Feeding & Lactation Consultation (IBCLC)

As an IBCLC and experienced Paediatric/NICU Nurse, I provide compassionate, evidence-based support for all infant feeding journeys. Whether you’re breastfeeding, expressing, bottle feeding, or navigating challenges like low supply, nipple pain, or bottle refusal, I offer personalised guidance tailored to your family’s goals. Together, we’ll create a plan that feels clear, confident, and right for you and your baby.
