I can't recommend Melissa enough. My baby didn't latch, was lazy/sleeping/losing weight, my supply was low, my panic was high. I had seen several other consultants who recommended many different things that weren't helping. And then I found Melissa. We worked with her for 2 months and I am happy to say I have what I didn't think was possible: a 100% breastfed baby. Melissa makes herself available and supports a new family through so much more than breastfeeding. Highly recommended.

Melissa was magic for us. Our three week old, Sunny, was experiencing latching issues and had lost weight she could not afford to be losing at 5 pounds 6 ounces...Melissa turned our frustrating feeding experience into an amazing one. Our baby is now gaining weight and feeding SO well. So grateful for her!

Melissa was so helpful. Our daughter has had such a hard time gaining weight and eating enough. She gave us some tongue exercises to do and she is eating more than she ever has. She is caring, explains things well and validates your concerns. Well worth the money!!

I came to Melissa after working with a different LC. My 6 week old wasn't gaining weight well, and I was more or less at my breaking point with feeding and pumping. She saw that right away and modified the plan so I could keep going. She also identified some red flags with my baby's development as the reason why we couldn't nurse. She was able to refer me to the right people and coordinate with them to get the care we needed. I'm so glad I reached out instead of giving up.

Melissa was exactly what we needed when my baby girl was under weight at her 2 month checkup. Never once did I feel rushed or like I was just another patient coming through her office and she listened to everything with no judgement (big things for a first time mom with feeding issues!). Her knowledge of various feeding issues and possible solutions helped us get on the right track to gaining weight. Even after our appointments she was available for help and encouragement via text 🙂 Thank you!

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 Cole does amazing work. I went to see her at 4 months post partum, as my child was gaining weight a little too slowly. Our problems weren't too grave, but Melissa gave me some great ideas to up my supply and help my daughter get a little more to eat. She also diagnosed a tongue tie that had gone unnoticed until now. I felt listened to and supported after our time together, and know I can ask any questions or concerns that may come up. I would recommend Melissa to a friend in a heartbeat.

I had problems nursing from day 1. After a wk of numerous lactation appts, cracked nipples, failure to latch properly, and my daughter losing 14% of her birth wt we gave up. At wk 6 I was at my wits end with 4 hrs a day of pumping + bottle washing and still no successful latch so I called Melissa (recommended by my OB). I was able to get an appt right away. Within MINUTES we were successfully nursing! She truly is amazing. If you are having issues, don't wait like I did! She changed our lives!!

Melissa was a god send!! I had my baby two weeks early and she decided she wanted to sleep until her estimated due date. I could not get her to eat enough and at her 3 day midwife visit she had lost more than 10% of her birth weight. I had made a commitment to breasfeeding but was at a loss when it came to giving my baby enough to eat. I was a sleep deprived first time mother that was terrified I was starving my baby. I thought I could do it on my own but quickly realized I needed help. My midwives recommended Melissa and I called her one morning in tears. She was at my house ready to help just a couple hours later.Her time spent with me was the best money I spent since having my baby. She put my mind at ease and gave me back my confidence. She stayed with me until I felt sure of my ability to breastfeed and she covered all the bases. She examined my daughter and me and made sure there was no physical reason we were having issues. She showed me how to help my baby latch and she showed me how to put together and use my breast pump and was able to supply me with some accessories I needed. She was sweet and understanding and incredibly empathetic. She had all sorts of advice and tips that I have used since. I also felt like I could call her with any questions and she was able to continue helping me over the phone with questions that popped up later.I have been able to exclusively breastfeed and my daughter is up to a very healthy weight and thriving. I have recommended Melissa to my friends who are new moms and she had been able to help them as well. I am so grateful to be able to breastfeed my daughter and I really enjoy it now. It has been so important for her health and is a wonderful way to bond. I can’t thank Melissa enough for her skill and compassion.
