I contacted The New Mummy Company when my daughter was 3 days old about a lactation consultant. I was tired, sore and had no idea what I was doing. They sent Caitlin out to my home right away. I was nervous to feed in front of her since I was in so much pain but she put me right at ease. She watched and observed and gave me some tips on how to feed. She also confirmed the pain I was feeling and suggested some cream that would help. She suggested a feeding tube for the formula so that our baby got used to breastfeeding instead of the bottle of formula we had to use to supplement. By the time we were done I felt 100% better and had the knowledge and information I needed to continue breastfeeding. If it weren’t for Caitlin coming that evening, I would have given up that night. Because of her I kept going and am so glad I did. I have had several other consultations with Caitlin since then. She always answers any questions or concerns I have and has suggested several ideas to help boost my milk supply. The New Mummy Company has been a great resource for items to help boost my supply and Caitlin has also been great and suggesting items that work. I would highly recommend The New Mummy Company and Caitlin to anyone breastfeeding (or trying to).
Alicia Marchioni from OakvilleWonderful session with LC Debby – even though I was pumping to build up my supply, I was very apprehensive re actually breastfeeding given my previous experience with my daughter in 2016. Determined to try again with my son, I called The New Mummy Company and was quickly scheduled for an in home consultation. My LC Debby arrived on time, was clearly very knowledgeable, patient and kind (which is key when one is having a frustrating experience). At the end of the session, I felt that I learned a few key tools to help me along my breastfeeding journey and to improve the journey for both myself and baby. Many Thanks!
Sophia from TorontoI contacted the New Mummy Company as I had some questions about breastfeeding and pumping. Once I contacted the company, they got back to me right away and had Debby come visit me the next day. Debby was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions which made me feel more at ease for being a first time mother! She assisted me with latching as well as how to properly pump for my goals. Highly recommend!
