2/22/2023 Nidhi, Poughkeepsie NYI can’t express my gratitude enough for all the support and knowledge I received from Danielle. I am a queer identified, single mom by choice and before I gave birth, I chatted with several doulas & lactation consultants to see who I felt the most comfortable with considering my unconventional path to motherhood. From our first contact, I immediately felt comfortable with Danielle. I knew I wanted to breast feed, but my son had trouble latching (to the breast and bottle) and I was also under-producing. Danielle helped identify a lip & tongue tie my son had (which my pediatrician did not see) and recommended a dentist for the revision. After the procedure there was improvement in my son’s latching. Though he still struggled with fully latching to the breast, likely due to me under producing and his frustration, Danielle worked painstakingly with us, helping us in so many ways for him to latch.
As a first time mom, I was disappointed that I was under-producing and only able to give my son a bit of breast milk a day through pumping, Danielle always made me feel proud of what I was able to produce. She continuously checked in with me on my mental health and wanted to make sure I wasn’t getting too distressed. When I decided to stop pumping and go fully to formula, she was incredibly supportive and made me feel empowered with my decision. Being a first-time mom and having a newborn is so challenging and I was overcome by how overwhelming it all was. Danielle was such a calming, reassuring, and knowledge presence. I am incredibly grateful to her and highly recommend her. Comments are closed.
