Schedule Appointment
December 14th 2021 – Due to other commitments I will not be providing online lactation consults until early January 2022.
At the current time I am offering my all consults and classes online. To book a consult please click on the link above.
I offer a kind compassionate service which is based around your breastfeeding goals (not mine). At the end of the consult you will get a written plan of what we have changed and my breastfeeding booklet. One consult is generally enough to sort most problems with follow up by phone/email afterwards.
Tongue Tie Assessment and Referral/ Help with Breastfeeding: I have extensive professional and personal experience of tongue tie and its impact on breastfeeding. I can assess for all types of tongue tie in babies although this can be limited in online consults and can send a referral to a medical practitioner for division.
Other reasons might you need a consult?
- Sometimes just for your own confidence to check all is well.
- Breastfeeding did not go well on a previous baby.
- You want to understand your baby and breastfeeding more completely.
- You have health issues such as diabetes, depression, asthma and are worried about how it might affect breastfeeding.
- You have inverted nipples, asymmetrical breasts or hypoplasia of the breasts.
- You have painful sore nipples.
- You have blocked ducts, mastitis, breast pain while nursing.
- Your baby has trouble latching and comes off the breast during feeds frequently.
- You suspect your baby might have a tongue tie.
- You are concerned you do not have enough milk.
- You have been told to supplement with formula.
- There are concerns about your baby’s weight gain (if your baby is not gaining an average 6oz /180 grams per week in the first few months, you may benefit from a consult).
- You are nursing twins, triplets or more babies.
- Your baby is born early either preterm or near term ( 35-38 weeks) and you wish to directly breastfeed.
