Testimonial for Bobbi TheDoula
My third child Ashton was born on October 12, 2015. I knew something wasn't right with nursing from the very beginning. I had immediate pain from the time my son latched on to nurse and some times for hours after. I asked the nurses and the pediatrician to evaluate his latch and everything appeared to be normal. Being that this was my 3rd time as a nursing mother and knowing that nursing is a top priority of mine, I knew I had to do something. I started researching and came across tongue ties in infants. Once I saw that the pain matched what I was reading online, I went to a local mom group for advice. Bobbi immediately replied and was so knowledgable. She came out of her way to come to my house to check my son's tongue tie. I felt such a relief when she got to my house and had gloves, hand sanitizer, etc. I only say this because it made me feel comfortable that she was so prepared and following healthy guidelines. She checked my son's latch as well as for any sort of ties. She immeditely noticed he had a tongue tie. She stayed for a while after and answer my million questions. When she left I had almost everything answered. I knew how to relieve the pain, what my next steps should be, and what this means in the future. It took me a while for relief and to get everything taken care of, but on multiple occastions I would message Bobbi for help, advice, support, etc. She was always willing to help. I should mention that this was for no charge. She only helped because she has a passion to help other mothers. In addition to helping me maintain my nursing relationship with my son (9 months and still going strong), she has helped a lot of ladies in the local mom to mom group. If someone needs advice or suggesstions and wants to go with a more natural route I think I speak for everyone when I say that Bobbi is the one to go to and trust for advice!
