TESTIMONIALS
Parents Recommend
Caitlin & Baby Eli
I would highly recommend Brooke. Breastfeeding feels so incredibly personal and vulnerable. When things are not going well it can feel like failure. I met with Brooke when by baby was just 6 days old. She put me completely at ease, listened to me, and gave me exactly the information I need to remedy my problem. Besides helping me, she gave me the tools I needed to have a successful breastfeeding experience. My healthy, happy baby boy is nearly 8 months old now and breastfeeding is still going very well. I personally feed so capable and confident in my bodies ability to feed him well thanks to Brooke.
Sue & Baby Jameson
I can't thank Brooke enough for her breastfeeding strategies, recommendations and help. She recommended some breastfeeding products for my baby and I. They have completely changed breastfeeding for the better for both of us! My son is breastfeeding great and is now a breeze and joy to feed.
Reshma & Baby Liya
Brooke was absolutely amazing! I can't say enough about how glad I am to have found her amidst all the craziness of those first few weeks postpartum. I was in so much pain, about to give up breastfeeding all together because I could not handle it anymore but that all changed when I reached out to Brooke. Brooke made me feel very comfortable, she was super resourceful and made it her mission to help me figure out what was going on. She really is one of the kindest people I've ever met. We worked together for several weeks and together we completely resolved my latch and pain issues. Im so grateful for her help, patience and kindness. Im 5 months postpartum now and my daughter is thriving on breastmilk!
