We learned the hard way that not all IBCLCs are created equal. After a less than stellar experience with one while trying to get prepared during pregnancy, I asked my chiropractor if she had any recommendations. She quickly pulled out Katie’s business card and handed it to me. When our little guy came two and a half weeks early, only a few days later, I was struggling to produce and he was struggling to latch. Our second night with him was heartbreaking and we contacted Katie as soon as we realized we needed help. After ONE session, Katie had me producing and our baby latching. I could have cried. I think I did at one point! After a second session, we were seeing great transfer volume for our son through a weighted feed, and Katie took it a step further to teach me techniques that would make us even more successful. Thanks to her, he went from 7lbs 4oz to 8lbs by our third session only 10 days later. Katie brings so much positivity to every session. Her energy is infectious and her support is so incredibly effective. Not only did she help us save our breastfeeding journey, she truly set us up to thrive and gave me a confidence I really needed. She is a wealth of knowledge and is quick to respond to any questions. You can see her passion for her work in every single interaction. I’ve been telling everyone about her. I swear every breastfeeding mama would benefit from seeing Katie!
