Testimonials
Jami has been and continues to be a huge help to me during my breastfeeding journey.
When I first got home from the hospital she met me at home and made sure my latch was good. She also helped to identify a lip and tongue tip that were making breastfeeding difficult for me.
Several times in the past 6 months I have texted to ask questions, had to her at my latch or my breasts/nipples and she has always had the right advice for me!
Jami has been priceless for me during this journey! I highly recommend her to anyone that has decided to breastfeed, whether or not you’re having problems! Sometimes it’s nice just to have reassurance that you’re doing things right!
Thank you Jami for helping me during this incredible adventure!

Breastfeeding is something I’ve become insanely passionate about. I have learned so much over the past year - I’ve had my own struggles not near as much as other people, but I remember thinking “formula would be easy”, so to overcome those and have a strong, healthy 10 month old who is still primarily breastfed, I’m pretty proud. And would love for all women who want to breastfeed to have that same satisfaction and connection with their baby. It’s so much more than JUST feeding - which is pretty important on its own.

As a first time mom I knew breastfeeding was something I really wanted to do for me and my baby. When he was born early, with jaundice, breastfeeding seemed impossible for us. I had an excellent supply but he just would not latch, forcing me to pump and bottle feed. I did not want to give up on breastfeeding though, that’s when a friend referred me to Jami.
She was wonderful and made me feel very comfortable as we worked together to eventually get my son to feed, effortlessly straight from the source! My experience with breastfeeding was not a “natural” or easy one but having Jami’s support and guidance through it made it much more less challenging.
I’m excited to say that my son is still a breastfed baby and I was also able to donate over 50 litres of breast milk to the Rogers Hixon Ontario Human Milk Bank, all with the help of Jami neither of these things would have been possible!

It is not always easy to ask for help with something like breastfeeding, that as a first time mom, I thought was suppose to just 'happen' or come naturally. Jami's help was welcoming, informative and judge free. She helped us with early latching, and was great at identifying our daughters lip and tongue tie and the route to go to have both corrected. She is an amazing support and a true professional!

I cannot say enough about how instrumental Jami was in my breastfeeding journey. I knew from the moment I was pregnant that I wanted to breastfeed, but As a first time mama I had no idea how hard it would be. I collected colostrum ahead of our daughters birth so I thought I’d have no issues, but after she was born I struggled with my milk coming in and low supply.
Jami was a life saver! She worked patiently with me one on one to help recognize issues and correct them in the first week. After a lip and tongue tie revision, some nursing tips and position changes I went from wanting to give up to feeling empowered and being enough for my little girl. I can’t thank Jami enough for getting us back on track with breastfeeding!

I've done it twice before. How come baby number 3 it wasn't going well?
Only gaining a lb and a half in 6 weeks. Dealing with a colicy baby and stress of baby not gaining weight and bi weekly weight checks and supplementing after feeds I contacted Jami. My worse fear was true H had a tongue and lip tie that I was concerned about at her 2 week apt but Dr. Said it would work itself out. Jami taught me tricks to nurse her until her ties were released. After her releases she gave me tips and tricks to "re learn" nursing. If it wasn't for Jami's patience and advice H would have been weaned very early. Thanks again Jami!

To say that I couldn’t have done this without Jami is an understatement.
Breastfeeding was something that I was determined to do while I was pregnant. I had done my research, I felt that it was the best choice for my baby, and my family. However, I knew very little about the logistics of breastfeeding.
Jami took the time while I was pregnant to sit down with me one on one to show me the basics of what I needed to do. It was great! I felt confident going in to my delivery, and that I would know exactly what I needed to do to successfully breastfeed my baby.
The first couple of days went great, he seemed to latch on, he seemed to be getting what he needed, everything seemed to be going well. Until it wasn’t. He had lost over 10% of his birth weight, and was still dropping, this was a red flag for my midwives. I was upset. To a new, tired mama, this was scary. I was being told that my baby wasn’t receiving enough milk, and that I needed to change something. I felt that I was failing my sweet, innocent babe. He’d had enough challenges to overcome in his first little bit of life, and now we were being faced with another.
Formula wasn’t an option for me. I began pumping by the recommendation of my midwives, and using a syringe to get my milk into my baby. I was pleased that he was still receiving breastmilk, but was unhappy with how it was being delivered.
Jami came immediately, she was kind, gentle, and understanding. All qualities this fragile mama needed. She never made me feel that I was failing, instead she did the opposite. She spent countless hours and days, coming over, and being there for me whenever I had a question, or wasn’t sure about something. She was very supportive, patient, and helped me through all the tears.
I’m happy to say, that with her support, I am no longer counting down to when I can stop breastfeeding, but instead, at 10 months in, am challenging myself to see how long my baby and I can continue on this beautiful, empowering journey.
