What Families Are Saying

Real Experiences With Lotus Lactation

★★★★★

“Megan was such a help after having my daughter. I could come to her with any questions or concerns I had and she was always willing to give advice, or sometimes just listen. She has a true passion for helping babies and their families and it shows every time you see her. I never felt pushed or uncomfortable, she helped me reach the goals I set and was there to offer her support. She always told me that if I felt something was the right thing to do then it was the right thing. Truly a wonderful experience. Thank you, Megan, for being an amazing teacher and helper.”

★★★★★

“Megan is an amazing teacher and source of knowledge. I wish I had known her when I first had my son. She has helped me with my 4 month old who eats a ton, but wasn’t sleeping longer than 2 hours at a time at night. She showed me techniques to help fill his belly and nurse more efficiently during the day and at night when I’m sleepy. She really empowers you as a mom to do what’s best for you and your child. My son loves her and lights up when she is around. I truly trust her because of the passion and expertise she brings every time I meet with her.” 

★★★★★

“Megan has been an amazing lactation support. She is extremely knowledgeable and made me feel confident and secure in my choices. Breastfeeding was a scary and stressful experience for me, but Megan has always been there, with her friendly and nurturing nature. She has even been able to make the experience fun and extremely rewarding! I would absolutely recommend her to anybody with questions or worries about lactation!”
