I came to the breastfeeding clinic hoping to find answers about why my newborn baby was struggling in pain after nursing. This is my second child and I was beyond exhausted and frustrated after a few weeks of no sleep. Laura observed us at the clinic and asked me questions related to our feeding schedule and the baby's behavior. She was able to diagnose the problem right away. She gave me helpful advice and printouts to reference later.
After just a few days of following Laura's advice, I can happily report that my son no longer needs re-flux medication, is nursing great, and we are both sleeping a lot more! As an exhausted mom of two, I appreciate that Laura is genuine, empathetic, encouraging, and very knowledgeable. Furthermore, Laura also remembered my family from the birthing classes we took with her from my first pregnancy. We already owe so much to her for those classes! She is also extraordinary in that she remembers the patients she has helped and taught before. Her way of relationship building with patients is so important in order to feel comfortable and trust the advice being given. Laura's knowledge and support have helped me successfully breastfeed both of my baby boys. I am forever grateful to her!
