Testimonial for Simone Toomer, CD/CBE(DTI), IBCLC, CBC, LCCE, ISE
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Simone Toomer, who made herself readily available to me and my husband from the night we brought our baby girl home to the entire month thereafter.
We would have gladly paid everything in our bank accounts even just for her first visit, when I was a couple of days post-partum and frantic that breastfeeding wasn't going well and ergo I was a terrible mother, etc. Simone immediately calmed me down and matter-of-factly parsed a lot of the conflicting info that the hospital lactation consultants had given me, encouraging me to try pumping and to be more patient and experimental when trying to get my baby to latch. Finally I was able to get the process started while coming up with a practical routine and gameplan for future feedings; our peace of mind after that initial visit was priceless.
Aside from being an awesome lactation consultant, in her visits thereafter Simone gave our daughter her first bath, provided helpful sleep and hygenie tips (soo many great tips!!), and also encouraged us to go for our first date night since the baby's birth while she babysat, which we readily took her up on!
Both expectant and new parents will be in kind and fully capable hands with Simone, who is also quick to laugh, empathetic, and very communicative at all stages. Thank you, Simone!!!
