Testimonials
“As an expat with a small circle of mom friends, I was quite nervous about the prospect of breast feeding. Ellie came to my home and guided me through everything, helping me understand the mechanics and science behind breastfeeding on a practical level. She gave great advice on latch, feeding positions and baby's well being and it made me feel a lot more confident and gave me peace of mind. We found it super convenient to have her come to my house and check up on me and my baby, and she answered all of my questions and helped with any concerns we had along the way.”
"I can’t speak highly enough of Ellie’s weekly support when I had my first baby & she was the main reason I stuck with breastfeeding! She’s so kind & knowledgeable, we are lucky to have her on Lamma!!"
"Like a lot of expecting parents we were a bit overwhelmed with all the differing information that's out there online and in books. Ellie's pre-natal class totally calmed our nerves and explained everything in a calming, thorough and easy to understand way. Would recommend them to anyone."
