My name is Nicola O'Byrne. I'm a Lactation Consultant (I.B.C.L.C), neonatal/paediatric nurse and mother of four.
I provide practical help and advice with breastfeeding concerns in your own home, immediately after birth or at any stage. It can be a very anxious time for new parents getting breastfeeding established, sometimes all that's needed is a few small changes and lots of encouragement!

When breastfeeding is established it can be a very satisfying experience for mother and baby. It gives your baby a great start in life and has added health benefits for you too.

I have been working with mothers and babies for over 19 years. As a nurse I worked in the neonatal unit of one of Dublin's leading maternity hospitals. During this time, I helped lots of mothers to establish effective breastfeeding with both fullterm and preterm babies. After the birth of my first child , I trained as a breastfeeding counsellor with Cuidiu -Irish Childbirth Trust and have hosted breastfeeding support mornings and provided individual counselling to breastfeeding mothers.
