Families We've Served Say:

"Angela is absolutely incredible! She is worth every penny. In  fact, I would have happily handed her my wallet for the peace of mind and  knowledge she brought into our home! Having her over was one of the best choices we made for successful breastfeeding!"
"Angela of Basking Babies is a treasure to any mother breastfeeding, pumping, or just looking for nutritional direction. She applies a hands on approach. She offers real facts and calculations to work with tailored to you and baby."
"​It was one year ago today that you came to my house and helped my premature baby learn to eat! What a calming, reassuring presence you were to us that day in the midst of all our fears and concerns! Your work has been such a blessing to us."
"Thank you Angela. We would not have made it a month with out your help. You are helping so many mamas have babies that grow up to be big and strong, and are cultivating empowered and confident women through your career path. Thank you."
