Testimonials

"Hi Stephanie! I wanted to send another thank you and an update. We just had his 4 month check up and he's doing great! He hasn't had formula in about 2 months and has been exclusively breastfeeding!
I never thought we'd get to this point and I'm so thankful for your knowledgeable and caring help."
- Valley Pediatrics of Greenwich Mom (2024)

"Thank you so much! He is thriving because of your help - we are so grateful!"
- Stamford Mom (2023)

"I genuinely am grateful. Your calm advice is in my ear when it gets hard and helps me to feel more patient with myself and him."
- Florida Mom of 3 (2023)

"Thank you so much it was so helpful and lovely to meet you yesterday! We have had all successful feeds since you were here with lying down. Will try laid back today now that we have been back on track.
Feel so much better and very much appreciate the help! "
- Greenwich Mom (2023)

"How lucky was I to have been able to work with Stephanie again with my second child. Despite my daughter arriving 6 weeks early, she is happy and healthy on breast milk and just celebrated her 4 month birthday. I am so grateful for Stephanie's help once again!"
- Greenwich Mom (2022)

"I'm doing SO much better. Thanks again for all your help. I can't tell you how much I appreciated being able to connect with you quickly when it felt like everything was going south. "
- M.B. from Maryland (2021 Virtual Visit)

"I was a bit wary about doing a virtual session...boy was I wrong! Stephanie was amazing. My baby is way calmer, she takes the breast for longer, and I am not in any pain. Previously my breastfeeding sessions were stressful and now they are pleasant. This all happened in one session. I wish I would have reached out sooner."
- New York Mom (2020 Virtual Visit)

"I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to meet with me this week, you’ve been an immense help and comfort and I am so appreciative! "
- New York Mom (2020 Virtual Visit)

"Hi Stephanie, it was nice to see you again. It reminded me what a big part of my early breastfeeding journey you were, and how you helped me so much to get past the hard beginnings that are easy to forget once it starts going more smoothly. It was trying in the beginning but since week 3 of his life until now at 9 months, we have never looked back and I'm so happy we fought to exclusively breastfeed. It's been wonderful for our relationship and his health. So I just wanted to say thank you - for your help back in the day, and once again today. Have a good weekend! "
- Cos Cob Mom (2020)

"Stephanie is wonderful! After her visit, I was able to switch from bottle feeding my little one to almost exclusively nursing. She’s extremely helpful and caring. She gave me the confidence I needed to make the switch, and even followed up with us to see how we were doing after her visit. I’m so grateful to Stephanie for helping us in our breastfeeding journey! "
- Harrison Mom (2020)

"Thank you again so much for coming last Monday. We've had a great week of relaxed, side lying feeds and I am so much more comfortable and confident since you were here... I really appreciate your time and advice and have been feeling better this whole week!"
- Sara, Stamford Mom (2020)

"Good Morning! It's been great so far. We have been breastfeeding since we left you yesterday! You are truly a blessing. Thank you so much"
- Westchester Mom (2019)

"Stephanie gave me so much hope when I thought I had no choice but to give up nursing. Now my son is thriving on breast milk! I am so grateful for her support, kindness, warmth, and of course tremendous guidance!"
- Greenwich Mom (2019)

"It’s such a miracle that I’m able to breastfeed him exclusively! Thank you! You gave me the confidence that I can do it!"
- Greenwich Mom (2018)

"Hi Stephanie - I wanted to thank you - after your visit we saw the doctor you suggested and then had Thomas's tongue and lip ties cut. About a week later the pain was entirely gone. The feeding has been so much better and he can use his tongue finally. I can’t believe what a difference that made! I’m so glad we saw you! I’ve been meaning to give you an update and wanted to THANK YOU!"
- Stamford Mom (2018)

"My husband and I are so appreciative of all you did. It literally was night and day after you came. Andy went from being fussy and crying all night to calm and happy. By the way, Andy had her 7 week doctor visit today and she was 10.2 lbs!"
- Connecticut Mom (2016)

"I wanted to thank you for your kindness and eagerness and availability to help me. Leah just latched on my right breast for almost 20 minutes and fell asleep. We napped together after. You have given me the confidence and tools to keep going and get back on the right path to my goal of breastfeeding her and having that relationship with her. I will keep you updated and look forward to seeing you again soon. Thank you again! All our best,"
- Greenwich Mom (2016)

