Doris Howie, RN IBCLC

Doris was a great nurse to work with!! She knew her stuff and she didn’t make me feel like a failing mom when it came to breastfeeding. She was supportive and everything was patient centered care. As a nurse myself I appreciated the time she takes explaining things to me and was very patient. I’m happy my friend told me about this company!!!
Doris, your guidance helped us through a tough spot with nursing and gave me reassurance that my daughter was getting enough milk. I truly don’t know if we would have been able to continue with exclusive breastfeeding without your help!
Doris was amazing. So supportive and responsive to my new-mom frantic questions.
I had Doris come to my house after my son was born for a lactation consultation. Doris was kind, patient and thorough in her approach. She gave lots of great tips to give my son and I a great breastfeeding experience and even showed me how to use my pump. More than anything, she gave me confidence by reassuring me that I was doing a great job!

Doris was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable and explained things clearly and simply (very helpful to an exhausted new mom).. she helped solve our challenges with breastfeeding in one visit with new positioning and latch help. I loved that she called to follow up a week or so later, too!
Doris is a sweetie and very client centered. Very validating. Kathy is great too. She is problem focused and good with specific, concrete suggestions.

Prior to giving birth your organization provided me with a pump through my insurance. When I went to pick it up, the woman at the front desk took ample time to explain each piece and how to use it. She answered all of my questions and was very reassuring and comforting for a soon-to-be first time mom. After giving birth to my daughter, your organization took the time to help me during one of my most vulnerable and frustrating times. Your organization did not one but TWO home visits after an extremely traumatic birthing experience/ c-section. Most importantly, Doris helped and encouraged me to feed my child in a way that works beautifully for both of us after many obstacles. I cannot thank you enough for all you have done for myself and my family. I HIGHLY recommend your organization.
Doris was very helpful and gave a variation of possible solutions. She was very personable and gave a lot of references.
Very friendly and informative. Nurse [Doris] put me at ease and that my struggles were normal, but could be overcome.
I was having trouble breastfeeding my newborn, when I called HBHM I was given a next day appt. Doris spent 2 hours with me and the baby. She spent time observing and giving advice; It didn’t feel rushed.
Doris and Beth met us where we were and helped us make a plan that was grounded in that and very clear. They were kind and supportive in what was a terrifically difficult time, emotionally speaking.
Easy, accommodating and sensitive to my emotions about breast feeding . Thank you for being amazing at what you guys do . Doris was an absolute light in my life when I needed it most
Hi Doris,

[]I want to let you know I made it to a year + 2 weeks breastfeeding Grace, and then was able to give her a couple of bottles of breastmilk every day until just past 13 months. The whole experience was such a powerful and important one and it wouldn’t have happened without your support.

I am so grateful for all of your help in those early days, and then for your kindness and advice during all of the mini “emergencies” that came up throughout the journey.

Grace is now 14 months, and such a happy and healthy baby (toddler!!).
