She knows her stuff, she truly cares, and she makes herself available to answer follow-up questions (I don't know how!). She helped me go from exclusive pumping/low supply/supplementing to fulfilling all my daughter's needs for breastmilk until we weaned at 22 months. Without Melissa I probably would have given up on breastfeeding. With my son she has helped me through reflux/colic and a terrible bout of mastitis. I HIGHLY recommend Melissa.

Melissa has provided invaluable support to my family following the births of both of my children. Each had his/her own nursing challenges (lip tie, tongue ties, reflux, colic, low weight gain) and Melissa offered the expertise, compassion, and guidance that we needed. I had visits with lactation consultants in hospital, but those visits paled in comparison to working with Melissa. She is the BEST! I now consider her lactation support to be essential postpartum. I can’t recommend her enough!

Melissa was wonderful! She was warm and inviting and was very knowledgeable and helpful with her suggestions on how to improve my sons tummy issues. She was great with my son as well! I would highly recommend her to anyone having issues with lactation or other issues with your child's digestive needs. Thank you so much 🙂

Melissa is amazing!! So knowledgeable and insightful about lactation, child development, supplements and all things baby related. She helped us so much with breastfeeding and also our son's GI troubles. She was incredibly responsive and supportive. I couldn't ask for a better lactation consultant. I highly, highly recommend Melissa!

Melissa is a savior!! I was so traumatized by my 5 month olds nursing strike. I was hesitant that a virtual visit would be beneficial, but it was the best thing I could have done. Not only did Melissa comfort me in the fact that "more was going right than wrong", but she identified some digestive issues and reflux, acknowledges that pumping more was not a good choice for me, and recommended herbs to manage my postpartum anxiety. I can’t thank her enough!

I am so glad that we were referred to Luna Lactation. Melissa really knows her stuff!! My daughter and I have been struggling for months with poor latch, ties, and major digestive issues. I have learned more in the 1.5 hrs we spent with Melissa, than all the HOURS combined that my daughter and I spent at dozens of visits with 6 different LC's from 3 different Providence Lactation clinics. I will refer everyone I know that is struggling in their nursing relationship to Luna Lactation! Thank you!

Melissa is worth every mile driven and every dollar paid. She has helped me and my son with our breast feeding problems, and also has helped heal my son's leaky gut & eczema issues. She's my go-to gal for my family's health. I HIGHLY recommend her!

Melissa is a wonder! Once I found out I was pregnant with my third child, I immediately thought, "Yay! I get to work with Melissa Cole again!" The greater Portland area is so lucky to have this resource. Melissa has helped me through latch issues, nursing strikes, how to feed a baby through a nursing strike, gassy baby issues, eliminating dairy from my diet, rashes, and supplements to help both me and my babies. She is a breath of fresh air and my family is so grateful.

Melissa has helped me with both my childrens breastfeeding and digestive issues. She is holistic, knowledgeable and compassionate with her care. I strongly recommend Luna Lactation.

It took awhile to get into Melissa's busy schedule and it was totally worth the wait. She fixed my baby's persistent inability to latch correctly with simple positioning and now it's just a matter of practice to resolve her latch issues. She also helped pinpoint the reason behind my daughter's other digestive issues.

Even if you are not having nursing issues, you should still see Melissa--her comprehensive approach to baby wellness could benefit anyone! I went to her desperate for answers about digestive issues and was so impressed with her kind, gentle manner and knowledgeability. The previous 2 lactation consultants made errors in their diagnoses that she spotted immediately. Mamas, don't hesitate to get help!

I highly recommend working with Melissa. We are struggling with food allergies, digestive issues, and reflux, and after seeing a pediatrician, GI specialist, and other lactation consultants we were discouraged and running out of ideas. Melissa was very knowledgeable and understanding. She listened to all of my concerns about every aspect of breastfeeding and gave me specific suggestions about my diet and supplements.
