Rachel is an amazing and knowledgeable lactation consultant and I highly recommend her. This was our first child. Parenting and breastfeeding can be a stressful and an overwhelming experience but with Rachel, it made all the difference. She was there to answer any little question and gave us much needed guidance on everything relating to breastfeeding. She really gave us peace of mind and reassurance during those first months that everything was going as it should. My daughter is almost 5 months and we will continue to rely on Rachel as we incorporate foods in addition to breast feeding. Rachel truly cares about this community. Whether day or night, she responds quickly. I recommend her to all my friends that are having babies!
