Testimonial for Simone Toomer, CD/CBE(DTI), IBCLC, CBC, LCCE, ISE
As a first time mom I struggled with latching but I was lucky to find the most caring, knowledgeable and patient Lactation Consultant in Williamsburg from the Carriage House Birth My sister contacted Simone and she was truly God sent. She answered all my sister's inquiries and was able to conduct a home visit and Lactation session the day after I called her. Simone came fully prepared with a scale and ready to answer all my concerns. She made me feel comfortable and listened without judging my struggles with latching. I must say that she showed the techniques needed to effectively breastfeed my baby. She also followed up via text, emails and phone calls. She genuinely cares and also connected with o wonderful services from the Carriage Birth House. With Simone's caring experience with early babies, she helped baby Salma learn to breastfeed while supporting my milk supply. Within several a weeks and lots of guidance from Simone, Salma was breastfeeding more and more as I became more confident in feeding. Throughout our work together, Simone was always very responsive and spent much time with us as we needed. We never felt rushed during any of our consultations. She is very competent, nurturing, warm, genuine, honest, supportive and I would recommend her to any mom that struggles with latching or wants to learn better techniques to breastfeed.Thank you Simone for teaching me how to do a correct latch on, recognize hunger cues and address sore nipples and engorgement problems. We are so grateful and relieved that I'm able to breastfeed Salma.
