Testimonials

Megan Dean Lactation’s clients say…

  • “Breastfeeding was harder than I expected in the beginning. My baby and I had problems latching and he was born low birth weight. Megan helped me try different positions and get Luke to latch. The weighted feeds were so so helpful! With Megan's help I was able to ensure he was eating enough while breastfeeding and felt so much more confident. I ended up having an oversupply and Megan taught me how to decrease this supply in a way to prevent clogged ducts and mastitis. I owe my successful and rewarding breastfeeding journey to Megan. I can't imagine trying to figure everything out on my own during such an exhausting post partum period.”

    — Michele C.

  • “As a new mom, breastfeeding has been a challenging journey. From getting mastitis to my milk decreasing, Megan has coached me through difficult days. She has provided me resources and options to overcome my most challenging days along my breastfeeding journey. Megan is my most valuable resource in battling unpredictable challenges. She is very knowledgeable and extremely helpful, I would recommend Megan over and over again.”

    — Blanca R.

  • “Megan has been so much help to my husband and I. Being a new parent can be stressful and learning the ins and outs of breastfeeding is certainly not easy. Our baby girl was having a difficult time with fast letdowns and difficulty with transitioning to a bottle. Megan spent time with my husband and I demonstrating various techniques and really tailoring her teaching to us and our baby girl. She sent us great educational videos during the process. She continued to follow up after our meetings to ensure we were making progress and answered any questions we had along the way. She has instilled so much confidence in us as new parents and we would recommend her to anyone..”

    — Sarah A.

  • “Megan was so kind and helpful! Her treatment plan brought immediate improvement for my baby’s latch and my comfort while nursing. She was professional and thorough when assessing my baby. If I had not contacted Megan I probably would have stopped breastfeeding because of the discomfort it was causing me. All of the pain is now gone, and I couldn’t have done it without Megan!”

    -Danielle

  • "As a first time mom, Megan has been a godsend - especially dealing with jaundice and low milk supply issues.. she was able to provide consultation and follow up appointments promptly after delivery so we did not have to wait anxiously. She even provided detailed and quick communications prior to delivery to address any concerns that we had. Her approach is both professional and compassionate. She took the time to understand our concerns and challenges, offering personalized guidance and support for me, my husband, and our new baby girl. What stands out most about Megan is her unwavering support. She didn’t just provide advice during our sessions but continued to check in and offer encouragement outside of our appointments. I am extremely thankful for her willingness to go above and beyond."

    -Stella and Nathan

  • "My son was born 4 weeks early and I experienced latching and milk supply issues. Megan was very helpful in directing me in ways to help remedy these issues. She was always kind and helpful and tailored her care to my needs. With her help I have seen much improvement in my breastfeeding journey. I would highly recommended Megan to anyone who needs help or guidance when it comes to breastfeeding."

    -Kelly W.

  • "I can directly attribute the success in breastfeeding my little one to Megan Dean Lactation! After overcoming the stress and worry of newborn jaundice, she helped get us back towards my goal of feeding my child the way I envisioned. Megan tailored every step of the process towards what would fit my family’s needs and lifestyle, which included juggling life with a toddler and newborn. She really took my concerns as a Mama to heart and I felt more supported than I ever have been!”

    -Alleson

  • "Megan was amazing and a huge help! Our two month old struggles with reflux issues, which was causing concerns with how much milk he was taking. We also had been trying for weeks to get him to take a bottle and had no luck. Megan made sure to address all of our concerns! After seeing her we felt confident that he was getting enough milk, but also left our sessions feeling very informed on how to increase my supply if needed and a good feeding schedule for my son. She also worked with us during all three sessions on how to help him take a bottle. By the third session he had finally started sucking on the bottle and since then we have seen huge progress! Megan also had sent us guides and videos to help with getting him to take a bottle which were all super helpful. She always followed up and checked in on our progress and answered any questions we had. Megan was so sweet, professional, and amazing with my son. I could not recommend her enough!”

    -Marissa C.

  • "Megan is so kind, patient and attentive. She listens to your concerns and addresses them all. She also offers up ideas or asks questions I haven’t yet thought of. This really helps with the “i don’t know what I don’t know” aspect. I’ll be referring her to all my mom friends that embark on their own breastfeeding journeys. My only regret is that I would have reached her with my first born!"

Megan was there for me to help with not only latching but troubleshooting some issues we were having with weight and reflux! Highly recommend Megan to all new moms or even seasoned moms that need a little more help with breastfeeding!.”

    -Katy C.

    - Julia C.

