Lactation Testimonials

Breastfeeding was so important to me, but I was about ready to give up after excruciating latches from my son the first night and day at home. When Shamina visited, she helped me get my baby on without pain for the first time since leaving the hospital and gave me the confidence to keep going with breastfeeding.

I cannot recommend Shamina enough. From day one I had a very hard time breastfeeding my daughter with all sorts of issues including under supply, latching problems and bad mastitis. I could have not gone through it all without the help and expertise of Shamina who made herself available straight away and showed us on how to solve these problems. Shamina was also critical in my emotional and psychological well-being during that time when the postpartum blues and lack of sleep really hit. Her emotional support and kindness I will never forget. Our daughter is 4 months now, growing, happy and breastfeeding without a problem.

-Eileen

Shamina’s lactation services really helped me get breastfeeding off to a great start with personalized, actionable advice. Her essential lactation support magically improved our baby's latch and made it possible for me to continue breastfeeding. I feel fortunate that I can continue to stay in touch with Shamina for her support and expertise. I would recommend her to anyone.
