Having my first baby I assumed that breastfeeding would be a breeze, I mean everyone made it look that way! It was so much more challenging than I had thought. I initially tried to get help from the lactation consultant at the hospital but only found myself frustrated as she tried to make me fit a cookie cutter mold and forced my baby to feed and latch. It was not helpful. Jacqueline was polar opposite. First off, coming to my home helped me to be far more relaxed as she worked with us in our environment. She also weighs the baby before and after feeding so that you know how much they're actually eating. This really helped to put me at ease to know that he's getting what he needs. I think my favorite part about Jacqueline is how knowledgeable she is about the body and overall health of the baby. She is a true expert in her field! Additionally she makes herself available to you for questions and concerns which is really helpful and comforting.
Dealing with a tongue tie and upper lip tie, we had a challenging and frustrating few weeks, but Jacqueline truly helped to make the process easier and educate me in how to best help my baby.
