Hi Ann, I wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for all your help with my son. He just turned one year old. Please take a look at the picture I’ve attached of him. We’ve encountered a number of additional difficulties since I saw you last, but we continue to persevere. I’m hoping we make it to my goal of 18 months. Thanks again, Marianna

Dear Ann, Thank you ever so much for your very kind note. The gratitude is all ours to feel – we were at the absolute nadir of our breast feeding efforts when we came to you and you were nothing short of God’s angel for us. Not only were we fighting a losing battle but we were ill informed as to the right tools to use and stubborn in our refusal to do any better. While you were patient and kind, you were also firm and relentless in your effort to push us towards a more sensible approach. Yours is a noble calling and the passion with which you perform it is awe inspiring. It was this passion that convinced us to follow your recommendation…

Thank you again for all of your assistance during a very joyful, yet stressful time for us. I was very depressed about our trouble latching & you truly were such a calming, positive presence when we needed it most. We look forward to working with you again when #2 arrives (sometime in the quite distant future!). I attached a picture of Emma – 9 months old today. Quite the difference from the 8 lb newborn when you last saw her 🙂 Thanks again! Sarah

Ann, Yesterday I did not had the chance to say all the things I wanted to say to you. I give thanks to God for knowing someone like you. Even though the outcome in regards lactation was not what we wanted, I felt your support in every step of the way. I am grateful to know someone as you and I will never forget you. I pray that God opens bigger doors for you and that you receive in triplicate all the blessings and good you did for me. God bless you!!! With love and respect, Katie

Hi Ann, Mum sorry I never responded but you helped me so much! Literally after I left I was so encouraged! I don’t think I could have kept going without your help. So thank you so much for everything! God bless AKISHA

Ann, Thank you for your help! Emily had her tongue tie corrected at Carolina ENT and it seems to have really helped. I notice a difference in her taking deeper swallows and staying more active at the breast, and I feel less pain with latching. Pumping is slow going but I’ve been able to supplement a couple nights with breastmilk. Shoshana

Hi Ann, Is there a site that has the breastfeeding crawl on it that I can access? Id like to show someone. I wasn’t sure if it was available to the public.  I have found several on youtue but not nearly as nicely done. Ps: I felt so good about breastfeeding after your class. You gave me a lot of knowledge and confidence for this time around. -Leighanne

This past Sunday, Jason and I went to a breastfeeding class by Ann Conlon-Smith.  She is a privately practicing board certified lactation consultant and owns her own company called Triangle Lactation.  She has had 6 sons, two of whom were twins and she breastfed all of them.  She is absolutely one of the most highly regarded lactation consultants in our area. We want to breastfeed these babies, and even though I’ve read a few books on breastfeeding, we figure we can’t do enough to prepare, so we also decided to take this class.  The class was really informative and it was great to be able to ask Ann questions about juggling twins.  She really is an expert at breastfeeding. At one point, they actually had…

Ann, I always think if you and how great you were with us. I want to keep in touch and let you know how is my little girl. She is growing so fast. She is already eating solids, crawling, sitting by herself and standing up. She is so brilliant and happy. We are doing really well. I am working from home and out of anti depression meds. I would love to see you!!! Attached a picture of Emma…now 7 months old. Hope you are doing well!! Love, Emma

Just wanted to say thank you for all your help and support. You are amazing at what you do and it’s such a comfort to know that I can follow up with you. I would have given up on breastfeeding/pumping a long time ago without your help. Thank you 🙂 Allie
