Little Bean Lactation

Eileen was a wonderful support especially for a first time Mom in need of help and struggling with breastfeeding. Eileen has a great warmth and kindness which made me feel so comfortable during the sessions and she was able to help with improving latching, assessing for tongue tie and showing me tips and tricks. I would recommend Eileen very highly to anyone needing lactation support.

Eileen is absolutely amazing! She is very kind, knowledgeable and supportive. She answered all my questions and provided me with so many resources. My baby is having trouble latching but after just one session we are already seeing positive results.

We reached out to Little Bean Lactation when our daughter was 11 weeks old and we were struggling with slow weight gain issues. I was determined to exclusively breastfeed, but at that point we had been triple feeding (nursing, pumping, and supplementing) for a few weeks and it was beginning to take a toll.

During our first visit, Eileen observed that our daughter had a posterior tongue tie that might be impacting her feeds. She advised us to seek out physical therapy as well as having the tongue tie release. Due to travel plans, we weren't able to have the release done until 16 weeks, but Eileen was patient and helped coach us through continuing to supplement to ensure that our baby was getting the calories she needed. Finally, around 20 weeks, we saw some progress from the procedure. We were diligent about doing oral rehab exercises and continuing to work with Eileen and our physical therapist. We went from triple feeding to returning to nurse 100% full time and I couldn't be happier.

At our first visit, I wasn't sure how much longer I would be able to continue breastfeeding and was under a lot of pressure to stop, but now I know that I can do it as long as both myself and my daughter want to thanks to Eileen's help and guidance!

Eileen is AMAZING. I’m a third time mom who’s already had two extended, but rough, breastfeeding journeys. I didn’t think I had much to learn. Boy, was I wrong! I can confidently say that issues with breastfeeding and production when I go back to work are a thing of the past! My supply has never been better and my baby is eating so much better than my others. He had a tongue tie which could have easily been an overwhelming experience but Eileen gently and kindly helped us navigate it. It was not an easy experience but we felt confident we were doing the right thing for our baby because of Eileen’s experience. Thank you so much Eileen! Please don’t hesitate - go with Little Bean Lactation! You won’t regret it! ☺️

I am so grateful that I found Eileen to help us through our breastfeeding journey. My baby and I had a rough start as she had an undetected tongue tie that multiple health professionals missed despite showing many signs. I worked with multiple lactation consultants prior to Eileen and none measured up to her.

Eileen showed compassion, patience, and a true desire to help. I never felt rushed or judged unlike other experiences. She truly understood how emotional and stressful it could be for a mother who is having difficulties with breastfeeding and supported us with such gentle suggestions and care. Eileen not only helped with breastfeeding but genuinely cared about the mental health aspect of it and I feel was the only health provider (of many!) that cares enough to encourage me to seek support and provided plenty of references. Thank you, Eileen! My little bean and I were able to move back to being exclusively breastfed and she is thriving at 6 months!
