Testimonials

What They Say About Us

Tiffany is honestly amazing! I faced every obstacle you could think of with trying to breastfeed but with her help we were able to make it to a year. When I say every obstacle I mean it. My baby was tongue tied and had a hard time latching which meant I wasn't supplying enough because she wasn't pulling enough. Once I found Tiffany she helped me with everything from where I could take her, different ways to hold her, and just all around education that I needed but didn't know how to ask. I found her through the Health Department and was thankful that someone so caring was there. She gave me the confidence I needed to push through and when I felt like it was too much she gave me the words of affirmation that if we last 3 months, 6 months, or a year what mattered is the time and milk that's she's gotten so far. Meaning you are doing good and you did good if this is where you stop. As a new mother feeling judged everywhere else I knew in her office I could be honest and ask all the questions I needed and she would be there holding my hand if I needed it. I made it a year when I didn't think I could last a day. Tiffany Slade is amazing and if I have more children I hope to have her again.
