Consultations

Breastfeeding consultations can take place in your home or in my home in South Dublin. Generally a consultation takes between 1.5 to 2 hours. We time the visit around a breastfeed so I can assess your babys latching, positioning and feeding. Read on »

Testimonials

E is now over 3 months old and has almost doubled his birth weight exclusively on breastfeeding!
