Testimonial
A Testimonial of How 2 Mom’s Lactation Services: Julia
We welcomed our twin boys in September and I was determined to give breastfeeding my best shot! I have tried about every combination of breast/bottle/formula/breast milk feeding. I had problem after problem with breastfeeding and pumping, including reoccurring mastitis, overproduction, an abscess and a galactocele. I had multiple appointments with different providers seeking guidance for these problems that I didn’t even know were possible. Each provider I spoke to refereed me to someone else and I didn’t receive the answers I was looking for. I was ready to wean, but afraid that weaning would cause worsening problems for my body. Finally a friend introduced me to How2Mom. I reached out to Stephanie, and we set up a time to talk on the phone. I told Stephanie my story and she quickly created a weaning plan for me. The plan was very manageable and flexible. We discussed the plan in great detail and I had a chance to discuss all of my questions. I followed the plan and successfully weaned my supply without any trouble. Stephanie continued to check in on my progress and answer any questions I had along the way. I am incredibly grateful for the support I found at How2Mom. -Julia K.
