I truly cannot recommend Melanie enough. She saved my breastfeeding journey in more ways than I can put into words. My baby had a lip and tongue tie and struggled with latching, which made breastfeeding incredibly painful and left me feeling so discouraged. We ended up having a frenectomy done at Terrific Teeth to treat her ties, and I’m so thankful they partnered with Melanie to provide comprehensive care and support throughout the process.
Melanie met me with so much compassion, patience, and encouragement. She taught me how to get a better latch, gave me so many helpful tools to make nursing easier and help me heal, and most importantly, gave me hope when I was in the trenches and needed it most. ♥️

I cannot recommend Melanie enough! She was absolutely amazing and covered everything I was hoping for and more. She was so kind, encouraging, and supportive throughout the entire process.
She helped me navigate the weaning process so I could work toward better sleep, help me feel like myself again, and give me some much-needed freedom after breastfeeding for so long. She gave me the guidance I was needing.
One of the things I appreciated most was being able to text her whenever I had questions or needed extra support.
If you’re looking for someone knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly supportive, I HIGHLY recommend Melanie! She was exactly the support we needed during this transition!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Melanie! This is my first time breastfeeding, and being that this is my third and last baby, I really wanted to make the most of this experience. From the beginning, Melanie has been incredibly supportive and has helped me navigate my breastfeeding journey with so much patience and understanding.
She has helped calm so many of my worries and anxieties surrounding breastfeeding. She truly listens, understands my concerns, and never makes me feel pressured or judged. One of the things I appreciate most is how she helped me create a breastfeeding and pumping schedule that actually fits into my life. With two other children and always being on the move, I needed something realistic and flexible, and Melanie helped me find a routine that works for our family.
She is amazing at explaining my options and making breastfeeding feel manageable rather than overwhelming. I always leave our conversations feeling more confident and reassured.
I am so happy I found Melanie and would highly recommend her to any mom who is breastfeeding, especially someone who may be feeling anxious or unsure. She has truly made such a positive difference in my breastfeeding experience!

I can’t say enough good things about Melanie!
My daughter and I got off to a very rough start with nursing… shallow latch, lots of clicking, fast flow, tongue tie issue.. Melanie worked with us every step of the way and if it wasn’t for her, I would have given up on nursing.
I really enjoy the home visits. With taking care of a toddler as well, the home visits make it so much easier to get the care I need for my baby. Postpartum can also feel so isolating and overwhelming, and Melanie always comes with a smile on her face and just feels like a good, supportive friend. She’s so easy to talk to, professional, and on time.
I’m so proud of the progress my daughter and I have made. Melanie saved my breastfeeding journey!

Melanie has been a lifesaver throughout my breastfeeding journey! Not only is she super knowledgeable & helpful, but she is also so kind, funny and easy to talk to! My baby was born at 5lb 4oz, so ensuring she was eating enough and gaining weight was a huge priority the first few weeks. The pressure and constant worry was very stressful, so two weeks after bringing our baby home I started working with Melanie. She helped teach me all things breast feeding & pumping and just after a month of working with her, my baby is almost 8lbs and I feel confident in my ability to feed her! I highly recommend Bee Nourished & Melanie for anyone looking for a top tier lactation consultant!

Melanie has been a saving grace! She has been doing in-home lactation consulting with me once weekly. This is my first kid and she has helped me to navigate around any stress related to breastfeeding! Additionally, she helped me understand how to best use my pump and ensured that I had all of the proper sizing. She leads our sessions with in a very comforting and approachable manner. I am so glad I was recommended her service!

I had such a wonderful experience working with Mel! She is so helpful when It comes to the overwhelming world of feeding your baby. We worked through everything from latch and supply to pumping and bottle issues, and she helped me come up with a plan that feels realistic and manageable for both me and my baby especially with a toddler at home too. I wish I had found her after having my first! I would highly recommend her to any mom looking for lactation support.

Navigating a new baby and breastfeeding as a first time mom is not easy & I needed help (especially after my baby was diagnosed with a lip & tongue tie). Melanie was my life saver. She taught me so much from proper positioning, appropriate latching techniques, everything involving pumping, and more! After every session I felt more confident and relieved. She really cares about her clients and makes you feel so comfortable. Highly recommend!
