” Magda was a lifeline for us!
We struggled with breastfeeding even before we left he hospital. Our baby lost weight so quickly it was scary and it felt like we were doing everything wrong when it came to breastfeeding. I was distraught! The pain, the overwhelm made me feel helpless and lost.
We were ready to give up!
Magda helped me and my husband better understand breastfeeding and our babiy’s cues and needs. We went from not having my milk come in to an exclusively breastfed baby who looks so well fed and healthy. Since I couldn’t choose how to birth my baby , i was really wnating to breastfeed. Magda helped make that happen and we are so grateful!“

I saw Magda less than 48 hours after my daughter was born. We were having issues with latching and I was worried about weight gain, especially after receiving conflicting information in the post-partum unit.
Magda answered quickly, and came to visit me on a Saturday morning.
Her knowledge, reassurance and calm demeanor were everything I needed in the early post-partum time. She gave me evidence-based information, which started our breastfeeding journey on the right foot. A few days later, when I was still having concerns, she saw us again quickly, and knew exactly which steps to take to improve the small issues we were having.
I cannot recommend Magda enough (actually I have already recommended her to all my pregnant friends). I was lucky to meet her and be able to benefit from her expertise.
