"I
think without Gwyn's help I wouldn't have been able to breastfeed
successfully.... Gwyn is truly passionate about her work, very
professional and really loves and cares a lot about babies. I
would highly recommended her!""When
I first started I almost gave up nursing as it was so painful for me.
But with your help and support I stuck with it and we eventually got
the hang of it. I am so glad that I stuck with it, and am so glad that
I was able to find the support and help I needed to keep going.""I
experienced great distress nursing my first child that I gave it up
within 3/4 months. The second time around I wanted to be
successful and I was with your help. You were very patient and
were actively participating and listening to my problems/issues which
provided me huge support to overcome the challenges and be persistent
with nursing.""Of
the lactation consultants I have seen (3 including you, plus a
registered nurse), you had the most gentle and reassuring approach.
You were very positive - planting lots of good positive thoughts in my head - which I think was half the battle for me.""My mom noticed how peaceful a feeding went the very next day while we parked the car outside of the midwife's office. Without
your visit and your suggestions, I would not have been able to feed (my
baby). Your reassurance and advice has meant that I can feed my baby without sore breasts or becoming anxious."
"We
are so glad we found you. Breastfeeding is still a challenge, but
I feel we can do it... and the most valuable stuff was that I had you
there listening and encouraging me. That was the most important
thing." "Thank-you
for all your help yesterday afternoon. . . . I think I've only had
1-2 good latches on the left side over the past 5 weeks, and with your
help, we now have it figured out! . . . I think your "service" was
exactly what I was looking for . . . . . I was pleasantly surprised
with the report and documenting that you did, along with the fact that
you sent it to my doctor. This shows your professional nature and is
something that I can reference . . ."
"Doing better! Thank you so much for your help, you should be weighed up in gold!"
"I
thought that your service was wonderful. You were not too pushy nor did
you force me to do anything that was out of my comfort level. . .
. The home visit was effective and now I can say that I breastfeed 70%
of the time. Your checkups after were also a great support. I would definitely
refer your services."
"Acquiring
your services was the best thing we did in those first weeks. It was so
stressful leaving the nursery with our preemie and I was so concerned
for her well-being and so trying to do everything I could to help her
but felt like I had no tools to be successful. I appreciated your calm,
caring and supportive approach on your initial visit and liked that you
included my hubby on the session, it was beneficial to getting him
invested in breastfeeding as well."
