Hear What Moms Like You Have to Say

Eibhlin

..my younger son is now nearly six months
old and I'm proud to say he is exclusively breastfed. If you're looking for something that sees
breastfeeding as more than just a physical feeding process and recognises it as involving your head
and heart as well as your boobs then Mindful Breastfeeding is for you. I really would like to thank you
Tracy. Between the GentleBirth app and the Mindful Breastfeeding program, you really helped me to
actually enjoy this pregnancy and all the months since Sam arrived safely into the world.
Mindful Breastfeeding Mom

Nobody prepares you for the overwhelming stress you feel leaving the hospital and going home with your
new baby. Tracy's approach made those first few days of recovery so much easier and without feeling like I
needed a degree to latch my daughter on. Why don't the nurses tell you your brain works differently right
after you have a baby and trying to remember all the steps to breastfeed the hospital way makes it harder.
Five months on and we still are going strong.
Jen Lyman

I had my baby on Tuesday and breastfeeding is going great thanks to your training! The
lactation consultant was very pleased that I knew to put him belly to belly and to lay back.
She said we have a really good latch because of it. Thank you!
Mindful Breastfeeding Mom

My husband and I attended the hospital class and not once did the midwife talk about the positions
you teach. There was so much to learn I left the class feeling more anxious but I really wanted to do this.
I'll admit I was a total skeptic because you never see women breastfeeding this way.
On the second day my husband intervened (we both watched your course together) as the pain was
getting worse. I was the only woman in the ward who didn't have a c-section so the staff were just too
busy to help. So my hubby (a car mechanic - no joke) went through the steps with me to lie back and
helped put Lucy on me and after a few minutes she latched on and the pain was almost gone. He thinks he's a
midwife now LOL. Actually he's still annoyed that the staff were insisting on the old positions you
told me about - if he hadn't taken charge and insisted on trying your advice I don't think I would
have lasted much longer.
