Feeding support for you and your baby
Individual IBCLC consultations in your home or online.
Feeding your baby shouldn’t leave you constantly wondering if you’re getting it right.
Whether breastfeeding is painful, feeds feel unsettled, you’re worried about milk supply or weight gain, or you simply need someone experienced to look at the whole picture, I can help you understand what is happening and we can work out your next steps..
I provide individual feeding consultations for mothers and babies from the early days onwards, bringing together lactation physiology, newborn behaviour and your baby’s individual feeding and growth history.
-
Feeding is painful or your nipples are damaged
You’re unsure whether your baby is attaching or transferring milk effectively
You’re worried about milk supply
Your baby is sleepy, unsettled or feeding very frequently
Weight gain or weight loss has raised concerns
You are navigating pumping, bottles or supplementation
You have been given conflicting feeding advice
Feeding simply doesn’t feel right and you want an experienced assessment
-
Rather than looking at one part of the feed in isolation, we look at you and your baby together.
Depending on your individual circumstances, your consultation may include as assessment of:
Your pregnancy, birth and feeding history
Your baby’s feeding behaviour and patterns
Breast and nipple health
Positioning and latch support
Milk supply
Infant weight and growth assessment
Pumping, supplementation or bottle feeding
Newborn behaviour
A clear plan for what to focus on next
You’ll leave understanding what I’m seeing, what matters most right now, and what you can do next.
If something requires assessment or care outside my scope, I’ll also explain when to involve your GP, paediatrician, or another appropriate health professional.
