Praise for Nourish My Baby
Courtney, Wayne New Jersey
" Tara was a calming presence in the whirlwind of a breastfeeding frenzy. Who knew breastfeeding could be so challenging?! Tara immediately reassured us that as natural as it is, there is a learning curve. She worked with me, my husband and our little one, never losing her patience . Tara guided us through each step and developed a nursing plan that works for us, never lecturing or making us feel like we had failed. Her words of encouragement , knowledge and demeanor got us through rough first days as new parents and her follow up made us feel like we were not alone. Tara is a fabulous resource for every new parent!"
Nicole , Wayne New Jersey
"Being a new mom was awesome but it was also the time in my life where I had endless questions and uncertainty. I knew I wanted to nurse my son but when I got home from the hospital, it wasn't as simple as I thought. Tara was wonderfully helpful and because of her guidance I was able to exclusively nurse."
Tierney, Manalapan
"Tara is absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend working with her if you can. She is patient, knowledgable, and cares about you. she worked with my twin boys and got both of them to breastfeed while also offering advice about other baby questions. As a first time mom with twins, I felt very lucky to have met Tara. "
Tangy, Haledon

Natalie, Fairlawn
"After immense struggling trying to nurse my first born, I have held much anxiety around nursing my second. Tara has been so very supportive during this journey for me. Not only Is she incredibly knowledgable, she is also empathetic, nonjudgemental, warm, down to earth and an ally in your corner. I continue to meet with Tara for encouragement and support around my anxieties with my breastfeeding and building my confidence in my ability to nurse. She continues to provide mindful, calming perspective and presence, as well as , reassurance. I really couldn't have a better LC. She is part of my journey of successfully nursing and I am so thankful to have her support. I feel fortunate for her help and wholeheartedly, hands down, recommend her to anyone looking for support around breastfeeding! "
Kevin Fung, Pompton Plains
