| - Amey is so awesome! I believe without her help, I would have given up breastfeeding after the first couple of weeks. First of all, it so helpful when you're overwhelmed with a new baby and everything that Amey comes to your house. During her first visit to my home, she was able to see that my baby had a slight tongue tie, torticolis (tightening in her neck and shoulder on one side), and also some head flattening on that same side because of the way she laid in utero - all of these things created breastfeeding issues for my little one. (I had met with an LC at the hospital, but she never mentioned any of these things being the possible reasons for why we were having trouble right off the bat.).
By the time Amey left that first day, baby was breastfeeding pretty well with a nipple shield, which was a huge improvement. Long story short, we had the tongue tie revised and baby is going through physical therapy for the other issues and we're all doing 100% better. It's been a process for sure and each day has gotten better, but without Amey's help I don't think I would still be breastfeeding my baby.
Amey also offers a wonderful 0-9 month breastfeeding mommy and baby support group every Wednesday. It's SO nice to go and weigh your baby, do pre and post feed weighs, and best of all, talk through general new mom stuff (the good and the not so fun) with the other moms!
