"Kathy, you are worth your weight in gold!  When Charlie was born three years ago, your simple, sensible instructions helped me get settled into nursing and taught me to trust my instincts as a new mom.  I have told colleagues, who are often a bit wary of the concept of a corporate lactation program, that your lactation class was the most useful class I took before having a baby.  Without your help, both in that class and over the phone, I never would have been able to manage nursing and pumping for over a year.  I couldn’t even get my newborn to sleep without your help!  Today, Charlie still asks to take his nap and happily goes to bed each night.  Even our pediatrician is impressed.  When Claire arrived a few months ago, you were right there again.  I remembered some of the basics from last time, but that basically meant I knew when to call you for advice before I created a bigger problem!  Your practical suggestions on a sleep routine took into account the fact that we already had a three year old and helped us smoothly integrate a newborn into our family.  And your quick responses when I had trouble with engorgement and a stomach bug let me continue nursing without interruption.  As a working mom, pumping at work and building a freezer stash let me feel a bit better about not being around all day.  I treasure the special bond that nursing lets me create with my children and enjoy the time I spend nursing, something I attribute to the great advice I’ve gotten from you.  Thank you!"

"My husband's brother recently came to visit us with his wife and two young children. They were amazed (and that is an understatement) about Max's terrific sleep schedule, his enthusiastic and healthy eating habits, and his generally delighted and happy disposition. I had to give credit where credit is due and so I told them that we have you to thank in very large part! Your simple but sage advice about breastfeeding, bottle feeding, sleep, and the transition to solid food made our first six months with Max a miracle and helped us to establish sensible routines. Nursing Max was one of the most difficult challenges that I have ever faced -- neither of us seemed to take to it naturally! That being said, nursing was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and I could see how good it was for Max. Your advice and support were instrumental in those early weeks, and I am forever grateful for both. By the time I went back to work as a full-time attorney (after 5 and 1/2 months) Max was sleeping through the night and I had a great supply of breast milk for him to use during the day while I was at work. Over the ensuing six months, with your guidance, I was able to adjust my pumping and nursing to fit both of our schedules and Max cheerfully weaned himself just before his first birthday. Max has not had a single illness during this first year and I have not missed a day of work. Thank you!"

"As I continue to nurse my 3rd son, I think of you often. I am thankful for all that you taught me 4 years ago with Harris. I often see women on TV shows saying how painful nursing is and feel sorry for them that they didn't have someone like you to show them it isn't painful. I am continually thankful for the knowledge you have provided me and my family"

"When my wife and I transitioned home from the hospital with our little one, one of the biggest stresses was coping with the challenges of breastfeeding. The fear that breastfeeding wasn't working seemed to take over everything in our lives, leading to tension, loss of sleep, and concerns about our baby's health. My wife had consulted several nurses in the hospital, but the advice felt inconsistent and was difficult to implement once our supports were gone and it was just the three of us at home. Kathy was an amazing support to us during that time. She was responsive, compassionate, and readily available when difficulties and fear arose. She helped us develop a plan and suggested ways that I could be supportive with the process as well. Kathy was always available to field questions and calm our fears. We are so thankful that Kathy helped us through that chaotic time, and feel like stronger parents because of her support"

"I just want to thank you for everything you've done for us. It was a tough beginning and you were there with your advice and caring comfort. Ian has gotten a great start thanks to you!  You're one of the greatest lactation consultants I've met!"

"Thank you for the incredible gift that you have given me - that is being able to nurse my daughter. Robin is now 3 months old and nursing her feels so easy and comfortable that I almost can't remember how difficult it was in the beginning. I can absolutely say that without you, I would be feeding my baby formula and missing this incredible bonding experience. What a difference you have made for my daughter and me."

"I still think of what you did for me about three years ago! I was in excruciating pain from engorgement and early breastfeeding and in a panic when you came in and completely changed the entire equation. I am not exaggerating when I say that it was like an angel had visited and made everything right. I am forever grateful"

"I just wanted to proudly tell you that I am still nursing Loretta. She's almost 5 months now and is weighing in at 13.5 lbs, 24". I'm so proud & happy to have stuck it out. It took at least 3 months before I finally felt "through the woods". You are doing some really important work. Thanks for all of your support. It made a huge difference."

"I am so grateful that you came to my home and helped Jayonna and I. You completely saved me from having a breakdown. We are doing fantastic and the baby is growing like a weed. She has been sleeping 7-8 hours per night for several weeks now. I couldn't ask for a better baby and I have your help and advice to thank for it."

"I feel very strongly about the service you provide and I want you to know how much it meant to me. You have truly been a godsend! The advice and direction you gave me was invaluable. Every time we spoke, you made me feel relieved and armed with extremely useful information. The books you recommended to me were most helpful. Your advice has guided the decisions I have made about how to raise my son. The impact you have had on my family is tremendous!"

"Thank God for you! I owe this past year to you and want to thank you sincerely for all your help. You are terrific at what you do! I respect your upfront, no nonsense, and honest approach towards nursing. Without your help, I would have given up nursing altogether and that would have been a shame. The bond I have with Kevin is incredible and all our nursing time together is very special. I wouldn't change it for the world."

"I can't thank you enough for renting this pump to me. It has allowed me to maintain a healthy milk supply for my son who is now almost 18 lbs at 7 months. He never learned to like bottles. He would in fact starve himself for 9-10 hours while I was at work, only consuming 3-4 ounces, and in the last three weeks before I resigned, ate nothing until I came home! I am glad people like you are available for women such as myself who find themselves in a variety of life circumstances but who understand how important it is to nurse their babies!"
