Breastfeeding services
Our services encompass comprehensive lactation consultancy, addressing a range of breastfeeding concerns, from prenatal education classes including establishing breastfeeding, managing blocked ducts and overcoming mastitis right through to weaning your baby. We understand that each family's needs are distinct, and we're committed to providing in-person support that's as individual as you are.
If you aren't sure exactly what you need or if you'd like to discuss a custom package, book a free consultation with me to discuss how I can help.

Breastfeeding shouldn't be painful; however, there may be some initial discomfort. A proper latch, with the baby's mouth on the areola, ensures effective milk flow and transfer. Incorrect latching, such as on the nipple, can cause pain and hinder milk production. If experiencing pain, consult a lactation consultant or OB-GYN for guidance.
There are many ‘methods’ of sleep coaching, and it’s fair to say that there is no ‘one size fits all’ strategy.

The World Health Organisation recommends exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months, followed by breastfeeding alongside solids until 2 years or longer, if desired. Breastfeeding can continue for as long as Mum and baby are happy doing so. If supplementing with formula, consult your paediatrician.

Most mums produce enough breast milk to exclusively feed their baby for as long as they want to. Breastfeeding immediately after birth boosts milk production. At the start, newborns need 1 teaspoon of milk each feed, doubling daily. Milk production increases to meet demand; as breastfeeding frequency decreases, milk production naturally tapers off. As a general rule, if baby is alert, waking for feeds and having at least 5 wet/3 dirty nappies (6 wet for cloth nappies) per day, they are receiving enough milk. If in any doubt about your baby's health, immediately contact your paediatrician.

Yes, this is called Colostrum and is rich ininfection-fighting and good gut flora properties. Mums typically produce drops to teaspoons of colostrum in the first days, turning to cloudy white milk by the second week. Colostrum is all your baby needs, as it is rich in nutrients and calories. It’s often called ‘liquid gold’ due to these properties.
