When I was ready to give up, you worked hard to help me figure it out. You followed up with me with phone calls, and understood how important it was for me to solve the problem so that I could continue breastfeeding. I didn't think that I would need the help of a lactation consultant (especially since I had already nursed two other children for a year each!), but I'm so glad that I called you. I would definitely recommended you to ANYONE having any breastfeeding issues, and not just at the beginning stages. The small consultation fee was well worth it, and I wish I would have saved my time and money spent prior to that and just called you in the first place! Thank you, Angela!! K.O. Your services to us were like hitting the lottery for breast feeding. We are very grateful for you. Thank you. |
Hey Angela I just wanted to say thank you for all of your help, after nearly 3 months we are FINALLY yeast free. You are a wonderful person and great at what you do, if I had not come to see you I think I would have given up breast feeding all together. Thanks again for your help, this is definitely not something I wish to go through again. –Tanya
I went in for my daughter’s 4 month Doctor's appointment and found out she had only gained 3 ounces since her 3 month appointment. Her pediatrician didn’t seem overly concerned but wanted me to try and feed her few more ounces of breast milk in a day and come back in 3 weeks to see if she had grown. I took it upon myself to reach out to Angela with Basking Babies to make sure there wasn’t an underlying issue that was causing the lack of weight gain.
I had a breast reduction at 19, and then had incredibly unsuccessful breastfeeding experiences with my first two children. I wasn’t sure that there was much hope for me to be able to exclusively breastfeed…ever! I met with Angela while I was 25 weeks pregnant with our 3rd. She helped me come up with an incredibly detailed plan for pre-birth, while in the hospital, and for at home. She answered ALL my questions (and I had LOTS), listened to all my concerns and reassured me, and really gave me the knowledge and confidence I needed. I left the appointment feeling so uplifted and really felt I could do this!
During my visit with Angela, we weighed my daughter, I fed her, and then we weighed her again to get an idea of how much milk she was getting when she nursed. This helped gauge about how many feedings she should be getting in a day. After doing all the calculations, Angela advised that she actually needed 7-8 feedings a day in order to be getting enough breast milk for her age/size. Angela and I came up with a plan to get her these extra feedings. I added in an extra bottle at daycare, a feeding right before I went to bed, and a dream feed around 2-3 in the morning. Within 5 days, my daughter had gained 6 oz. I also started pumping 4 times a day at work instead of 3; however, I decreased my pump time so in the end, I am spending the same amount of time pumping at work. I also increased the amount of Fenugreek I take to 4 pills 3 times a day and I now take 3 Blessed Thistle pills 3 times a day. Another thing I added was Moringa which is the main ingredient in Go-Lacta. I take 1 ½ teaspoons of this per day which is 3 grams (the recommended dosage per Go-Lacta’s website). I have definitely seen an increase in my supply within a week after making all of these changes. My daughter is happier than ever and I owe a big thanks to Angela!!!
You are so awesome at what you do and so passionate and kind it's refreshing! Without your help, I doubt I would have made my 1 year goal in nursing....I will have met that goal in 18 days!!! :-)
