Testimonials
“It takes a special kind of person to be able to work with a family just days after coming home from the hospital with a new baby, and Erica is that person! She is warm and thoughtful as well as extremely knowledgeable about everything feeding/baby related. She really focused on my baby and me and spent all the time we needed with us. I never felt rushed (even during the newborn feedings which seem to go on forever) which was so important to me as a new mom who had no idea what I was doing. Originally, I was hesitant to contact a lactation consultant because I didn’t want to be pushed into one way of feeding my baby, but that is absolutely not what happened with Erica. She listened to me and helped me figure out what was right for my specific situation; she was always considerate of my and my baby’s individual needs and family preferences. As my baby has grown, Erica has still been there to support us! She's helped us with starting solids, supply issues, and navigating pumping at work. Erica is the breastfeeding cheerleader I didn’t know I needed but am so thankful my baby and I have!” —AS
“Erica was great to work with. She is so kind, patient, and caring! It was helpful to have someone to reach out to when I had a question about nursing. She made me feel very comfortable, supported in my decisions, and made sure I understood everything she was talking about. With her help I was successful in establishing my milk supply and feeding my baby breast milk, which was my goal! If you're looking for a lactation consultant, I would highly recommend Erica!”—-AW
“I struggled with breastfeeding my first baby. I was bleeding, sore, and couldn't figure out why she always wanted to be attached. The doctors all told me she was fine and I finally called a lactation consultant in desperation one month into being a first time mom. That consultant was Erica and she was an absolute godsend. Within ten minutes, Erica said she was tongue tied and that it was all the way in the back so hard to see. She gave us all the information we needed and helped us get an appointment with a specialist. When I just couldn't get my supply up and emotionally couldn't do it anymore, Erica was supportive and encouraging. I called her while pregnant with my son (two years later), and she came within 48 hours after we got home from the hospital with him. Turns out he was tongue tied too. She came to help weekly and I was able to get his tie fixed and breastfeed for over a year before weaning him! If we decide to try breastfeeding after adoption, she'll be my first call! I'd recommend Erica to and and all moms who need some extra help and support!"—KT
“I reached out to Erica shortly after getting home from the hospital. As a first time mom, I didn’t know much about breastfeeding, but I learned a lot through working with Erica over several months. She is very knowledgeable and I always enjoyed when we met. She gave me a lot of confidence and always assured me that I was doing a great job. She was also always responsive to all of the questions I had. She helped me come up with a plan for pumping when I had to go back to work. I attribute my success to all of her help and support. I would highly recommend Erica for anyone looking for help with lactation.”—VJ
“Erica goes above and beyond. In addition to working on latch, tummy time, and post-surgical mouth exercises, she helped me to advocate for myself to access essential lactation services when I was unexpectedly hospitalized. She also encouraged me to stand up to my daycare when I didn’t like how they were handling my breastmilk or introducing solid foods. Words can’t describe all that she has done for my family through her lactation support services. I am a repeat client, and will return to her with any future lactation issues!”—-JA
“Erica is hands down the best! She is super positive and supportive! I never feel judged or stupid asking her my questions or running ideas by her. Even when I was having trouble feeding my son, she always found something positive to focus on as well, which helped me stay confident even when I didn’t feel that way. From answering questions in sessions to over text she is so helpful! She doesn’t jump to answer until she knows what is going on, but all her advice has worked!!!!!! Erica helped me get through mastitis twice!!! Being a new mom I was overwhelmed and stressed about breastfeeding Erica helped me! —OF
“Erica was monumental in my breastfeeding journey. I was having lots of pain while nursing for the first 2.5 months of my daughter’s life. I had multiple professionals tell me she didn’t have a tongue tie or any tightness, and I kept thinking it would get better but it never did. Finally I contacted Erica for another opinion, and she referred me to a pediatric dentist who was able to diagnose my daughter’s tongue tie and do the procedure in one visit. Erica provided so much support throughout the process and was very open with her communication. She saw me consistently and encouraged me so much. Now my daughter nurses successfully with no pain! Erica also has supported me in my transition back to work, and I seriously don’t think I’d still be breastfeeding without her. I am beyond thankful and I would recommend her to anyone!”—MB
