Jandy Beresford, Breastfeeding and Babywearing Support

Jandy really helped us with our breastfeeding difficulties. We were able to get an appointment quickly for a home visit so that we could start working on our issues right away. Before she came we were using nipple shields, bottle feeding both formula and expressed milk and having a really hard time latching baby and a very painful latch. Things are going much better now. Everything has improved, we're not using nipple shields, I'm able to latch baby and we haven't had to give baby any formula in a while. She was amazing to work with and really helpful.

We reached out to Jandy when we were having breastfeeding trouble at around 7 weeks, with baby often upset at the breast and having to supplement often. Jandy was amazing at providing tips on positioning and techniques to soothe baby to keep him happy at the breast. She also spotted his tongue tie that got missed by other professionals. We were seen at IBC for his tongue tie release where we saw Jandy in person and she made it a smooth experience. My milk production had to catch up to baby’s needs and she instructed us on the use of a lactation aid, and I also started on a medication to increase supply under the guidance of doctors she works with. She also recommended we connect with a chiropractor, which has been extremely helpful as well. Jandy continued to follow up with us virtually to support us until our goals were met. I was close to giving up on breastfeeding before meeting with Jandy. We are very appreciative of her support!

Jandy is literally a super hero. My husband and I came to her 6 days after delivering our beautiful daughter, panicked because we couldn't get her to latch. Through a virtual session, Jandy was able to get our baby latching effectively. Her patience and expertise throughout this process were mind blowing. We followed up with Jandy at the clinic in North York and learned about proper positions for pain-free latching. I would highly recommend Jandy to anyone struggling with breastfeeding- it's well worth the money for a private consultation!

I highly recommend Jandy. I met with Jandy when my daughter was 10 weeks old and we were having trouble breastfeeding. She spotted a tongue tie that had gone undetected by various other professionals. Once the tie had been corrected, Jandy worked with us for several weeks to ensure the latch was perfect and painless. We have now reached one year of pain free, wonderful breastfeeding and I truly think that our success is down to Jandy's support. I can't thank her enough!

When my daughter was already 5 days old and I hadn’t even been able to attempt breastfeeding, Jandy was there to support. Working with my one on one for the next 5 weeks and through multiple challenges from low supply to trouble latching, we never gave up. After having tried the free clinics with York Region unsuccessfully, I found Jandy so different as she takes the time to work with what you’re comfortable with and doesn’t pressure you when you’re struggling. I’ve now been successfully breastfeeding for over a month thanks to Jandy.

Thank you Jandy! I was having lots of pain and anxiety nursing and had to stop at 2 weeks. I went to exclusive pumping for 5 weeks, which helped a lot and allowed me to heal, but was a ton of extra work between sanitizing bottles and pumping 7x a day. I was motivated to try nursing again and met with Jandy when my baby was 7 weeks. One of the first things she did was observe my baby's mouth and identified a tongue tie (which no one had noticed before!). We had the tie released and with some guidance on positioning, I have been able to successfully breastfeed. My baby is now 12 weeks old, gaining weight and full time nursing. The outcome is better than I expected and I owe it to Jandy! THANK YOU.

Jandy is amazing at what she does. Breastfeeding is a real art and she was able to help get me and my son on track early on. She showed us various techniques and stayed with us for a few feeds to make sure that we were successfully latching. She showed us how to correctly position our little guy and this has all lead to a way better feeding experience and no pain. She also provided some recommendations and referrals on other things to help that we would have never thought to ask about. She is super proactive at following up afterwards and providing whatever support is needed. I would highly recommend reaching out to Jandy if you plan to breastfeed. Reach out before your little one is born and she will make sure to be available as soon as you need her !

I cannot stress enough how amazing, knowledgeable, and supportive Jandy is. I had countless problems and injuries from 6 weeks of really bad breastfeeding. My injuries took 3 months to heal during which time I exclusively pumped and my daughter lost all association between me and breastfeeding. It was in the final stages of healing that we met Jandy and the team at IBC. She answered all of our questions and explained everything so clearly (something we lacked from all of the local experts" we had seen) then

Jandy is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. I wholeheartedly recommend her. With her support, both before and after our baby's arrival, I was able to overcome challenges with milk supply and latching to successfully breastfeed. Jandy was kind, patient, (and funny!) and created a safe environment to learn and be vulnerable- particularly important in those early days after birth. I really appreciated her ability to help me find solutions that worked best for me and my family. She really took the time to ask questions and understand what was most important to me. She is an excellent problem solver and offered solutions that were realistic, practical and didn't feel overwhelming for me as a new parent. Jandy is exceptional at what she does!

My little boy needed to stay in the hospital on restricted bottle feeds for the first two weeks after he was born. I had tried to get him onto the breast with wavering success. By three months I had been basically exclusive pumping and I had almost completely given up on breastfeeding. However as a last resort I decided to contact Jandy. I wish I had come to her sooner! She has been a great help for us. Jandy is compassionate and patient. She is flexible and even gave me tips when I thought I was just going to keep pumping. With her help I was able to go from 100% exclusive pumping to 100% breastfeeding. It has been a great blessing and it feels like a miracle that I have been able to meet my breastfeeding goals! Will definitely be going back to Jandy for any future concerns and taking advantage of the great services she offers
