All About Breastfeeding

A few weeks ago I found out that my 4 month old daughter had RSV.  Luckily for us, it was a fairly mild case, but she still was very congested and her appetite decreased considerably.  I too came down with a cold at the same time.  I started to get nervous that my milk supply was diminishing - and I just wasn't ready to give up breastfeeding yet!  I had a chance to meet with Lori, who confirmed that my instincts were right and she got me right back on track to increasing my milk supply.  After only a week - my daughter had gained 9 oz and was doing so much better.  Not only was my office visit reassuring, but it was very  so comforting to have Lori to call with questions after our appointment (within reason of course!).  Thanks for all you did - mom and daughter are doing great now again!

I cannot say enough about how fantastic Lori is! She informed us that our daughter was tongue-tied and that was contributing to our breastfeeding challenges. After a simple procedure called a frenotomy, our daughter is breastfeeding like a champ and it has become the most enjoyable experience for both of us! As Lori told us, breastfeeding is NOT supposed to hurt. We will refer all of our new mommy friends to Lori!!!

Lori Isenstadt is the best!  Breastfeeding is important to my husband and I so we initially worked with the lactation consultant in the hospital who had helped us get started with breastfeeding. It was not until we realized that the baby was calorie deficient and not gaining weight that we sought out the expertise of Lori.  Both my husband and I would report that it was a, “night and day” difference between the two consultants.  Lori’s knowledge and experience was evident from the get go in her initial consultation.  She helped my husband and I understand the reasoning behind our breastfeeding challenges.  She helped me establish a, “healthy, nutritive latch” and guided me on building up a greater milk supply.  She really provided the support and guidance that any new breastfeeding mother needs. I have recommended her to several friends and colleagues, I cannot say enough about how great she really is. Lori’s expertise is priceless and without her help, I could easily say that I would not be breastfeeding today.

Lori is hands down the most knowledgeable, helpful and wonderful lactation consultant I've seen!! :) Without her help I would probably have given up with all the problems I was having breastfeeding my son...and I was determined not to! It's the best investment you'll ever make...if you are having problems...SEE LORI! She really is wonderful! Thank you Lori for giving both my son and I a wonderful nursing relationship that I treasure each day rather than a painful daily battle that we were experiencing!!
