Ratings and reviews
Wow. I wish I could give more than five stars for Trish! Having her by my side for my first child was like having a sister who knew absolutely everything to help both me and my baby. Our son was born a month early so Trish’s knowledge was SO beneficial as we navigated all the preterm challenges. My milk took a long time to come in and Trish was there every step of the way. It’s now three months later and I’m able to successfully breastfeed my (healthy and strong) baby, which was so important to me. Trish even stayed one day when I had mastitis and helped feed and put the baby to sleep so I could rest. We seriously could not have done this without her and cannot recommend her highly enough!
