I met Moe while in post-partum, where she initially helped with some early feeding problems. Before being released from the hospital, we found out my husband had kidney cancer! Within a few days of being home, my son showed signs of jaundice and was rapidly dropping weight. During this difficult time, Moe helped me fix many of the feeding issues we were having. She also helped me develop a plan to continue breastfeeding during my husband's week long hospitalization and extensive chemotherapy. She was kind, compassionate, and went above and beyond. She enabled me to care for both my son and my husband. I still come in with questions and for her advice. The greatest thing Moe did was empower me to make the decisions that were right for my family's needs. Thank you, Maureen!