  • "I contacted Megan for a consultation as I prepared to return to working full time. Megan helped me learn techniques to build up a supply before my start date, strategize the timing and frequency of pumping breaks, and utilize my pump in the most efficient way. I appreciated her attention to detail, from informing me about my legal rights to recommending supplies that would make the transition as seamless as possible. I’ve been back at work for 3 months now and am happy to report that Megan’s plan has been spot on! I never anticipated being able to continue breastfeeding & pumping for this long — I’m so appreciative of Megan’s guidance and the impact it has had for our family!”

    - Lauren S.

  • "I had a wonderful experience during my pumping appointment with Megan. Her space is warm and inviting, and she was a pleasure to talk to. As someone who has struggled with feeling discouraged about my pumping journey, I left her session feeling more motivated and well-informed. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be seeing her again when I have my second child.”

    - Lonneshia W.

  • "The start of motherhood after giving birth is certainly a fast transition, and learning how to breastfeed is something that is learned along the way (and not something that woman learn innately how to do). We did at lactation consultation with Megan on Day 10 (after giving birth) and it was truly the best decision for us! She supported us with affirming a good latch, teaching us how to use the Spectra, weighing baby pre-and-post feeding, spotted jaundice levels on our baby (which led us to schedule an immediate pediatrician's appointment and phototherapy treatment), and so much more. I am so, SO grateful we scheduled this consultation with Megan earlier on, rather than later for a multitude of reasons. If I could've, I would've scheduled this consultation for even sooner because breastfeeding definitely has its joys and challenges. Thank you so much Megan for your support during the consultation and post consultation. I look forward to continue learning from you!!.”

    - Allison M

  • Prenatal Appointment Review: "Megan was so helpful and informative!! I went into our session with very limited breastfeed knowledge and felt so much more equipped leaving our session. She answered all my questions, concerns and provided me with so much useful information. I can't wait for our baby girls arrival and I feel so lucky to have support from Megan on my breastfeeding journey!”

    - Bryanne

  • "Megan has been incredibly supportive and helpful for every phase of our breastfeeding journey. It’s such a blessing to have someone on your team that is as knowledgeable, patient, helpful and passionate about supporting breastfeeding mothers as Megan. Highly recommend!”

  • Give your self the gift of an I'm home lactation consultation! Megan's calm presence and knowledge will make all the difference in your lactation experience. A comprehensive visit that will address your specific needs. I experience terrible postpartum carpal tunnel and she helped me with proper positioning for BF and side lying bottle feeding huge relief. Weighted feeds to see how much milk was being transferred, with low milk supply this was super important to me to understand supplementation and using a breast pump to increase my milk supply. We discussed nutrition, hydration, schedules, baby's mechanics, supplements and pumping. Always a phone call, email or text away supporting us throughout it all. I can't recommend Megan enough.

  • I can't say enough good things about Megan! From the moment we arrived at the consult, she was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. Breastfeeding has been overwhelming, but she gave me the tools I needed to make it work for me and my baby while boosting my confidence. She answered all my questions (even the silly ones!) and never made me feel rushed. If you're a new mom struggling or just need some reassurance, I highly recommend her!

  • Megan has been the BEST support system for my baby and self. She came to my home for each of our appointments and I visited her lactation support grout at New Mom School in Rancho. We started before my baby was even born because I was feeling nervous about breastfeeding. She eased my fears & provided me with a ton of tips, tricks, and resources for nursing and pumping. After my baby was born, she continue to support my breast-feeding journey. I am incredibly grateful for her kindness, thoughtfulness, and professionalism. She’s so easy to talk to and I feel completely comfortable having her help me with such an intimate process. She’s earned my trust and I wholeheartedly recommend her for your lactation needs. Thank you Megan, for everything!

  • I’m so grateful for the support I received from Megan during my breastfeeding journey. She was so kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly encouraging through every step. She took the time to see me when I most needed it. And then guided me with practical advice as I went through different obstacles. I always felt heard and never judged—just supported and also always hopeful to reach the goals that I had. Thanks to her, I gained the confidence I needed. I highly recommend her to any mom going through the ups and downs of breastfeeding.

  • Megan is absolutely incredible! I was having lots of trouble with the latch, pain, blisters, and mastitis and Megan was super knowledgeable in all of those areas. At such a critical time in baby’s development you need someone to be able to help you and you to feel comfortable and that’s what Megan offered. It’s been only a day and I honestly feel so much better with all of those things. I definitely highly recommend Megan and I will be using her throughout my breastfeeding journey anytime I need to.