"Stephanie- I just want to thank you again for this morning. I have been nursing on my left breast, it looks and feels so much better, and have NOT even needed to use the shield and/or pump! Level 0 pain too! I really appreciate your guidance and feel so incredibly positive moving forward!"
- Westchester Mom(2016)

"I was really anxious about returning to work and uncomfortable with pumping. Your visit put me at ease and gave me a practical, approachable way forward. I'm so thankful for all of the advice. Everything has been going well."
- Greenwich Mom (2016)

"Stephanie is a miracle worker! My newborn stopped latching after being introduced to the bottle in the hospital due to weight loss. I tried another lactation specialist prior to Stephanie with no luck and had become very frustrated, triple feeding, pumping 8-12 times a day. I was referred to Stephanie and she offered to come to my home even though it was a holiday weekend. Within 10 minutes of arriving, my baby had latched on and has ever since. I was so impressed with her professionalism and incredible results. She is truly amazing!"
- Connecticut Mom (2015)

"You were a huge help. I'm so happy that Alexander is fed and doesn't need formula"
- New York Mom(2015)

"Thank you so much for everything! You saved our breastfeeding relationship, and we're truly grateful ☺"
- Mamaroneck Mom (2015)

"Initially, breastfeeding was easy. But then I had to deal with an oversupply. Around week 3, I developed mastitis. Fortunately, I called Stephanie. I don’t know what I would have done without her instruction, encouragement, and calm, positive demeanor.
And she continues to support me! She calls at least once a week to check in and see how we are doing."
- Jennifer, Connecticut (2014)

"Stephanie went above and beyond to help me. I called desperate because I wasn’t producing enough for my little one. She told me not to worry and was at my house 2 hrs later. She focused her energy on what my goals were for BF. I was barely pumping 1/2 oz when I called her and at the end of 6 weeks I was able to produce 4 oz pumping. My baby girl is now able to have 80% of her feedings with breast milk.
Stephanie is incredibly helpful, warm, and friendly. She took the time to explain everything to me, providing tips and offering her continued support. She's since followed up on our progress, and has gone out of her way to make us feel looked after. She has been a life saver and I cannot recommend her enough for any new Mom in doubt or experiencing difficultly. She even stopped by with homemade lactation cookies. I could not be more impressed with her patience, concern and dedication."
- Port Chester Mom2014)

"Thank you so much for all your help. I'm glad you were there to cheer me on! So happy I didn't give up nursing. Thank you so much, words can't express my gratitude!"
- Harrison Mom (2014)

"Stephanie, I can't thank you enough for your invaluable lessons, and support. I feel more confident now that I can breast feed for at least 6 months to a year. I plan to continue practicing what you taught me. You are truly a miracle worker.
Thank you again for the cookies! I ate them all that day, it was so good!"
- Rye Mom (2014)

"Stephanie was wonderful. She gave me tips on breastfeeding and helped my baby get a better latch. I looked forward to her visits. She was a great help when I needed it the most. Thanks Stephanie!"
- Greenwich Mom (2012)

"My life changed the day Stephanie came over. I felt as if the weight of the world was taken off my shoulders. I was surprised at how much I could trust someone who I had just met. She gave me the most important gift- hope...hope that things were going to get better. When my husband came home that night, I greeted him with a smile for the ﬁrst time in weeks.
Stephanie is kind, patient, trustworthy, compassionate and professional. She truly knows what a mother needs. My only regret is that I did not call Stephanie sooner!"
- Greenwich Mom (2012)

"I was so overwhelmed with everything I called Stephanie crying one day and asked her if she can come and help me. She came right away. She supported me during my challenges with breastfeeding.
Stephanie was a real asset. I am so thankful for all her help."
- Greenwich Mom (2012)

"Thank you! Stephanie- you were fantastic and a huge help!! Thank you!!!"
- Rye Mom (2012)

"Stephanie is amazing! She was such a big help to us during this time of celebration and transition!
I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone who wants a caring, helpful, and positive spirit in their home when they welcome a new addition!"
- Connecticut Mom (2012)
