"Elaina has been an absolute blessing to me and my family! She is highly professional and knowledgeable. Her recommendations and support with breastfeeding, my son's reflux issues, and transitioning to solids were very useful for us. Elaina is truly the most caring and compassionate person. With encountering many issues, Elaina told me that she would be there with us through it all and get us through it, and that she did! Many people are talented, which Elaina is; however, it is her true passion for what she does and commitment to help others that makes her someone that you certainly want on your side! Parenthood, and breastfeeding, can be difficult to navigate and I can testify that Elaina will be with you in the process! Forever grateful, Kyla."

"I cannot say enough great things about Elaina and the services she offered….The Nest was the most welcoming environment, I felt like I had known Elaina forever. She gave me some tips and tricks which definitely helped. Fast forward 2 weeks…5am I have blocked ducts and I messaged her for more guidance. She quickly responded and gave me some pointers and things to watch for and thankfully I was able to catch problems before they became major issues for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making what could have been a terrible transition, a wonderful one!"

-Taylor Shanahan

"I was sadly mistaken when I realized my second baby wasn’t going to be a dream feeder like my first! I thought it was going to be easy because I “had done this before” - but after trying everything, & feeling defeated, I had a consult with Elaina as a last resort before giving up & switching to formula. After our first meeting, I felt supported & motivated to try again. After a few minor changes, I was much more relaxed & breastfeeding was a total breeze! Elaina helped me bond with my baby & I am forever grateful!"

-Ash A.

Elaina was very knowledgeable and patient with me and my husband.

I highly recommend The Nest Breastfeeding and Prenatal Services to any parents struggling or in need of reassurance with breastfeeding/feeding in general."

-Joanna F.

"Elaina was on a family trip and she was still able to find time to help me! I was struggling to breast feed my two month old. She was amazing and video chatted with me to check my latch and confirm that is likely a tongue tie that was causing the pain. When she was home from vacation she helped me right away…and also continued to follow up with me to make sure my breast feeding improved. She was the best support! After going to many different consultants! She was friendly and approachable and I felt like she really cared about me and my baby! I would recommend her over and over again."

-Kendra Bester

"Excellent service. Highly recommend. Elaina really cares about her clients. Breastfeeding can be very overwhelming and having twins I didn't think I could do it. Elaina gave me the confidence I needed and the techniques to use to be successful. We are so grateful for her. Thank you so much!"

-Erin M.

"Elaina was an incredible person to have by my side during the early postpartum days. She was always so sweet and kind with me and my newborn. Without her encouragement and guidance, I would have given up and we wouldn't have had a successful breastfeeding experience. Thank you Elaina!"

-Rachel Helder

"Elaina has been very supportive and knowledgeable when I needed help with my son during our breastfeeding journey. She was able to diagnose my sons reflux which was causing him discomfort and night wakings as well as provide feeding suggestions to help reduce the reflux. She replies promptly to any questions I have and takes the time to explain things in detail while listening to her patients concerns. It has really reduced my stress knowing that there is someone available when struggling through this journey of motherhood. Thank you for all you do Elaina! We are very lucky to have had you support us!"

-Chandler D

"Elaina was a life saver for me and my family. As a first time mother, I had no idea how hard breastfeeding was. Of course I had researched how to breast feed, the different positions, how to tell when your baby was hungry or full but when my little one was born, it was a different ball game. Elaina single handedly helped me through every stage of breastfeeding, helped diagnose CMPA and a lip tie. She is very personable, empathetic, kind, and understanding. It was exactly what I needed as I was also battling with PPD. Elaina always reassured me, took her time with me, and even gave me access to her 24/7 in case I needed help…I 100% would recommend Elaina to anyone."

-Isabel Alba

"Elaina is an excellent communicator who is also extremely knowledgeable about breastfeeding and gives great care to the moms and babies in her hands.

"I give Elaina at The Nest Breastfeeding and Prenatal Services Inc. my HIGHEST recommendation. I struggled in the past to find a provider in this field who truly cared about the struggles I was having related to breastfeeding. Elaina went above and beyond any other provider I’ve ever had to make sure I was heard, validated, and set up for success in my breastfeeding journey."

-Holly Hagedorn

"As a first time mom, I reached out to Elaina before giving birth, knowing how many friends had challenges breastfeeding. I knew right away I would like her! She replied quickly and I could feel her positive energy right away through her email response. Over our 3 visits, she answered my questions including ones I had around pumping for times I would be away from my baby. She helped teach me to use and sanitize a pump when I was ready without judgement. Elaina also made herself available between appointments to answer questions. I am grateful for the help she has provided in my breastfeeding journey and would not hesitate to recommend her."

-Cara Schlorff

"I am so lucky to have Elaina as my lactation consultant. As a first time mom, I had bad latches, so within the first few days both my nipples were badly damaged and the pain became excruciating. On the verge of giving up, I sent a few emails to see if I can visit an LC asap. Elaina responded to my email promptly and wrote me a very long and detailed reply packed with useful tips…She helped me with my latching, increasing milk supply, engorgement, and blocked ducts issues. Now my baby is one month old and breastfeeding has become much easier. Looking back, I couldn't have done it without her help."

-S. Li

"I truly could not have successfully nursed my twins without Elaina’s support and guidance. She welcomed me in her office, went out of her way to visit my home and was available outside of normal hours via text. She also made sure to consult with my twins other providers (chiro and GP) to advocate for the care they very much needed. The best part of being under Elaina’s care is that she truly cares about her patients. She knows both me and my twins very well and checks in on us regularly. I highly recommend her to any struggling parent(a) who need help on this crazy journey we call parenting!"

