New mom of one week old baby boy. Having problems with latching while nursing. Any tips or professional recommendations are greatly appreciated.
We used Kay Willis at The Nesting Place in Grapevine. The number is 877-625-6803. She is very helpful and experienced!
I went to Beth Nolen in Southlake. She was awesome! Here is some info on her.

HEB Harris Methodist has a GREAT lactation consultation service right in thier maternity wing.
Hi S.,
I HIGHLY recommend Kay Willis of the Nesting Place in Grapevine TX. You can go to her or she will come to you. I had her come to me and it was great. I had a C-Section and was afraid to do some of the positions that I had learned in class. It was all so overwhelming. She spent a lot of time helping me and showed me the laying down position which became my favorite. Her number is ###-###-####, tell her P. sent ya.
Congrats, all the best to you.
A little about me:
SAHM with a 15 mo old daughter who amazes me on a daily basis. It really is true what they say, that time flys by so quickly. I'm happy at all of her accomplishments but miss her being small too. I'd like to meet other SAHM's with a child or children around my daughters age. I sell personalized music and interactive audio story book CD's for children. www.kiddosdelight.com My husband and I love to waterski and would love to meet other couples who have water toys and have a passion for the water. Also, love to travel, read a good book, enjoy a good meal with a glass of wine, scrapbook and work on my computer!
Harris HEB noted below even has a phone line for help. I don't have it with me, but I am sure you can get it on their website. They were awesome support for me with my two babies!

Hi S., where are you located? I am a chiropractor & doula and I often help with breastfeeding advice. My son also had difficulties with his latch due to a poor fit between us. I would be happy to help in any way that I can. I am located in North Richland Hills and my phone is ###-###-####. You may want to work with a nipple shield. S. Kahmann
I recommend Enya McNamara, she was recommended by my OB/GYN. You can check out her website at www.best-for-me.com. She was a lifesaver and her assistance enabled me to successfully soley breastfeed my now 12-month-old son for the last year while working full time. Enya has a wealth of knowledge as she too was once a lactating mom.
Good Luck and God Bless!!
