Sydney is amazing! My husband and I attended her breastfeeding essentials class when we were still pregnant, and it helped so much to know what to expect once baby was here. Once our son did arrive, it wasn't what we were expecting (he had to be in the NICU for a few days) and working with Sydney once we were all home helped so much in our breastfeeding journey! I was nervous about how hard it would be to have him transition to fully nursing after being on mostly bottles and formula in the NICU, but Sydney came to our house to give tips and observe how he was nursing and do a weighted feed, gave us a simple plan that was easy to follow, and was so helpful in the transition from triple feeding to just breastfeeding! We are so grateful for Sydney!

As a first time mama, I left the hospital feeling proficient in breastfeeding. However, I wanted to have hands on help at home to make sure I was setting my breastfeed journey up for success. Sydney was that and MORE! She made me feel comfortable in my home during the vulnerable, early postpartum days and provided valuable tips and insight. During a follow up visit, she taught me how to pump and we practiced bottle feeding my baby. I’ve had no issues with breastfeeding, pumping, or bottle feeding my baby and I really have her to THANK for that!

Sydney is a literal angel. She made me feel so seen and accepted when I was at my absolute worst postpartum. My baby was very particular with breastfeeding and Sydney knew exactly what to do and how to help. She was patient and so encouraging and kind. I saw her at multiple points during my breastfeeding journey- including when my baby went on a nursing strike. I have nothing but good things to say about Sydney. Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Sydney enough! I had no idea how I was going to feed my twins. I was one of those people that thought everything would come to me “naturally.” I soon realized that I would need more guidance. Sydney’s class was professional, accessible, and informative. She answered all my questions and was so encouraging throughout my pregnancy. She reminded me that every mother’s journey is different. When our NICU visit changed our plans, Sydney was right there to offer timely support. Every first time mom should attend a class or have a private consultation with Sydney! You won’t regret it.

Sydney was an absolute game changer when having my first baby. I had no idea how critical feeding is to establishing everything for your baby, from making sure they’re gaining weight in the first two weeks to establishing sleep and everything else until I had my baby. Sydney is approachable, encouraging and so knowledgeable. She will make sure you get off to the right start and will be there for you through the ups and downs.
