Jolly Bugari, MPH Lactation Consultant

Jolly is the absolute best! I am a first-​time mom and Jolly helped me and my husband with our little girl. Jolly was our night nurse for a few nights a week for nearly three months. We were overwhelmed with everything and Jolly swooped in and eased our stress and anxiety. My husband and I refer to her as «Mary Poppins.» We couldn’t have asked for a warmer, more caring, qualified person to help with our baby. Our baby always had a huge smile every time Jolly arrived! As a lactation expert, she also helped me with breast feeding, pumping, and the mysteries of nursing. Not only is she great at her job, she is an exceptional person. We were lucky to be referred to her and so sad when it was time to let her go and fend for ourselves. If ever there is a baby #2, we will certainly contact Jolly again. A night nurse is definitely a luxury, but Jolly is reasonably priced and it is money well spent.

I was surprised Jolly didn’t have a Unilocal page so I decided to start one for her.
When I was pregnant, I underestimated the need for a lactation consultant. Someone referred Jolly to me and, as a first-​time mom, I put off making an appointment thinking I had too many other things to prepare for and I would eventually figure nursing out on my own.
When I gave birth to my daughter, the hospital had a lactation consultant visit from a nearby breastfeeding center to make sure I was on the right track so I never did make the call to Jolly. The next day, after returning home, I had major issues when my milk came in and I was in so much pain. I was desperate. In a panic I called the hospital consultant at the breastfeeding center. I told them I was in indescribable pain and they just told me the consultant would not be able to talk to me until our end of day appointment time. When we met, she was so impersonal, sat with me for one hour going through the motions of her job and gave some superficial tips on how to ease the bleeding and engorgement. She also sold me a few hydrogel-​pads and my total bill ended up costing over $ 250. Ultimately, none of the tips she gave me really worked. I ended up having two infections and went on two rounds of anti-​biotics.
Fed up, I decided to give Jolly a call and she was so caring and concerned I didn’t call sooner so she could help me. She spent over half an hour on the phone with me trying to give tips to help with the immediate issues and then drove to my home to meet me in person. Jolly was SO WONDERFUL and genuinely cared. I can’t describe how grateful I was for her and the wealth of knowledge and advice that she provided. I felt a little stupid I didn’t call sooner. In the end, when Jolly told me how much her one hour visit was (a house call too), I fell out of my seat. She was affordable and I was thinking I could see her again if needed and wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to afford it.
Since that meeting, I gave Jolly two more calls and she was readily available to give advice over the phone. I was so grateful and impressed with her, I have since referred her to many people.
Now, I am pregnant and in my third trimester with my second child. Without hesitation, I gave Jolly a call to set up a review appointment to go over anything I may have forgotten in two years after having my first child. She was, once again, so very helpful. Thank you very very much Jolly.
