2019 Birth Survey
Sarah is the lactation consultant at Premier Pediatrics in Park Slope. She was great to work with - knowledgeable, helpful and practical rather than dogmatic. I was a weepy mess for a while after giving birth, and also had early challenges with breastfeeding (severely inverted nipples, a nasty bout of mastitis early on) and she was really kind and empathetic. She recognized when I was at my breaking point and made sure we figured out a way to get me some sleep, even if it meant the possibility of needing to supplement with some formula (which didn't wind up happening, but I truly appreciated that she would go there). She was also very helpful calling me back (even from home) when I had a couple of questions after I stopped seeing her. I do not think I would have succeeded in breastfeeding and kept my sanity in the process without her.
