Breastfeeding Support
I provide compassionate, non-judgmental, and holistic breastfeeding support to parents. Whether you are a first-time parent or this is a second or subsequent baby, I understand that breastfeeding can sometimes feel challenging, and I am here to guide and empower you through every step of your journey.
Breastfeeding is a beautiful yet complex experience that can be both rewarding and difficult. As a certified breastfeeding counsellor, I am here to provide you with the support, knowledge, and confidence you need, without any pressure or judgment. My holistic approach recognises that every parent and baby dyad are unique, and I tailor my support to your specific needs, circumstances, and goals.
What I Offer:
-
Antenatal Lactation Education - I believe that informed parents are empowered parents. I provide evidence-based information on all aspects of breastfeeding, including anatomy and physiology, breast milk composition, and infant feeding cues. Knowledge is key to building your confidence and helping you make informed decisions, should any challenges crop up once your baby arrives.
-
One-to-One Breastfeeding Support - bespoke consultations where I will assess your breastfeeding concerns, observe you and your baby feeding, suggest ways to improve any issues, and help you create a plan that works for you and your baby. Whether you're struggling with latching issues, low milk supply, nipple pain, or any other breastfeeding challenge, I’m here to support you with practical advice and emotional reassurance.
-
Postnatal Support - adjusting to life after birth can be overwhelming. I help you navigate breastfeeding in the early days and weeks, offering tips on positioning, establishing milk supply, and managing common difficulties like engorgement or sore nipples. My support helps reduce stress and fosters confidence in your feeding journey.
-
Breastfeeding After Returning to Work - returning to work after maternity leave can present new challenges in maintaining breastfeeding. I offer strategies for managing pumping, storing milk, and balancing work with feeding, so you can continue to provide breast milk for your baby with ease.
Holistic Approach, Non-Judgmental & Empathetic Care
I take the time to understand you and your family as a whole. My support extends beyond just feeding techniques. I consider your emotional well-being, physical health, family dynamics, and lifestyle to provide holistic, integrated care that fits your needs.
I understand that every family’s breastfeeding journey is different. Whether you are exclusively breastfeeding, supplementing with formula, or facing difficulties that require a combination of feeding methods, I provide a supportive environment free from judgment. Your choices are respected, and I focus on what works best for you and your family.
Options:
-
Home Visits
I offer private, face-to-face sessions in your own home (subject to location). These consultations are ideal for addressing specific concerns, hands on support with adjusting latching and positioning, and creating a personalised action plan.
-
Virtual Consultations
I also provide virtual breastfeeding counselling, making it easier for you to access expert support from the comfort of your own home. My online consultations are just as thorough and supportive as in-person sessions.
-
Phone Support
If you need immediate advice or guidance, I offer phone consultations to answer any urgent breastfeeding questions or concerns.
