Kind Words
“Best Start has been a life saver for me. As a brand new mom I had no clue breastfeeding would be so difficult. After working with Jane and the staff here it is no only natural and easy, but enjoyable. I feel so fortunate to be able to have this experience with my very healthy and happy breastfed daughter!”
“I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for all your help during the first weeks of my son’s life. Jane Bradshaw was so very helpful in answering questions and providing advice on improving our latch-on technique, going well beyond the call of duty. Best Start is a wonderful resource for the local community. Without your help, many mothers would give up breastfeeding during those critical first weeks.”
“I am SO grateful I took the breastfeeding class at Best Start! I have been breastfeeding my baby for a month with NO pain! I had tremendous pain with my first child. Learning how to position and latch him on correctly made all the difference.”
