WORTH IT. Time, money, everything. Book the appointment.

Being in the newborn trenches for a third time and two successful prior breastfeeding experiences, I debated on scheduling an appointment. My primary concern was over-active letdown and pump fitting. Wasn’t sure I’d learn much more than I already knew or could google. Incorrect. I saw Kathy Lenert, an absolute wealth of information. I was impressed at her ability to teach, be hands on, and remember all of my needs. Was given extensive after-visit summary, which I appreciated. Truly wish I had seen her with all my kids.

Practical tips: Bring a helper and TAKE NOTES. I learned so so much. Parking is easy. Elevator is a bit small if you have a monster (large) stroller - but should fit. Will not fit more than two people and a stroller though.

Amanda is amazing. She has been so much help the past couple of months. She answers all my questions and takes the time to help me come up with plans and routines that I can actually work into my day & routine. I definitely would recommend her to any expecting or new mom.
Suzanne has been a literal life saver and angel on earth. No matter the obstacle with my breastfeeding journey, she has had a plethora of information and a way to work through it. From latch issues to low weight to ties and low supply, Suzanne is extremely educated and informative and has completely saved my relationship with breastfeeding. She taught me to use my pump, recommended supplements where I needed them and has a resource for whatever your journey requires. There has not been a more supportive and integral person in my support system than Suzanne and I cannot thank her or recommend her enough. Whether you’re a new mom or a 2nd time mom like myself, your time with her is an investment and a wonderful one at that.
Thank you our baby girl really benefits from her therapies and improves every week with Tessa Gardin, we love her!
My experience with Kristen here at BCB has been amazing! I felt alone in this process at the beginning but Kristen has made my journey much better; an expert and friend. My experience has eliminated any stress I had about breastfeeding/pumping and my journey back to work after my short leave. The education level I have gained from my appointments has made me a successful and happy breastfeeding mom. I cannot say enough good things about BCB! I would highly recommended them for your prenatal and postnatal needs.
