Thank you for the reviews!

Thank you for the kind reviews!

I always ask families to submit google reviews for me after our sessions, if they feel I have been supportive. I want to take this time to thank those of you who have taken a few minutes to do so. Here are a few recent reviews...

"Jennie has been wonderful to work with. She helped me feel confident in my breastfeeding journey during my maternity leave and going back to work. I look forward to working with Jennie as my baby continues to grow and reach new milestones." - Maria

"Jennie has been so helpful in my breastfeeding journey. I felt discouraged before our first visit but now 2 sessions in I'm so excited by the progress and hopeful for where baby and I are going as a breastfeeding pair. The tips and positioning have been wonderful!" - Liz

"Jennie was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was timely, professional, but most of all kind and compassionate. She made me feel extremely comfortable and addressed all of my questions and then some. I'm excited to continue working with her throughout my nursing journey!" - Emily

So appreciated! Thank you again!

Babywearing!

Has anyone experienced the baby who has been fed, changed, snuggled up and set down, and then 20 min later, they are wide awake again and looking for you? I know I have! Babies looooove to be held, carried, walked about, but parents looooove to have their hands free for things like using the bathroom and feeding themselves (how dare they!) Hence, baby-wearing! Learn to use that loooong piece of material (or that buckle carrier) and tie/strap that little one on! Babywearing can be particulary helpful during those fussy cluster-feeding evenings, or for families with demanding older siblings (or pets!) Give it a try!

Watching the Baby vs the Clock!

Oftentimes, parents are told to feed their newborns every "2-3 hrs," and some, especially those who have had bottles in the mix for whatever reason, get very attached to watching their clocks! I always encourage families, as long as all is well, to watch their babies for cues and let them lead the show! Our babies are smarter than we give them credit for ;) I think it is helpful to think of things in 24 hr chunks, and know that a baby (on average) will eat 8-12x in that chunk. 8-12x does not always equal every 2-3 hrs! Sometimes babies will nurse frequently for a period of the day, then give long stretches at another point. As long as diaper output and weight gain are on point, this is totally fine! My goal is for parents to relax into this time with their babies, and give the clock a rest ;)
