"I can’t praise Boober enough. I was really struggling with painful breastfeeding,and within an hour of filling out the form, I was texting and then on a phone call with a very knowledgeable, empathetic, and friendly representative who connected me with a wonderful lactation consultant. I’m still working on new feeding positions I learned, but I have a ton more confidence now. Thanks, Boober!"
"Boober is a lifesaver. I still tell my husband that reaching out to Boober was the best thing I did after giving birth last June. Jada was so kind and immediately connected me with an amazing lactation consultant. Shoshanna helped me work through my bf-ing issues and the results were immediate. Both Jada and Shoshanna followed up to see how I was doing. My initial goal was to BF my LO until she was 3 months. Then it was until she was 6 months. She’s almost 8 months now and we’re still going strong all thanks to Boober. I went from hating BF-ing to loving the qt with my lo."

"Attended a free zoom webinar on an intro to lactation and it was so helpful. Jada was engaging,answered all questions, and seemed very knowledgeable. I Would highly recommend and pass on to anyone looking for lactation assistance!"
"Took a Lactation 101 course w/ Jada (offered through Hatch). I learned so much in an hour and am ready for more. Jada is fluid and knowledgeable - I immediately felt confident in her knowledge and experience. No longer live in Brooklyn or even Tri-state but won't hesitate to pay for more Boober virtual services based on this experience."
"I had a virtual session through Boober with Jada. Her expertise and understanding really made me feel comfortable and encouraged me on the breast feeding path. Through the virtual session we were still able to work through my concerns and I was able to obtain targeted guidance. Jada even looped in another specialist to help us with the baby’s ties.We are on a better path for successful breastfeeding due in large measure to Boober’s support and resources. Thank you!"
"I've taken 3 virtual classes with Jada and they have been a lifesaver for me and my husband!We are expecting our first baby and have learned everything from lactation 101 infant sleep best practices, and childbirth basics all virtually. Thank you so much Jada!"
"Eden was a godsend!! and booking through Boober was a breeze! Would definitely recommend this service to all new moms. I'm a FTM and when I got home with my little one after 2 days tin the hospital, my nipples were already cracked and bleeding. Every feeding was a nightmare. The hospital nurses did their best to help me with latching, but I was still having serious issues and pain. After 2 hours with Eden, my nursing became 100% pain free. I healed quickly and now nursing is the lovely, comfortable bonding experience it ought to be."
