions about listening to my baby’s cues, how often to feed, comforting my baby, and appropriate techniques for breastfeeding. She also had many great tips on how to treat painful nipples and increase milk supply.

I cannot thank her enough for helping me to be able to breastfeed my son. Not only does he get all the great benefits of breastfeeding but we also get that special time to bond with each other. I cannot say enough about her services and what she did to help turn frustration into a wonderful time that I can now enjoy.
