Client Reviews
“Breastfeeding did not come naturally to my son or me. As a newly postpartum first-time mom, I was overwhelmed, sleep-deprived, and in pain, struggling to nurse my newborn. I felt discouraged and was on the brink of giving up on breastfeeding. Then I found Carolina. I called her at my wits’ end on a Saturday. She was scheduled to come the next morning--a Sunday. The first thing my husband and I noticed was how professional Carolina carried herself. After introductions, she listened to the struggles my husband and I were having getting our baby to breastfeed, and then did a very thorough evaluation of my newborn and me. After figuring out what our issues were, she got down to business, explaining each issue and things we can try and do to help correct them. She made sure both my husband and I understood the techniques when we did them and never seemed bothered when we would ask her to show us again or repeat herself. She gave us a detailed lactation plan of care. Once the visit was over, she gave a sense that I could and would be able to breastfeed like I wanted exclusively. She followed up quickly. Overall, I would highly recommend Carolina Pimenta to any new mom planning on breastfeeding. My son and I have definitely benefited from our experiences and were able to hit our 6-month goal of exclusively breastfeeding before offering solids. I know this goal was met from the help we received from Carolina.”
— Christina C.“Under the guidance of this professional, every mother can be sure of the safety and joy of you and your baby. We know that when a baby is happy, the whole family is happy. And so I would like to thank you Carolina for taking care that from the moment of delivery I could breastfeed my son. For your guidance, caring and patience with us, for encouraging and motivating me in the most difficult hours that were not few. Breastfeeding is a learning process for the mother and the baby, and having the guidance of a professional like Carolina was fundamental to our success. Thanks to this professional who loves what she does and is always updating, today my son is protected because it feeds exclusively on my milk. He is gaining weight correctly and the time to breastfeed is a unique moment of affection and joy for me and for him.”
— Julia P.“I knew breastfeeding wasn't going to be easy, but the difficulty I was having I was sure was not normal. I found Carolina just searching online; it was easy to get an appointment with her. After the initial appointment, I admit I was overwhelmed with how much I didn't know about breastfeeding. The info she gave me helped me understand lip and tongue tie. The doctors I'd spoken to made it seem more of a cosmetic procedure, but the more I looked into it, the more I knew it was a real issue. It was good to have someone else understand that it was something that would really affect my child's growth and positive breastfeeding experience. We ended up having the tongue and lip tie revisions at the recommendation of Carolina, and it has made a night-and-day difference in the success of breastfeeding for us. That, along with how to position the baby while feeding, really helped. Carolina was upfront with her fees and made sure that we had a copy of all the info by sending it via email, as well as sending her report to our pediatrician. I also went to the group in Columbia, and it was great to chat with other breastfeeding moms and their babies to swap advice on all things new mom-related. The group is great for moms in all situations, not only the stay-at-home variety but back-to-work-too-soon moms like me, too."
