“Meredith was an invaluable help to us. We took her newborn and breast feeding course about 5 weeks before our son Henry was born. She was knowledgeable and instructive without overwhelming or intimidating us. We were able to come up with “goals” for feeding Henry which included exclusive nursing and no pacifier or formula. When birth didn’t go as planned and Henry ended up in the NICU and was give a pacifier and formula straight away, Meredith helped us get back on track. She coached us through Henry’s time in the NICU. He surpassed his birth weight within a week and now at 10 weeks is in the 96th percentile being exclusively fed breast milk (mixing bottle and breast). I’m not sure we’d have this level of success had it not been for Meredith’s wise coaching.”
