Breastfeed Burbank

Ana was a lifesaver for me and my family recently! I was having trouble feeding my newborn due to a lot of pain and soreness. Ana came promptly on a Sunday and was incredibly helpful. She was extremely patient and observant as I explained my difficulties. She came up with great suggestions and boosted my confidence. Her timely help at a critical juncture was instrumental to my continuing breast feeding.

Thanks to Ana, my baby is exclusively breastfed and I could not be happier!!! I had a rough start trying to get used to producing, pumping and breastfeeding, and Ana was fully supportive, helpful and available throughout that process. Breastfeeding is a whole other beast that new moms have to learn while caring for a newborn and it’s so tempting to want to give up and feed your baby formula. Ana really encouraged me and helped me work on my baby’s latch, and helped me to gain the confidence I needed to ditch the pump and breastfeed my baby. Once baby and I got the hang of it, it made things SO much easier. No more washing bottles and pump equipment every night!
Ana was always available and really helped me get the hang of breastfeeding. She made me feel comfortable enough to reach out any time I had questions and concerns and she always responded quickly. The techniques she showed me are really what helped us do it. 6 months later my baby is still breastfed and I don’t see myself stopping anytime soon. :)

Writing on behalf of myself, my wife, and our son Rex.
We delivered on ⁵⁄₁₇ and the nurse who was helping my wife feed for the first time allowed our son to latch on willy-​nilly and totally scab and sore up both of my wife’s breasts. Ana came in and saved us the following day– letting my wife know that despite the initial challenge that our son had a great latch and that it would get easier. Our son lost 12% of his initial birthweight so we have also been supplementing with formula, but Ana made sure that we kept breastfeeding a priority and that my wife was working on boosting her supply. We saw Ana an additional 2 more times (so far!), and she sent us supplemental materials to read/​watch via email. My wife texted her questions and she always answered back in a timely manner. She also followed up with us a few days after our latest appointment.
Ana has a very calming and confidence-​boosting demeanor. She was very delicate with my wife (who was/​is super emotional following birth), and very doting on our son. We would highly recommend her services to anyone who was having issues with breastfeeding!
