Average caller rating

“I am very thankful for Pacify! It is an awesome service to be able to provide for our WIC clients. For clients in hospitals without IBCLCs or current available help, to the client who needs help in the middle of the night, or anytime, to have professional, at the touch of a phone, help available 24/7 is exactly what our clients need to protect and support breastfeeding.”

WIC STAFF

"She was very helpful and provided me with a lot of great information on how to boost my milk supply after I thought I’d give up on breastfeeding. She was also very encouraging and uplifting about my efforts & gave me facts to help me realistically manage my expectations without stress. She was great!”

MS WIC PARTICIPANT

"I think it is part of Gold Standard care. Thank you for providing it and may it continue!”

WIC Breastfeeding Coordinator

"This here is the best experience to have as a first time mother. Glad to know that when it’s late in the night we help that’s close by to help instead of going to the ER for every little thing. When just a simply helping hand is on stand by. Thanks!”

MS WIC Participant

"As a WIC Peer Counselor and CLC, I use Pacify as back up for questions I may have. How wonderful it is to be able to discuss a case with an IBCLC on the spot. I also use Pacify with the mother present so we all may talk and give further support and confirmation to the client.”

Qualitative research showed:
“Telelactation was convenient and efficient, provided a needed service in rural areas lacking breastfeeding support services, and increased maternal breastfeeding confidence. Telelactation was noted to have several advantages over in-person and telephone-based support.”
