Melanie L., RN IBCLC

I am extremely grateful for the staff at Healthy Babies, Happy Moms Inc. Both Melanie and Kathy came to my house for lactation consultations shortly after my son was born. They were honestly life savers. Breastfeeding was a more difficult journey than I had ever anticipated. I was overwhelmed and stressed about my supply and feeling worried about my son not eating enough. In the beginning, I was doing triple feedings- breastfeeding then pumping then bottle feeding due to it taking a little while for my supply to come in. I was doing this for every feeding and it was exhausting. Kathy developed a plan that was more sustainable and achievable. They take notes which they post to their on-line portal that you can access afterwards. They are full of helpful strategies and tools. I attended many of the breastfeeding support groups where I was able to ask questions and to bond with other mothers. After every meeting with the staff, I felt empowered and more confident in my breastfeeding process. I have now been exclusively breastfeeding for 8.5 months and I would not have been able to without the support of the staff. I took the infant sleep class as well which was full of pertinent information. I never realized how much mental energy I would put into my son’s sleep!! I have been referring all my friends to Healthy Babies, Happy Moms Inc. I have also called with questions and I always receive a prompt return telephone call. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Just sitting down to write a thank you to the whole healthy babies happy moms team! My daughter is just about 8 months old and we are still breastfeeding! Melanie was invaluable in the first few weeks helping us manage poor weight gain, transfer issues and pointed us towards feeding therapy and diagnosis and treatment of a tongue tie. She made very manageable care plans that maximized time at the breast, but also sleep and sanity. I was able to go to a few breastfeeding groups which were so helpful and encouraging. I have created such a milk supply that I have been donating to the Mother’s Milk Bank Northeast!

Delighted with everything. Melanie had excellent communication with me and my little ones pediatrician
I had an amazing experience with Melanie. After having a “not so great introduction to the breastfeeding world’ and being told I had a ‘problem’ because my baby did not latch right away during my hospital stay, I was beyond frustrated. I had been informed of Healthy Babies, Happy Mom’s, so I gave them a call. Melanie came right out to the house, which was so helpful because I was a new mom and the thought of leaving my house was not something I was willing to do or try with a 4 day old. She was patient and understanding and very accepting of what my goals were with my new baby. She did an awesome job explaining things in a way I could understand and demonstrating how to realistically breastfeed a baby. I am happy to say we are 9 weeks in and breastfeeding, without a shield I might add, like a champ. She was my saving grace, especially when I felt like there was something wrong with me. Thank you, Melanie, for all that you do :) Jackson and I appreciate you so much!

I couldn’t be more satisfied with services from HBHM from initial phone requests, validation, and ease/speed in scheduling in home consult particularly during initial weeks when questions felt urgent. Melanie taught me and my husband so much about breastfeeding in under an hour and recently had a follow up call now that little guy is 5 months. Thank you all for your attentive care and knowledge to ease this new journey. I highly recommend them.

Melanie was very friendly and helpful. Gave me my confidence I have now toward my breastfeeding relationship with my daughter. Addressed all the issues I was having and I can happily say I haven’t had not one issue/clog/milk blister since I was seen here.
HBHM has been such a wonderful resource to me on my breastfeeding journey! I’ve seen Melanie and Kathy, and both were kind and supportive while helping me work through challenges. They were able to see me immediately, and even checked in with me after my appointment to make sure everything was going well.

I felt supported and that I could contact Melanie at any time and she’d be there to advise and support me.
Melanie is Friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive.
