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.
