SOS MAMAN - Lactation Maman Cigogne

Excellent service!We have used Rosa's services for our breastfeeding difficulties.I had spend a month struggling to feed my baby because I didn't know what the problem was. After intolerable pain, damaged nipples, hurting back, I had purchased all imaginable nipple gadget/cream and all different breastfeeding pillows on the market and nothing helped.Rosa evaluated my baby and our breastfeeding and found that our baby had a tongue tie and lip tie that have been misdiagnosed by two pediatricians and two nurses.I was reluctant to have a procedure done on my baby at first so we started with repositioning during breastfeeding and stretching and tongue mobilization exercises. I could see an improvement but it wasn't painless just yet. I finally decided to go ahead with the frenectomy that Rosa recommended and do not regret it. We are 2 days post-procedure and baby has improved her latch and pain is gone. We are continuing with the post-procedure exercises to keep improving her tongue mobility as baby now has to learn to move her tongue in new ways.On top of that Rosa has provided valuable information on baby care (sleep and wake period routine, magic swaddle method, playtime ideas) and has shown me how to breastfeed in a baby carrier so I wouldn't be stuck on the couch to feed baby. She also responded to my various questions about pumping, sterilization, schedule, allowed wine consumption, etc.I definitely recommend calling Rosa !

The lactation consultant gave us a lot of great tips to improve the breastfeeding experience, she alsoAnswered other questions that will help us improve the sleeping journey of our baby!She is knowledgeable, kind and has practical experience.We are very happy with her :)

I am so grateful to have found Rosa at the start of my breastfeeding journey! My newborn was having slow weight gain and difficulty latching. Rosa diagnosed the problem immediately as a tongue tie and referred us quickly for treatment. She was instrumental in providing me guidance and recommendations to establish breastfeeding including positioning techniques, treating/preventing clogged ducts, and a wealth of other information. I feel I would not have been able to establish breastfeeding, had I not been lucky enough to seek her guidance early on! She is definitely the best healthcare professional I have had the pleasure of working with.

I highly recommend Rosa's services. She was professional and was able to provide several pieces of advice to increase my milk supply, as well as guide me on how to pump properly. I wish I had gone to her before giving birth to learn everything instead of scrambling once the baby arrived!

Rosa mis-guided me about my baby’s lip tie and tongue tie. She said there will be no pain - like cutting a nail. My baby has been crying non stop for hours and is not drinking milk either from bottle or breast. She was bleeding so much. Neither the dentist who Rosa ‘recommended’ informed us about bleeding not she did. They said it will be like a breeze. Now my baby is in so much pain and not drinking at all. We are having to take her to emergency. To make matters worse, Rosa started blaming me that I did not consult her before getting the procedure when she is the one who recommended this awful procedure. I do not recommend this person.

I highly recommend Rosa’s services.Here is my experience:I started my breastfeeding journey with alot of problems; baby not latching properly because of small mouth opening, baby’s lip and tongue ties, late initial breastfeeding…Baby was loosing weight and my midwives were helping me to the best of their abilities to get my milk supply up, however it had been 2 weeks since his birth and no progress or clear plan was established. I was getting a miximum of 2 hours sleep per day due to all the different procedures I was trying. I was only able to pump 5-10ml every 2 hours, very little milk…Then I got fed up and hired a laction specialist. Rosa came to our house, gave us diagnosis and a clear plan to follow. For me the first plan was for my husband to bottle feed and for me to sleep and pump. Today, 3 1/2 months later, through alot of very hard work, dedication and Rosa’s help, I am now almost exclusively breastfeeding and supplementing with my pumped milk only 30-60ml a day (baby needs about 700ml/day)Huge progress and peace of mind during the process thanks to Rosa!

I found Rosa through a simple Google search, and so happy I did! Rosa was able to do a home visit shortly after I contacted her for breastfeeding support. She confirmed that baby had tongue and lip ties and referred us to a pediatric dentist for laser revision. Following the revision, Rosa came to the rescue when she knew we needed immediate assistance. Even though she was sick, she offered to hop in the car and drive out (50 mins away) to help us right away, something I’m not sure anyone else would do! Rosa responds promptly to emails and texts. Five stars! Happy to have found someone who gives great service. Breastfeeding is very hard work, if you need help look no further.

Rosa is an angel sent from above. She came to help me with breastfeeding my 3 month old and right away identified an upper lip and tongue tie. She referred me to an amazing pediatric dentist and within 3 days we were able to get the procedure done. She also identified some neck tension in my baby and referred me to a pediatric Chiro, who is also outstanding. Rosa is so knowledgeable, and caring but also tells it to you how it is - she isn’t someone who dances around things, which I fully respect. Do not hesitate to call her. She is the absolute best!!

I had a great experience with Rosa. She is the only person who noticed my son had a tongue tie. Thanks to her, my breastfeeding experience got much better! Thank you Rosa! Highly recommended.

Rosa is extremely experienced, knowledgeable, professional, organized, and a pleasure to work with. She helped identify my baby's tongue and lip tie and was there to support through the correction process and to help ensure my breastfeeding journey could continue successfully. I am really glad I found her and would highly recommend her services to anyone who needs help. Thank you, Rosa!(Note that she is located in St-Hubert, not St-Henri as Google states)
