I am a first-time mom and I reached out to Kara a few weeks before my planned c-section to arrange for lactation/post-partum consultation once our baby arrived. My side of the family has a history of tongue ties/lip ties and general problems with breastfeeding and I was pretty anxious about the whole process in general. Fortunately, our son didn't have any specific issues but I was still very anxious and unsure about tons of questions (good latch vs bad, feeding schedules/amounts, holds, etc.) We received lots of advice while at the hospital but this was often different or conflicting based on the nurse.
When we finally met with Kara, it was like a breath of fresh air and felt like a huge weight was being lifted off of me. Her approach was very compassionate, clear, and supportive. She was super knowledgeable about breastfeeding (and feeding in general) and newborn care and gave me and my husband the clear guidance we needed in the early weeks of parenthood.
Kara has also been awesome about following up, checking in, and being available for quick questions.
So in short, I can't recommend Kara highly enough. (We've already let her know to be on the lookout for our second whenever he comes ??)
