What Families are Saying

  • Working with you was an incredibly positive experience. From day one, you created a warm, comfortable environment that made the overwhelming journey of breastfeeding feel manageable. You listened carefully to my concerns and offered knowledgeable, personalized guidance that gave me real confidence. I always felt heard, cared for, and supported. After each consultation, I felt more confident and equipped to navigate our feeding journey. I'd wholeheartedly recommend First Embrace Lactation to any expecting or new mother. Having someone this compassionate and knowledgeable during such a vulnerable time makes a real difference.

  • My experience with Vivian was wonderful. I received an appointment almost instantly, and the visit was thoughtful, thorough, and never rushed. She answered all my questions and even took my phone calls afterward. She was incredibly sweet, kind, and truly passionate about helping mothers nurse their babies. Most importantly, she reassured me that I was producing enough milk and gave me the confidence I needed. I would highly recommend Vivian to any mother seeking breastfeeding support.

    Alla

  • The first couple of weeks breastfeeding my son were stressful — he wasn't latching properly, I couldn't get comfortable, and my supply was low. Vivian brought immediate relief with her calm, experienced approach. She assessed my son's intake, guided me through pumping, and helped build a plan to increase my supply. Her suggested feeding positions were a game-changer, finally helping us find our rhythm. She was always available for questions between visits, with clear, thorough answers every time. My partner and I still reflect on how transformative Vivian's support was in those early days. I heartily recommend her to every new mom!

    Sara

  • Working with you during early postpartum was a lifesaver for our family. Struggling with low milk supply and balancing breastfeeding with formula, your guidance gave me the skills and confidence for direct breastfeeding. Within two weeks, I reached an 80/20 breastmilk-to-formula balance that worked even after returning to work. Most importantly, my baby, born Small for Gestational Age (SGA< 1 Percentile) grew remarkably, jumping to the 20th percentile. What meant the most was feeling supported and empowered, with a realistic plan and zero judgment. I wholeheartedly recommend First Embrace Lactation to any new mother — practical, compassionate guidance that truly makes a difference.
