“Anna has been an amazing resource for breastfeeding questions from clients that are beyond the basics. I’ve come with questions about medications + breastfeeding, tips on tricky weaning situations, and advice on whether an IUGR baby was getting enough.
She is full of knowledge and, as an IBCLC, the expert I go to regarding all things breastfeeding.”
