I hired LCA again when I recently gave birth to my second son. This time I worked with Jana and she has been absolutely fantastic. She’s incredibly patient and knowledgeable, and quickly saw that my son had a tongue & lip tie which needed to be addressed to assist with breastfeeding. Also, it was so helpful that they offer in-home consultation. I highly recommended this LCA for help with breastfeeding, they are incredibly resourceful, helpful and caring!

Jana, Sharon and Jean were great. They truly were available almost 24/7 when I struggle with a couple of mastitis and a lot of issues I went through. I always felt I was able to go to them at anytime. They truly care about moms and babies. Highly recommend them - best lactation consultants in Marietta!!

Heather of LCA is amazing! . She helped me understand breastfeeding as a first time mom and solve our latch issues. Our little guy had a severe tongue tie and she referred us to a local Pediatric Dentist to get his tongue released. She worked with us to learn how to feed him before the release while keeping my supply up and then came back to evaluate him post operatively. She gave us exercises to do that really helped with our little guys latch post-op and made him successful at breastfeeding. We couldn't have done it without Heathers help! We will keep Lactation Consultants of Atlanta in our back pocket for future children.

The staff are kind, patient, and go out of their way to provide excellent care for mom and baby. I was able to get scheduled quickly and the facility was very much Covid friendly. I highly recommend them!

Great experience. I regret not going sooner in my postpartum/breastfeeding experience. I honestly had no idea what I was doing and “winging it” was not working (baby was rapidly going down in percentiles). Sharon really helped me get on track. I will strongly recommend them to my friends moving forward who plan on breastfeeding.

When I was referred to LCA, I was in shambles. They saw me immediately. My baby was urinating very little and not having stools for a couple of days, save the day she was born. We were discharged in this state. My baby was miserable. When we met with Heather and her team, they informed us that we would have to supplement with formula, then proceeded to give us tools so that I could continue breastfeeding. Within the first 12 hours, my baby had enough output and was much, much happier. The next couple of weeks were rough what with the supplementing, but eventually, with the help of Heather, I have since been successfully breastfeeding. We can not thank Heather and her team enough. They were understanding, informative, responsive and kind.

Super flexible in coordinating the pick up/drop off of the rental which was crucial with a newborn. Staff was friendly and offered thoughtful advice and encouragement. Definitely recommend!

The ladies here are wonderful! They are so patient, they never rush me, and I always feel heard and understood. There is no shame or embarrassment here - they have seen and heard it all I guess! Even though I had no issues nursing my first child, my second child brought many challenges. When my daughter was 2 months old, I had issues with getting her to nurse (she had stopped gaining weight), and I ended up with a terrible case of mastitis. Heather was amazing at helping us get back on track. Weekly classes and free weight checks gave me so much knowledge and peace, and most importantly, restored health to my baby. Thanks to her, I'm still nursing at the 1 year mark! I also had surgery recently, and Jana helped me understand how my medications would affect my baby and worked out a nursing schedule that allowed me to continue breastfeeding safely. This clinic is a lifesaver - I highly recommend them!
