“Breastfeeding was one of the hardest and also the most rewarding things I've ever had to do. It was one challenge after the other and I don't think I could have done it without the help of the Marin General Lactation Center. Today my son is thirteen months and has never been sick. I am so glad I was able to breastfeed him this long. However, I still need their help since we just started the weaning process. Thank you for the past thirteen months!”

“While being pregnant with my son, I always pictured myself breastfeeding him. Little did I know of the challenges I would encounter or about the monumental efforts I would have to make to get to that point where things would seem natural. Through weeks and weeks of struggle, the MGH Lactation Center and Chris Costello were there for me to help with everything from no milk supply to latching difficulties and painful nipples to monitoring my son's weight gain. As it turns out, breastfeeding is not always easy. One thing I am certain of: my son would have never enjoyed the immense benefits of mom's breast milk if it had not been for Chris and the rest of the gals at the Lactation Center.”
