"Julie helped me when me and my baby had horrible thrush. She supported us every step of the way and gave me great tips and advice for bringing my supply back up when it dropped."
"My first day back to work was so traumatic! Julie was literally there for me every step of the way. She gave me tips for how and when to pump, gave me advice for foods and herbs to increase my supply, and encouraged me as I was feeling really sad. Just having her there was so helpful for me to know I was not alone."
My first son was tongue-tied and because of a delay in diagnosis and treatment, my milk supply never was adequate. So with my second I asked my midwife and pediatrician who they would recommend, and without question they both recommended Julie. I called her when my son was 1 day old, and despite leaving for vacation the next day she came and did a home visit and then supported me via text and calls over the next few days. My 2nd son is now 5 days old, her referrals for the tongue and lip tie correction were spot on, and my milk supply is perfect and he is growing as expected.
Having worked with 3 different lactation consultants in the past with my 1st son I can say Julie is the most phenomenal consultant I've met! She is out of pocket for your visits, but the support you get via phone/text/email is well worth the up front cost. She also does group classes at GraceFull Birth Center on Tuesdays, which are $15 per session and the 1st one is free. I'll be following up with her there!
Julie is an amazing lactation consultant as well as a very knowledgeable speech therapist! Due to also being a speech therapist specializing in infants, I feel as though she understands the physiological and medical aspects of breastfeeding. She is very thorough and provides a great amount of information about breastfeeding. I felt very comfortable asking her any question. Julie has educated me about how to handle sore nipples, to know how much milk my baby needs for each feeding and gave me suggestions to help increase my milk supply. She is very friendly, patient, and I plan to continue to use her as a resource for any future questions or concerns that I may have about breastfeeding. Thanks Julie for all of your help!
Julie has always been extremely helpful to me ever since having my first baby, but especially with my second! My first was half breastfed and half formula, so when I was getting ready to have my 2nd baby my goal was to be able to produce enough milk for her to just be breastfed {Insert Julie Here}lol. Knowing that I was about to undergo another C-section. and all that entails, I wanted to make sure I was doing everything I could to not hinder my milk production after surgery. When expressing all of my hopes to Julie, she more than prepared me to breastfeed my new little one. Going in I couldn't have been more confident! Even on days when I was stressing because I thought my milk supply was low she would always give me tips to help. I would (and do) hands down refer Julie to anyone! She is amazing and extremely educated, not to mention she is also a pretty stellar mom! 🙂
Julie is wonderful. At the appointment she answered all of my questions. I felt empowered by all of the tools she gave me to have a better breastfeeding experience! Highly recommend her!
