 I am very happy with our experience with Leilani. She was very prompt with communication. We made an appointment for a home visit which was very convenient being only a week or so postpartum. She arrived on time and was so kind and professional. We were having trouble with our latch and weight gain. She worked with us and gathered all the information she needed to determine what was going on. She made some adjustments we needed in order to get a good latch and made sure she was getting all the milk she needs to gain weight. Leilani also let me text her when I had questions and she was such a big help! We are so happy we worked with Leilani. Thank you again! 

 A friend of mine recommended Breastfeeding Fixers when I talked to her about my baby's bottle rejection problem. I reached out and immediately got a response from Leilani about an in-home consult availability in the next few days. This was very convenient for us because my husband was unable to go with me to her office.

She immediately noticed and pointed out my baby's short and tight frenulum. We've had multiple pediatricians and other LC's tell us we can get the tongue tie released if we want, but none that actually explained that that's causing him to be unable to seal around a bottle nipple and properly suck. While she offered information about how a release would help address all the other symptoms I've noticed (trouble sleeping, fussiness, weight gain issues, etc.) she didn't pressure us to do it. She worked around it and suggested a different way to offer the bottle even with the tongue tie.

After I looked into the frenotomy procedure and its benefits some more, we decided to do it. She recommended a pediatric dentist that used laser instead of scissors or scalpel. We had a great experience with the dentistry. Leilani was so helpful with post-op wound care and weighted feeds.

I really appreciated Leilani's kindness and support. Happy to report that my baby sleeps MUCH better, has had better weight gain, is generally happier, and will take both the nipple bottle and straw bottle! 

 After what seemed like a long and desperate search for experienced consultants, I was so lucky to have found her when my baby was 3 weeks old. I felt like I was fumbling through the first few weeks with little knowledge and very low confidence. I was supplementing with donor milk when I wasn't sure my baby was getting enough. Leilani helped me get my supply up and gave me numerous and helpful tips on so many topics including latch positions, gas/ burping, vitamins and diet suggestions for me. We talked about how to identify crying cues and even discussed sleep practices. She has so many wonderful tips and tricks to share that really helped me in between visits. She is eager to help, easy to communicate with and worth every dollar spent. At 8 weeks pp, my supply is up, I'm more confident than I thought I'd be, and more importantly my baby is gaining weight and thriving. Her office is central and easy to find in Mission Valley area. Go see her! 

 I trust her and depend on her to help take care of our mutual patients and me! An appointment with her is always productive; her holistic approach and use of NET helps connect and treat the mind and body together. On top of her incredible skills, she's also just a warm and caring person and makes you feel so safe

 My four week old and I were having trouble with breastfeeding–generally, as a first time mom, I just have no idea what I’m doing!

In just 90 minutes, Leilani identified some key issues with positioning and latching, and for the first time ever, I was able to feed my girl without pain!  I went home with the training she provided in just one session and things have continued to improve.

I don’t dread my girl’s next meal anymore!  Thank you, Leilani!

Leilani is very sweet, helpful, informative and really cares about her patients and always willing to take a call and help out in any way she can.

I had a few very painful clogged ducts and she was great about coming over to my house Helping with heating/cooling/ massaging, etc. She was influential for me in helping me get the right flange size and type for my breast pump which made a world of a difference. She has an infrared light that reduced immediate inflammation in my breast and suggested letchin supplement which helps out tremendously. Overall I’m very happy to have found her. She is great and best thing is she comes to you when you need. Thank you, Leilani!
