Laurie Ann absolutely saved me! She was there in the hospital to help me get my baby latched during one of the very first breastfeeding sessions. I needed help learning how to get her to latch properly and lots of physical support because well, I had just given birth. This got us started off on the right foot.
The overnight visit the first night home was a godsend! I was nursing my baby every two hours around the clock. Laurie Ann supported me through every feed. Then, I went right back to sleep as she cared for the baby throughout the night. I felt so refreshed.
Laurie Ann is the master milk maker! She helped me get my milk to come in quickly and helped me manage my supply in the coming weeks as it does fluctuate!
Breastfeeding was a learning process. Breastfeeding is natural, but it doesn't always come naturally. Without Laurie Ann's consistent support and encouragement, I would've given up quickly. I was able to make it over a year breastfeeding my girl because of her!
Laurie Ann also helped build a personalized routine for my baby so that she would have productive feedings, stimulating awake periods, and long restful sleep. My baby was only waking once to feed in the night at only a week old and sleeping through the night at just over a month old!
Laurie Ann offered me so much reassurance and confidence as I experienced emotions and hormones I had never had before. Being a new mom is hard and scary. Having someone who has been there and served many new moms is priceless.
Laurie Ann's services are well worth it as you will see long term results if you stick to the plan. If there is ONE thing I recommend to a new mom, it is to have postpartum support. We weren't meant to go through the this alone. Laurie Ann is a professional who not only has the knowledge and tools to teach you, but also the heart to serve you. She truly cares about your success and wants to see you reach your goals just as she helped me achieve mine.