Amelia McAdam

"Elaina made me feel so...not judged. We talked about breastfeeding, bottle feeding, soothers etc...all without me feeling judged as a mom. She noticed my little one has a tongue tie that is affecting her sucking regardless of method. She helped me with way more in an hour long appointment than the countless other medical professionals I had seen on multiple occasions. 100% recommended!!"

-Amelia Brennan

"Elaina is absolutely wonderful. She made me feel heard, supported and safe in what can otherwise be a vulnerable journey. She gave expert advice, took the time to answer questions, and was consistently available to discuss if needed. She was also just wonderful interacting with my newborn. I cannot recommend her enough, and I will absolutely use this service again."

-Megan De Roover

"Could not be more thankful for everything Elaina did for us as a family. With Elaina’s love, support, encouragement and advice... I went from being discouraged and crying at every feeding to now being able to enjoy every moment of motherhood…At our very first visit Elaina was able to create a sense of calm in me that I truly believe no one else could of accomplished…She was able to give me the advice and support I needed to feel comfortable continuing to breastfeed. Elaina was always available to chat when I was stressed, worried or even when I had good news to report. I truly cannot express how wonderful of a person she is and how honoured I am to have worked with her."

-Meg Tucker

"I cannot praise enough my experience with Elaina.

-Kasia Niewiadomski

"Very grateful for Elaina! We've found her to be positive, enthusiastic, knowledgeable & incredibly supportive. She also goes above and beyond to ensure any questions we have are answered thoroughly and promptly, and when we mentioned using a product she was not familiar with she offered to research it and get back to us. Fantastic dedication to her work! Elaina was also quick to connect, caring and reassuring after a scary episode of aspiration which was a great relief. We've had the pleasure of working with her both at home and in office to check weight, latching, tongue tie & reflux issues and appreciated her perspective and lived experience. Thank you very much for your help Elaina!"

-Karin Lynn

Navigating breastfeeding as a new mom is hard and she provided me with a tremendous amount of support and encouragement and was always willing to answer any questions I had between appointments.

I highly recommend her services to any moms who need assistance."

-Helvi Bayley

"Elaina was absolutely wonderful to work with! …Elaina helped us to navigate my low supply so thoughtfully and offered additional information to help us get on the right track. Unfortunately due to my own health problems we decided to stop breastfeeding. Elaina without hesitation reached out to offer any support we needed with formula/bottle feeding. Such a refreshing and comforting take when it seems as though there is still stigma with formula feeding. We are so grateful for her help with our journey and 100% recommend The Nest for any new moms, you absolutely won’t regret it! Thank you Elaina and The Nest for everything!"

"Elaina is great , I was having difficulties with breastfeeding with my 2nd and she was able to find a tongue tie which was corrected very quickly.Breastfeeding became a lot easier and my baby is now able to suck much better after that process. I would 100% recommend her if you have any issues with breastfeeding."

-Nancy Verma

"I was referred to Elaina by a breastfeeding support group. She supported me and my preemie baby. She examined and explained that my little one had tie and lip tie that made it different for her to properly feed. She also supported me anytime of the day. One night I messaged her at 9pm and she got doctors on the phone and helped me locate a cows milk protein free formula to help me with my LO’s milk intake and acid reflex. She is so smart and informative. I cannot recommend Elaina enough to whoever needs breastfeeding support. She is so smart, so kind and so supportive. We thank God everyday for having the chance to meet, and work with Elaina to help our little one grow and flourish. Don’t be shy and ask anything, they will help anyway they can."

-Mirna J

"Elaina is a true magician. After seeing many many specialists and lactation consultants Elaina was the only person to successfully help me reach my end goal of Exclusively Breastfeeding. I never knew all there was to breastfeeding but with the help of Elaina, it made it less daunting. She is not only knowledgeable in breastfeeding but all things pumping as well. I will definitely be returning to her whenever I have another child."

-Carleigh Bebelaar

"Elaina is absolutely AMAZING!! I highly recommend going to see her if you are breastfeeding! She is so understanding and sweet!! You can definitely tell she loves the tiny humans and is great with them!! She noticed a lip and tongue tie on my boy withing seconds of seeing us, meanwhile both my midwives and pediatrician missed them! She definitely knows what she is doing and is extremely informative!! I could not recommend The Nest more!!"

I felt very comfortable and well looked after during my appointments and was given every resource and access to assistance I could’ve asked for. She’s very caring and you can just tell she’s passionate about the work she does and helps both mom and baby leave happy, healthy and confident in their action plan."

-Melissa Clark

"Elaina was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was open, non judgmental, and supportive of my unique breastfeeding journey. We can’t believe the progress we’ve made since beginning to see her; our goal was to reduce supplementation and we got there with her help. I couldn’t recommend her services enough to any new Mom. I only wish I would have reached out to her sooner. The Nest has been an invaluable resource for me and the fact that it’s covered through OHIP is just incredible. Thank you Elaina!!"

-Lia Mancuso

"Elaina helped me get my 5 week old to latch...Her energy is calm, compassionate and empathetic and was exactly what I needed after some not so positive experiences with other health care providers. She made me feel comfortable and encouraged me the perfect amount to get my little babe to latch. I would highly recommend her to anyone!"

-Laura Koza

"Elaina has been so wonderful to work with. My son and I came to her at about 4 weeks when I was pumping and supplementing with formula. She was so supportive and non-judgemental, which is not something I found with some other care providers. She has helped me so much to feel confident and comfortable about feeding my son with formula and has spent time answering the endless questions I have as a first time mom. I only wish we had visited The Nest sooner in our journey! Thanks Elaina!"

-Jordan Cauthers

I really want to thank Elaina and her team for all of their help to ensure my baby and I were able to comfortably continue breastfeeding.

I’m very thankful to have found her and so appreciative
