Itty Bitties and Beyond

We really love Nicole. She was very personal, and most importanly she was patient. I believe the value for the amount of helpful information and knowledge she gave us was amazing. We learned a lot about lactation, baby oral exercise, feeding positions and a lot more. We really highly recommend her for any parents who needs help with feeding, and mothers who has trouble latching.

The consultation I had with Nicole was a needed relief for both my little one and my breasts. She was able to identify and teach both the baby and me how to work together to nursing more efficiently and with a lot less pain until I heal from previous breastfeedings and pumping. I was previously pumping due to breastfeeding being too painful 😣 and had given up with breastfeeding. Therefore, I started to breast pump because I wanted to supply my baby with milk but in the process caused more damage to my nipples and breast tissue. The milk I produced is high in fat, my baby was not latching properly, the pump shield was damaging my breast and to top it off I was recovering from a c-section, therefore, I was not emptying my breast properly and I was getting painful milk duct clogs along with always being engorged. Nicole though us different latching positions until we found one that works best for both of us. She also noticed that the baby had a tongue-tie and gave me several options, Doctor recommendations, and exercise to improve my baby's latch. I’m very grateful because she took the time to explain everything and I never felt rushed. I highly recommend Itty Bitties Lactation Consulting Services to help frustrated mamas.

Nicole Kerbow is amazing!! She has helped me breastfeed with both of my children. She is so easy to talk to and makes you feel super comfortable. At first I thought it would be awkward having someone watch me breastfeed and critiquing me but it was not like that at all, she made me feel right at home and like she was a close friend who really understood how badly I wanted to breastfeed. She is so professional and easy to talk to, she is so knowledgeable and informative, you can tell she loves her job and is truly genuine and wants to help. And my insurance paid for her to come to my house, it was 100% free to me which I was shocked but very pleased! Both of my children had tongue ties and my daughter has a lip tie as well. I went to a free breastfeeding class at the hospital because my nipples were cracked and bleeding and I had such a sharp shooting pain when I tried to nurse. My nipples were so bad that the nurse told me I needed to pump and bottle feed her until they healed. After that I was a little discouraged because I was afraid that I may not be able to continue to breastfeed or that my daughter would prefer the bottle and then not take the breast. That's when I was looking for more help and contacted Itty Bitties and had Nicole come to my house. She showed me techniques to get her to latch, different positions to breastfeed her in, as well as exercises that I could do with her to help. She also showed me the tongue and lip tie and explained what my options were and made sure I was understanding her. I don't normally write reviews but I read so many mommy blogs and so much on google about breastfeeding and getting your baby to latch and it really helped reading reviews, experiences and posts that I wanted to leave one on here for any other new mother who is reaching out and looking for help like I was. Definitely give them a call because it really is nice to have help, especially if breastfeeding is important to you and you really want to make it work but you or your baby are struggling with it.

I just want to start off by saying that Nicole is heaven sent! I was two weeks pp when I came across her information online. I was close to giving up on breastfeeding when I found Nicole. I was using a nipple shield and Nicole really helped us breastfeed without it which I was so relieved that my baby could feed without the shield! She really took the stress out of me and she took the time to help me and baby with breastfeeding. She really has a great personality and is very motherly that she makes you feel so comfortable around her. She’s full of knowledge and she was very thorough with everything. She even recommended a great pediatric chiropractor for our son and she showed me how to properly use my spectra breast pump. I recommend Nicole to any mother out there struggling with breastfeeding or if you need a little extra help Nicole is the perfect person to contact!!! We are now seventeen weeks and breastfeeding like a champ all thanks to Nicole.

Nicole has been wonderful! I started working with her about 2 weeks ago with my 1 month old daughter. My goal is to exclusively breastfeed and we had been having some issues being successful. Nicole was very patient with us and taught us several useful tools to take home and try. We had learned that she has a lip and tongue tie and we are wanting to avoid doing the procedure for now. Nicole has really helped us work through this and is very supportive of us wanting to wait. In the 2 weeks time we have been much more successful and baby has been gaining the weight she needs to and we have been extremely happy with her results. I plan on continuing to see Nicole every few weeks so that we can stay on track and also it’s nice to have the reassurance that we are doing everything correctly.
