Consultations
Achieve your own breastfeeding goals with personalised, compassionate lactation support delivered online or in person. Just you and your baby, me and whoever else you’d like there with you.
Breastfeeding can be really hard but you don’t need to feel alone. My consultations are a safe, respectful space to help you work through specific concerns which may be impacting your breastfeeding journey.
I use my professional experience as a lactation consultant and former paediatric nurse, as well as my journey as a mother of 5 children, to guide you through a sea of information, building your confidence that all is well and helping you make the right choices for your family.
Reasons you may want to book a consultation:
- You’re experiencing painful sore nipples, blocked ducts, mastitis or breast pain
- You’re worried about your baby’s weight gain and/or have been told to supplement with formula
- You’re anxious because of a bad breastfeeding experience in the past
- You want to know how your health issues such as diabetes might affect breastfeeding
- You’re worried whether you can breastfeed, for example, if you have inverted nipples or if you have enough milk
- You’ve concerns over tongue-tie (assessment, referral and help with breastfeeding)
- You baby has had a tongue-tie release and things have not got better
- You’re nursing twins, triplets, or more babies or your baby was both early
- You need help with pumping; picking a pump, bottle feeding a breastfed baby and storing milk, returning to work and fitting pumping and feeding into your routine
- You want to stop breastfeeding and would like help making a plan for this.
