Posted on Andrea CherroniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Donique was extremely patient, knowledgeable and caring during our consult! She was able to answer all the questions my husband and I had in regards to breastfeeding and took her time covering everything from start to finish. I was so stressed and mentally overwhelmed with breast feeding in general prior to our consult and I felt 10000000% more confident after meeting with Donique. I am so happy I booked a consult!Posted on Ragan LeBlancTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hilary was so helpful and easy to work with when struggling to get my first baby to latch! She was able to come the day after reaching out and gave me a lot of good tips and links for what would work best for me and my baby. I highly recommend Hilary and Simply Lactation!Posted on Salwa KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Madeline has been such an important part of my breastfeeding journey. She’s so patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. What meant the most to me was how much she truly cared—not just about breastfeeding, but about me and my baby’s well-being. She would check in often, answer every question without hesitation, and always made me feel supported. Because of her, I was able to reach my goal of exclusively breastfeeding for six months, something I couldn’t have done without her guidance and encouragement. I’m forever thankful for this service and for the amazing lactation consultants - saffiya and madeline - who pour their hearts into helping first time moms like me. One of the best things about this service is the flexibility—they can support you remotely or even come to your home. If it weren’t for Madeline’s ability to visit me just three days after I left the hospital, I don’t think I would have reached my breastfeeding goal. Having her there in person gave my journey the strong start I needed and erased any doubts about whether I was producing enough for my baby. Thank you Saffiya and Madeline!!! So grateful for the work you are committed to!Posted on ElizabethTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Safiya is very patient and knowledgeable. After three kids, I realize every baby is different and every breastfeeding journey looks different. She took time to explain things to me and give me helpful strategies moving forward. I’m very appreciative!Posted on Judi OTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Safiya was GREAT!! Omg!!! She is very knowledgeable and right away was able to tell me what was wrong with my baby’s latch! The pediatrician didn’t even catch it! And she was super sweet and made me feel more comfortable! She showed me the appropriate pump settings on my pump! I could go on and on. Long story short: book the appointment! No matter how far along in your breastfeeding journey you are! It was worth it!Posted on Zahra QTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Safiya is very knowledgeable and helped me throughout my breast feeding journey! I would highly recommend her!Posted on Kieuthy VoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Simply Lactation on IG. I was skeptical at first but having their services turned out to be one of the best decision I have made. My consultant, Safiya is wonderful. She is professional, friendly, informative and very knowledgeable. She walked me through every step, from how to feed the baby properly, how to use the pump correctly, how to store mil, etc… to having the right products and making a reasonable feeding schedule etc. I love the fact that I could text her when I have questions; it just put my mind at ease. Thanks to Simply Lactation and Safiya, my journey of breastfeeding has became easier! Would totally recommend their services to all moms out there.Posted on Nilam MominTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Safiya is awesome! She was so patient and helpful during my breastfeeding journey. As a first time mom, she really helped me navigate how I could achieve my breastfeeding goals.Posted on Maria Camila GilTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Simply Lactation. Hillary came to our house for a consultation and helped me through all the issues I was having with breastfeeding and got me on track to exclusively breastfeed my newborn son. Super knowledgeable and supportive! We also had a follow up visit which helped and she’s also highly responsive to any questions or concerns.Posted on Aya AlsaadTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Safiya is the best. Gentle, nice and professional. I highly recommend her. Thank you SafiyaLoad more
