Happy Clients' Feedback

Working with Danielle was a wonderful experience. From the beginning she listened to me, wanting to understand my experience with breastfeeding and the goals I had. When my goals changed she was very supportive and helped to quickly adjust the plan. She kept in contact with me between visits and genuinely cared how I was doing. I always felt relieved and encouraged after my appointments with her. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone who is wanting assistance with all things related to breastfeeding.

Danielle has been absolutely wonderful. When we came in, I was worried about supply, my baby’s latch, and whether he was being productive while nursing or not. At our last visit we were able to see that he’s been latching great and getting all the food he needs! Breastfeeding is very hard, and Danielle has been so helpful, not only for my breastfeeding journey, but also in making sure that I’m taken care of emotionally as well. Very thankful for her!

- Emma

Dani was amazing! She met with us before we had our son to prepare for breastfeeding! It was very helpful especially for my husband who learned a lot about newborns in general. My son was born via c-section, I had high BP and other factors lead to latching being hard for my son and I but she helped at home when he was only 4 days old and the next visit at home when she helped with me pumping and continued to help with my supply as that was what was working best for my son and I. She’s kind, supportive, responsive, professional yet real and easy to connect to. I would recommend Dani to any parent working on breastfeeding their child!

First-time mom here; from the start we had latching difficulties. Tami was super helpful with her tips until we went to our first appointment. Dani is amazing!!! She helped baby latch immediately and provided thorough care. She also provided us with a network of support to assist us. Highly recommended for all mothers!!

Very knowledgeable, professional, and supportive women during a time of need. When I thought I wouldn't be able to, I was encouraged and given techniques on how to improve the chances of the outcome I was looking for. Organization was very flexible and accommodating. Thanks to this organization I didn't give up and had a successful outcome. There was someone available even after hours to help with any problems or questions I had. I was given resources to videos and other practitioners in the event I needed additional help. Owner even reached out on my behalf to an organization I wasn't getting a response from. Very lovely people. Would recommend to try their services!

I loved working with Danielle. My boyfriend and I are both first time parents. We agreed breastfeed was best for our son due to the formula recall and shortage that happened while pregnant. They are helpful in the hospital when you go home and our on your own it’s overwhelming. You can google but every mom body is different and baby is different. Danielle gave us tools to help my son latch better and identified some things that are restricting him from latching. What made me more comfortable is that she looks like me. That was very important to me and made me feel even more comfortable. Even let my boyfriend know how he can support me in this breastfeeding journey.

Danielle is amazing! I had a virtual consult with her and she helped me so much! I am strictly pumping and she went over pumps with me, helped me to find the best flange fit, she educated me when it came to pumping amd how to make sure i dont damage my nipples. She helped me with my son and sent me videos to help me to better understand feeding techniques and to help him with his stiffness from being in the womb. Danielle answered every question I had quickly and efficiently. I enjoyed working with Danielle and I am extremely grateful that my doula connected me with her. Danielle is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what she does and I am so glad that I met her!

- Nori

Danielle is amazing! This is my first pregnancy and my doula recommended having a session with her before the baby comes to orient myself with breastfeeding. I'm the kind of person who has a ton of questions and Danielle has been INCREDIBLY helpful. She is knowledgeable and thoughtful in her responses, keeps it fun and lighthearted, and has made both me and my husband feel comfortable and much more prepared for the baby. I highly recommend working with her!

We're so glad we found Danielle! I suspected my newborn had a lip tie, and then Danielle confirmed she had lip and tongue ties. She referred us to great ENT and chiropractic providers. Baby girl is breastfeeding so well, and I no longer cry out in pain. The first month postpartum as a first time mom was so hard and frustrating, but Danielle helped us so much. I can't imagine how the rest of my fourth trimester would've gone without her. My husband and I are so grateful for her. Thank you Danielle!

Danielle is amazing! She has helped me successfully breastfeed my daughter in so many ways. In the beginning, I’ve had issues with my daughter gaining weight. Her pediatrician was concerned and suggested that I supplement with formula. I never wanted to give my baby formula so this left me feeling insufficient and like all my breastfeeding efforts wasn’t good enough. Almost like formula was better than my breast milk. When I spoke with Danielle about it, she helped me strategize on how I can supplement with MY OWN breast milk. She helped me feel empowered and went above and beyond to support my goals. I was able to exclusively breastfeed my daughter for 15 months and I’m not really sure if I would’ve ended up supplementing with formula that day without Danielle’s guidance!

Thank you so much!! Danielle gave us guidance and support during a challenging time with our newborn. Having her come see us at home was such an awesome experience. She helped with our latching and positioning in the environment where nursing occurs (living room & bedroom), which was extremely helpful. Her personality is awesome and her methods are effective.

She provided referrals where needed and followed up to ensure both mom and baby were doing well with the support she provided. I highly recommend Milkin' Melanin to any mom or mom-to-be who is interested in nursing their baby. Thanks again, Danielle!
