Excellent! Linda is great. She came to my home and helped me with breastfeeding problems I was having. My baby is 7 weeks old and we are still having nipple soreness and blistering. Living in pain is not the life. And my baby was never fully satisfied. I’ve been to several different lactation consultants and none were able to help me. I’ve been given band aid remedies by others. «Use a nipple shield“just pump“use more lanolin» none were helping. It turns out my baby had a tongue tie. Linda has a passion for her work and is worth every penny. I’ll be having her return for a follow up after the procedure is done to ensure me and baby are on track for success. Thanks Linda!!!

Thank you for your kindness in handling my incredibly stressed out phone call today. I appreciated your recommendations and advice, especially because I was just calling you based on finding your number here on Unilocal.My nursing relationship with our daughter is not something I take lightly, it’s so special, and I’m thankful that I got to speak with you. Thank you again.

Knowledgeable, kind and very diligent! My son is breastfeeding so much better after she diagnosed his tongue tie. Linda even came with me for the procedure, which was above and beyond. She responded to all my follow up text questions quickly, never made me feel rushed or like she was on the clock. I would recommend her to anyone!

I’m a stickler for checking people’s credentials. I do this in areas where I have very little contacts and/​or it’s an area where I don’t have that much knowledge in. At the end of the day, it’s a way to build trust. With that said, you can look up Linda’s certification at
.
So on to the breastfeeding consulting. I’m not the one breastfeeding so I’m not the one to ask. What can I say is that she answered all my questions. What was interesting is that she said that my kids may have tongue tie and that may lead to some of the difficulties with the breastfeeding. If she’s right, then the consult is more than worth it. If it isn’t, I think I learned a bit more and I’m still happy with that new knowledge.

Where do I begin!
Three days after my son was born I thought he hated me and breastfeeding. He would become so angry and frustrated when I tried to latch him onto my Breast. He would tire himself out and fall asleep without eating well enough. I frantically called around to find a lactation consultant that could help me figure out what the problem was.
Guys, I’m not a beginner. I breastfed both my older children for years. So why issues now?
Linda came to my house that same night (around 8pm) identified that my son had both a tongue and a lip tie! Let me tell you it is a relief to know that it was not my fault he was having issues. I cried multiple times a day because I didn’t understand why this was happening to me.
She sent my husband off to Target to buy me a nipple shield. Linda stayed and showed me how to use it and also gave me a breastfeeding plan that I could follow to keep my milk supply up which included pumping and supplementing and a lot of nursing!
It was a rough road but when I was feeling discouraged or tired and wanted to give up I would text her and she would make me feel better. Linda is my breastfeeding angel.
She recommended a doctor to perform the procedure to release our sons tongue and lip. The doctor is located in San Diego, Ca. Linda was there at the appointment to support me and my son during the procedure and also followed up with me within a few days with a scale to measure how much breast milk he is taking in. AMAZING!
Ever since then my son has been breastfeeding like a pro! I can definitely see my son breastfeeding for a long time.
I would definitely recommend Linda to every mother that is looking for a kind, supportive, non judgmental consultant.

I am so glad that I contacted Linda Goodman for my breastfeeding issues. I’ve had a hard time with my LO and getting her to latch properly. Linda is very knowledgeable and experienced not only as a Ibclc but with lip and tongue tie issues. She also noticed that my LO had jaw and facial tightness and recommended chiropractic and cranio-​sacral therapy to help relax those muscles. She gave me different ideas on how to produce more milk and overall answered all of my questions. What’s fantastic is that Linda came back the following day to finish up proper latch techniques because my LO had fallen asleep during that part of the consultation. I would definitely recommend Linda Goodman to anyone seeking breastfeeding assistance. Not only is she experienced and knowledgeable but she also cares. 11:11

Linda was so helpful! I didn’t know my son had a lip tie and it was such a relief to identify the problem behind all my pain. She helped me figure out the pump and answered so many of my questions. Thank you Linda for solving the mystery!

Linda was super knowledgeable and helpful! She spent a lot of quality time with me and my baby, and never rushed any of my questions or issues to discuss. She coached me on an unfamiliar breastfeeding position that has already proven to be very helpful. She also gave me great advice on how to increase my milk supply. I immediately felt very comfortable and at ease with Linda and I’m so happy I called her. Thank you Linda!

Linda is a skilled and knowledgeable IBCLC with experience in tongue and lip tie issues– something even our local best hospitals aren’t up to date on. I highly recommend her for Whittier and surrounding area residents who need some help with breastfeeding.

My son was born in June 2014 and I had a very very difficult time breastfeeding him. I finally called Linda and she came to my home the very next day. She spent a good 15 minutes or so just examining my sons mouth to see if everything was ok… none of the other lactation consultants looked at his mouth. She thought he was tongue tied so I went back to the pediatrician who confirmed he was tongue tied which was why he couldn’t latch on. I had him snipped and he was able to latch!
She also wrote out a plan to increase my milk supply. Now 5 months later I’m still breastfeeding and have lots of milk. I would totally recommend Linda to anyone having breastfeeding problems!

I’m so glad I called Linda. I had a very hard time nursing my first due to a number of issues. Being a new mom, I had no clue what I was doing and Linda was able to walk me through my problems, calm down my fears, and ease my frustrations. Linda is very gentle and clear about her instructions, and I attribute her good work for being able to make it to 18 months bfing my son. Now that my second is here, I know who to call if I come across any problems.

Linda was amazing and helped me so much with my breastfeeding issues. Breastfeeding was painful and difficult with my daughter. Linda had a lot of great advice and tips. She examined the way my daughter fed. She was very easy to talk to and super nice. It’s been a few weeks since my meeting with Linda. My daughter is a little over a month old and I can see myself breastfeeding for a long time. I am so happy I called Linda! Thank you Linda!!!
