JA Lactation Support, IBCLC

We had engaged JA Lactation for a breastfeed education class prior to the arrival of our little one at the recommendation of our Doula. We attended the class and both found the class educational and worthwhile. Julie was available for questions upon baby’s arrival and was quick to assist when we reach out. We also contracted with her to assist in developing a frozen breast milk stash plan prior to my return to work, as well as boosting baby’s weight as her initial weight gain was a touch slower than desired. Throughout all of this, and even now, Julie has been, knowledgeable, and beyond responsive. We have been over the moon happy with Julie and confidently recommend JA Lactation!

Julie is an incredible lactation consultant. She saved our nursing relationship and was so supportive. She understood what was important to me and followed up weekly. I would recommend her to anyone who needs lactation help.

Julie is excellent! I recommend scheduling a consultation even if breastfeeding isn’t a challenge as she has a wealth of knowledge about all aspects of breastfeeding and is tremendously helpful throughout the process. It was a blessing to have been referred to her! Plus, she is incredibly personable and professional!

Julie was recommended to me by a friend of mine. I first met her at one of her breast-feeding support groups. This group was amazing! I was only able to attend one time because I had to return to work. It was so great to hear that I wasn’t the only one needing help. It was also great to hear from other moms and the challenges there were facing so I am now somewhat prepared if those challenges come up for me in the future. A few days later I met with Julie for a consultation in her office(she also offers in home consultations). The first thing I have to say is she made me feel so comfortable. I am a breastfeeding mom who prefers to remain covered, so the idea of having someone up close and personal while I was feeding made me nervous. Another concern I had was I would be overwhelmed by everything I would need to change to be more successful feeding and I would end up just giving up! Well the good news is Julie made me so comfortable I immediately forgot all of my worries and was able to completely engage in the session. She taught me SO much! And also praised me for things I was doing right! That always helps when you are doing something so “natural” that doesn’t come so “natural” to you. Julie also followed up with me after the consultation to see how everything was going(something extremely rare in health care these days). I cannot recommend Julie enough!

Julie is truly amazing! She is at the top of her game when it comes to problem solving and finding the issue(s) and working with mom, and baby to quickly resolve them. She is an expert and extremely knowledgeable. I have learned a lot from her and feel like I’m a better mom to my daughter because of her. I have met with other Lactation Consultants while in the hospital, and none of them could get my baby to breastfeed let alone latch. Julie worked with me and showed me proper technique, and made sure my baby was breastfeeding before she left my house on the first appointment. Julie is a bright light, and really does care, and that’s what sets her apart from everyone else. I highly recommend her for all aspects of breastfeeding!!!!
