I was having HORRIBLE seasonal allergies, I didn't know what was safe to take and what wasn't. There are some medications that are safe, but can effect your supply. I had also made the mistake before of taking an allergy medicine that went into my milk and made my baby sleepy. It was considered safe to take, but I didn't like that it did that to my baby. I was so overwhelmed and worried, but in desperate need for relief. She helped me go through the allergy medications and we talked about the safe ones and if they would effect my supply and how much would go into my milk so it wouldn't effect my baby! I was able to get relief from my allergies without having to worry about anything else! She is also incredibly kind and an amazing listener! She listened to all of my concerns and then we went through them one by one. She didn't make me feel rushed either! She truly cares and is passionate about helping mothers succeed in their breastfeeding journey. Thank you, Kristi!

Kristi is such an amazingly sweet person to work with. She has helped me in my breastfeeding journey from sizing for flanges, to dealing with mastitis and helped encourage me to keep going, telling me that I was doing an amazing job. The encouragement and validation as well as evidenced based facts and assistance with sizing for my breast pump flanges, even though I do not pump often, have been an extremely positive influence on my breastfeeding journey.
