My experience at Shore was great, I delivered my daughter there on Good Friday and was released on Easter Sunday, my nurses were amazing a wonderful, but unfortunately I wasn’t seen by a lactation consultant because of the holiday weekend, but had it been a regular weekend i would have been consulted and maybe wouldn’t be in the predicament I’m in now, I ended up having a bad case of thrush which made breast feeding painful but I also felt I’ve had a latching issue, after dealing with the pain for about 2 weeks (so my daughter at that point was a month old) I called and left voicemails for both consultants, granted I know they are busy but also not always in the office for days at a time, which doesn’t make sense to me how this program they run works... anyways long story short I finally get called back days later to be told I could be seen days later and been seen twice for the thrush issue, well the thrush is cleared up and yet there is still discomfort, so I emailed again to be seen just this Monday and it is now Sunday evening and have yet to be responded to, I’ve decided that hiring my own lactation consultant will probably hopefully fix my problem/issue..because like I’ve been telling them I have a latch issue, even her pediatrician said my latch wasn’t right and her nurse helped me with trying to correct it.. hopefully they can hire another consultant and improve their program to help other breastfeeding mothers like me.
