When my daughter was born, her tongue and lip ties went undiagnosed for over a month. I was determined to breastfeed, but I was nearing the edge of despair with all of the problems we encountered. I had already breastfed my first child with no problems, so the constant pain, disappearing supply, latch problems, etc. were incredibly overwhelming. After we got the tie revisions, working with Dana at the Milk Spot was the best thing I ever did for my daughter and I's nursing relationship. I was very hesitant to work with a lactation consultant having been let down by many leading up to our first visit. But Dana was different! I knew immediately that working with her on a regular basis was going to provide the support, encouragement, and practical help that we needed in order to continue. Every visit was extraordinarily helpful and worth our time. I was able to see firsthand how breastfeeding was improving, slowly but surely. My husband and I even called Dana in the midst of a crisis moment at home, and she was calm and ever so patient with us. I only wish that I had found her sooner. Thanks to Dana's help, my daughter and I are on track to enjoy a long and happy breastfeeding journey together. I cannot recommend the Milk Spot and their staff highly enough, and I encourage anyone who is experiencing difficulties to not give up and seek out their help. It is so worth it! Thank you...

My baby had a recent lip and tongue tie release done with another lactation office and after our follow-up appointment at the other office, her latch wasn't improving and they explained thats all we can do and to continue the exercises with her. My breasts were in bad shape and they didn't provide additional support or treatment tips like Dana has. I found Dana by researching for lacation consultants in Central Phoenix. When I called her office, she was super helpful over the phone and immediately gave me advice! She worked around my schedule to immediately see me and in each visit I feel supported and learning something new each time. My breast have healed after a week thanks to Dana's recommendations and my baby's latch has dramatically improved! I...
Read moreI want to express my love and deep gratitude I feel for Dana and Jacqueline. My son was born with severe lip and tongue ties. This made breastfeeding excruciating and we had many difficulties. Dana and Jacqueline helped me get an appointment with a wonderful pediatric dentist, Dr. Ashley, who fixed the ties. Dana did an amazing job assisting Dr. Ashley and kept me calm during the procedure. For the first month of my son’s life, we were in and out of The Milk Spot. Dana and Jacqueline offered such tender care and support as we figured out the best ways to overcome obstacles and become the breastfeeding champions we finally are today! Thank you, thank...
