What others are saying about Norma

"Thank you for being such a wonderful resource. Having your guidance on the front end really gave me the confidence I needed to stick with it."
- Anna's Mommy

"Thanks for being so kind and helpful at a time when things seemed hopeless to me. When I was wondering if my baby really had enough milk or not, and I was almost ready to break open the formula samples from the hospital, your encouragement stopped me and helped me to go on." 
- Jacob's Mommy

"Daniel is 10 months old (chronological age) and is still going on strong at the breast. Thank you so much for all your assistance during the most challenging times of our lives."
- Daniel's Mommy

"The hospital IBCLC and LCs and our former pediatrician led us to believe our daughter did not have tongue or lip ties. After pumping and bottle feeding for two months, we went to Norma. I can't thank you enough for noticing her ties, sending us to Dr. Kotlow, and helping us after the revisions. We are almost at one year! Thank you!"
 - Adalyn's Mommy

"Thanks to Norma Woolf Ritter at 6 weeks my bf journey finally became enjoyable. No one thought there was a lip/tongue tie issue and low and behold..."
 - Bonnie Ann on Facebook

"Thank you so much! I'm already so much happier breastfeeding Maxwell! I can't even begin to convey how grateful I am for the time you spent with us. I learned so much and wish I had known to see you much sooner!"
 - Maxwell's Mommy

"So glad we were able to meet yesterday. You were extremely helpful to me and Danica! I have talked to my husband and spoken with many women who have dealt with tongue/lip tie issues. I appreciate all the information you provided in the email-- it was a nice reiteration of knowledge you shared with us."
 - Danica's Mommy

"I attended Norma's latch presentation at the Baltimore Leader Development Seminar, and I immediately loved her so much that I determined right then and there to be a Leader for the rest of my life. I knew I'd laugh and be inspired all over again, so I signed up for a second go here in Albany. I wasn't disappointed! With her trademark humor, Norma reminded us how smart babies are when we let them run the show. It was fun to realize that 90% of what I tell a new mother about latch even all these years later comes right from Norma's excellent examples . . . and I got a new tidbit today about using the breast to encourage the baby to open wide ~ assuring a deep latch and positioning the nipple perfectly in baby's mouth. Thanks, Norma, for another wonderful session, and for continuing to offer your gifts to La Leche League!"
- Susan Leibman, IBCLC, Maryland

"I highly recommend this seminar to everybody who assists breastfeeding mothers. I was able to start using these counseling techniques with my very next client, and they helped me get quickly to the root of her concerns."
