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.”
Claire
"Now over six months into my breastfeeding journey, looking back at the first month, I can honestly say that Ellie played a critical role in helping me reach this milestone. Having inverted nipples and latching issues, she showed me how to better master breastfeeding positions and improve latching without the need of nipples shields (which I thought would be impossible). At that point because my LO was not gaining enough weight I was mostly pumping but she helped me gain confidence to not give up and revert back to 100% breastfeeding directly. She is very knowledgeable and gentle, she took the time to go through everything with me to rule out any difficulties or conditions that my LO could possibly have and made me feel positive about my ability to feed him. I am very appreciative and would recommend her to anyone struggling in the first months”

"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."
