Kiran Hahn, RN, IBCLC

This review is long over due! I’m so glad I found Kiran. She helped me when my newborn was having latch issues, and then again when I was having supply issues. She is caring, professional, and thorough. She identified our issues and provided useful advice that helped my baby and I get through a tough and painful patch. 9 months later I am proud and happy to say we are still breastfeeding! Also, what sets her apart from every medical professional I’ve seen, she follows up with you by email after your office visit to review what you discussed in detail. This is sooooo helpful when you are sleep deprived and trying to jungle so many things with a new baby. I recommend Kiran a 1000x over.

I am a hospital Labor & Delivery nurse who teaches women how to breastfeed FOR A LIVING and I absolutely would have quit breastfeeding at week 3 if I hadn’t found Kirin at Austin Milk Made. Breastfeeding was surprisingly way harder, more complicated, more emotional and more confusing than I anticipated, even with preparation. I was overwhelmed, in pain, and exhausted. Every day I was telling myself I would quit tomorrow. The latch pain was more than making my toes curl. It was more painful than natural childbirth… and this had to happen every three hours! We were referred to Kirin by my midwife (Nurture) and got in that day. She got right to business — shirts off! We weighed baby before and after a supervised feed, did a pump session to estimate milk supply. Kirin gave lots of positive reinforcement and firm gentle guidance. She had answers to all my questions. I instantly felt like a weight was off my shoulders because a calm specialist was taking care of things. We dealt with mastitis and a clog in one breast, and nipple damage from poor latch in the other breast. I was not an easy patient. Oh also there was baby mouth yeast from the mastitis antibiotics. It was a mess. Kirin was nonplussed. I saw her three times and each time there was improvement, until finally there was complete success: a happy baby, a happy mom… and now here I am still breastfeeding at 13 months. I’m so thankful to Kirin because without her I would have quit and missed all the best parts of breastfeeding. It was very hard for a month, and then so easy I could breastfeed standing on my head. I refer all new moms I meet to Austin Milk Made for breastfeeding issues and recommend them very highly.
More: office is super cute and conventiently located. parking is easy. office is very stroller accessible. my insurance did not reimburse my visits but it was worth every penny. prompt with returning phone calls or texts with questions, very good with follow up to check in on their patients.

Kiran provided great help beyond the norm. She knew a lot about hormonal issues and other issues that often arise as mothers start to discuss weaning. I would recommend her for any lactation needs you might have!

If you are looking for a lactation consultant, look no further than Kiran Hahn. Kiran is knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging. I have used and known many other lactation consultants and have never had the positive experience I had with Kiran. My 7 week old daughter and I have been suffering with thrush for over a month and have seen more than one doctor for medication with no relief. Kiran was able to make more suggestions and help me come up with a new game plan for us. I highly recommend giving Kiran a call for all of your breastfeeding questions or issues.
