Testimonials
Thanks to the Milk Box:
I truly don’t know if I would still be breastfeeding my little one today without the help and support of Jessica during the first 2 months postpartum. I initially met with Jessica as a first time mom overwhelmed by breastfeeding. She helped guide me with tips on latching and general information on breastfeeding that I wasn’t aware of. Jessica was able to identify that my baby had lip, cheek, and tongue ties and pointed me in the right direction to have them revised. My favorite part about working with Jessica was her support along the way. She truly felt like a friend, and was such an amazing support person during those crazy postpartum months! She also had a very holistic approach to breastfeeding which I really appreciated. Instead of sending me straight to a dentist for a revision, she recommended chiropractor care and body work - both of which helped my baby and breastfeeding journey tremendously. We are now on month four of exclusively breastfeeding and I couldn’t have done it with out Jessica!

I can’t recommend Jessica enough. Knowing that I had so many issues with breastfeeding with my first child, I reached out to Jessica as soon as my second baby was born. I was so impressed with her knowledge & level of care. After every appointment with her, I felt more confident and hopeful about my breastfeeding journey. I will be recommending her to all of my breastfeeding friends from here on out. She is an incredible resource and encouragement!

Jessica has gone over and above for me and my daughter since we started working with her. I'd highly recommend her mom to mom!
Lauren
I am so thankful I was introduced to this wonderful woman and have her help to make it through some difficulties that would have ended our breastfeeding journey too soon had she not been there. I met Jessica around the time my baby was 8 weeks old. She had been having awful symptoms, always seemed uncomfortable, and had been struggling with getting any sort of good latch established. Jessica was with me as my baby went through a lip, tongue, and cheek release procedure and provided guidance and encouragement before and even through the weeks afterward. Jessica has a true gift for working with moms and babies and her knowledge in all things lactation and her compassion make her an excellent IBCLC.

Jessica was such an integral part of my breastfeeding journey. Without her, I 100% believe there would not have been a breastfeeding journey for us. When we started, I was in intense pain and worst of all, my daughter was unable to breastfeed and get the milk she needed. At our first appointment, my daughter could not even latch to do a weighted feed. Jessica looked at her mouth and noticed a few things, gave us some options and tools, and referred us to an amazing pediatric dentist. My daughter had severe oral ties and Jessica went through each step in the decision making process with us. Jessica helped me with all things breastfeeding, bottle feeding, understanding how to get my supply up, how to properly use a pump, latching and so much more. My daughter is now latching, I have little to no pain, I don't have to use nipple shields, and my daughter is growing! Jessica, thank you for your direction and support. It was a game changer!
Crystal
Jessica played such an integral role in my breastfeeding journey. I am currently 4 months in and still going strong with a baby who latches well and comfortably thanks to her. As a first time mom there are so many new things you have to learn, most of which DO NOT include a manual!
Breastfeeding was certainly a challange for me at first. I felt completely lost, like a failure - that the thing I was designed to do (feed my baby) I wasn't able to do. Jessica instantly made me feel loved, cared for, and understood. I was blown away by her knowledge and I know, without a doubt, I would have given up on my breastfeeding/pumping journey without her compassion and assistance!
Brenna
I can't recommend Jessica enough! She has been incredibly helpful in identifying my baby's tongue & lip tie. She helped us with exercises, feeding positions and resources to make breastfeeding not only possible, but less painful. She has a ton of knowledge regarding breastfeeding, milk supply, hormone changes, and the entire tongue structure and function. She has been super supportive and sweet to me & my baby throughout this entire process. I will be calling her right away when baby #2 comes along! Thankful for her!
Sara
The relief I felt after meeting with Jessica the first time was unmatched! As a first time mom, I had no idea what to expect or how to properly breastfeed. Starting at the basics, Jessica gave me the instruction and courage to continue our breastfeeding journey. I would recommend Jessica to all first time moms planning to breastfeed!
Emily
As a second-time mom who had a successful breastfeeding journey with my first, I was feeling discouraged that it was not coming as easy with my second. After meeting with Jessica, I felt empowered and encouraged! She was thorough, intentional, informative and did such a great job coaching and explaining. She made me feel comfortable instantly and was a joy to work with. I cannot recommend her enough for mommas needing some support!
Katherine
My baby was born with 5 mouth ties resulting in a horrendous start to breastfeeding. I struggled with extreme pain, mastitis, over production, blisters and the list goes on and on. I worked with an LC prior and looking back I needed to find someone who had experience with my baby’s specific issues. Three painstaking months of breastfeeding and I was literally days from quitting. My baby’s tongue tie specialist was kind enough to recommend Jessica and as my last attempt before throwing in the towel, I contacted her. I was desperate, hopeless and was sure I was going to have to quit. But Jessica came to the rescue. She came out farther than her normal travel, on a day she didn’t do travel appointments, on a week she was already completely booked. Again, just amazing. Once she saw us, she helped us with very practical steps and recommended some follow up care that we needed for my baby’s ties. My goal before baby was born was just six months of breastfeeding but after birth, I felt that was going to be impossible. After following Jessica’s advice and help, breastfeeding for a year or more seems like no problem! My heart goes out to all the mamas that are struggling to find formula which could easily have been us. But thank the Lord for Jessica, because of her help I can exclusively breastfeed my baby. She equipped us to successfully continue our breastfeeding journey and I am forever grateful. If you or a friend needs an IBCLC, please do not hesitate to contact her, you will not regret it!
Ariana
Truly blessed and thankful for coming across Jessica. I really don’t know if I would still be breastfeeding my baby today without HER help. As a first time mom, I really didn't have a clue what I was doing - especially because my baby had a lip + tongue tie. Breastfeeding was overwhelming + I wanted to give up! BUT God truly answered my prayers because I needed her help. I loved that we could schedule a at home consult - nothing like being in the comfort of your own home! I might have shed some tears when she left from the consult because she made me feel like I could do it. I felt confident + Hopeful. I was so happy that I could keep that bond between me + baby. Baby 6 months later + we are still exclusively breastfeeding. I couldn’t have done it with out her!

is this normal?
We often find ourselves not only answering the following questions, but asking them as nursing mothers ourselves. It’s a confusing world out there with so many opinions, and baby brain is real. Have you asked yourself any of these questions?
- Should it be hurting like this?
- Do I have enough milk?
- How do I actually use my pump?
- What do I do to treat clogged ducts?
- How do I increase my supply?
- How should I go about weaning?
- How do I store my milk?
- Am I doing a good job?
- Will seeing a lactation consultant even help?
IF YOU’RE ASKING YOURSELF EVEN ONE OF THESE QUESTIONS, LET US HELP YOU!
