"Milkmade at Home"
Helping, supporting and advising new mothers. On 3rd avenue, downtown. Warm and friendly, her "Breastfeeding" and "Beyond Basics" Breastfeeding Classes will have you well prepared for the joys of breastfeeding."Due to inexperience or lack of information many new mothers are faced with problems at the onset of motherhood. I have many clients who were referred to us when their baby had significant weight loss, insufficient breastmilk transfer, or the baby was not able to latch to the breast due to nipple structure. These parents could absolutely reassure you that I have the patience and skills to 'get the job done' --- along with the patience and dedicated efforts of the parents."
