How It Works




The early days with a newborn can be very intense and many mums experience problems with breastfeeding which can bring up all sorts of emotions.

Breastfeeding is a learnt skill and both mothers and babies learn their way around a combination of anatomy, temperament and external circumstances which are always unique to the individual mum and baby.

I am here to help you negotiate these raw and tender times by listening to you and working out what is important to you.

Sometimes breastfeeding is off to a good start but you find yourself in a baby feeding funk later on or you are still stuck with trying to establish breastfeeding.

In any case we will try our best to get to the bottom of what is going on and then together we will make a plan so you can move forward with confidence.




Some of things I can help with, in no particular order:

  • Helping you latch baby and establish breastfeeding and making sure that you are comfortable and baby is getting plenty of milk
  • Topping up, combi feeding and triple feeding. Feeding plans and finding a way that works for you and your family
  • Pain and sore and damaged nipples
  • Breast conditions such as engorgement, blocked ducts, mastitis etc
  • Concerns about your milk supply
  • Slow weight gain and faltering growth
  • How to get more milk when expressing, introducing a bottle and/or formula and working out what works for you
  • Transitioning from the bottle to breast and vice versa
  • Feeding with nipple shields and how to wean baby off them
  • Breastfeeding premature babies and babies with additional needs
  • Breastfeeding twins
  • Fussiness, breast refusal and nursing strikes
  • Introducing solids and going back to work
  • Supporting you when you want to stop
