Breastfeeding Education & Support

Parents are often told that breastfeeding is 'best' for their newborn - that it is the 'natural' way to feed their baby.  This can lead to the assumption that it will just happen 'naturally'.

​

Unfortunately, this is rarely the case - the act of breastfeeding is a learnt skill, one that we no longer watch while growing up and so often don't fully understand what to do when it is our turn.  Misinformation and myths, coupled with lack of support and good education, can leave new parents feeling anxious and confused.

​

If you're pregnant, doing a breastfeeding class can help you prepare for what is to come.  If you have already given birth and are having issues I would love to help.

Breastfeeding Support

If you are currently struggling with breastfeeding - maybe you have been told you're not making enough milk, or baby is not latching - or maybe you just want some advice or reassurance, I would love to help you.

​

I am an IBCLC (the only formally recognised qualification for a 'lactation consultant') and endorsed midwife - this means I can provide antenatal and postnatal care with Medicare rebates up to 6 weeks post birth, order tests and prescribe medication, if needed. Breastfeeding support can continue up to any age.

 

I have worked in neonatal ICU since early 2007 (and continue to do shifts there) and private practice since 2018.  Breastfeeding support is my passion.
