I will be forever grateful to Diane and what she has given me and my youngest daughter. I had wanted so desperately to breastfeed my first two children. Unfortunately I had a myriad of issues working against me: breast augmentation, autoimmune disease, and premature delivery. Needless to say I was not able to breastfeed them, and in fact was told by a different lactation consultant that I should give up trying. 

When we were surprised with a third baby, I knew I needed to approach breastfeeding from a different perspective. I met with Diane prenatally to prepare myself to achieve this dream. I instantly felt that she knew how important this was to me, and she held no bias towards me or my personal history. She gave me tips for the hospital, and then I met with her shortly after coming home on several occasions. She helped me reach my first goal of 2 days breastfeeding, then 1 week, then two, then one month…. And now our little one is 6 months and still exclusively breastfed.

I feel absolutely blessed that I am able to breastfeed my baby after so desperately trying and failing before. There is no way I could have done this without the support, knowledge, and encouragement of Diane.

Thank you,
