Infant Feeding Support
I am an experienced breastfeeding specialist and IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) supporting clients throughout London to reach their infant feeding goals. I have been volunteering with Kingston Hospital's Infant Feeding Clinic since summer 2021 and I also work with Chelsea Westminster Hospital's Infant Feeding Team and Community Midwives.
​
I provide accurate, current and evidence-based information about infant feeding and lactation to the families I support.
​
I follow up with all my consultations with an extensive written list of links to trusted sources on topics we discussed. I offer ongoing support over whatsapp after a consultation, and offer follow up consultations at a reduced client fee.
​
Studies indicate that 80% of women give up breastfeeding before they actually want to. This comes down to a multitude of reasons, such as lack of skilled support, pressure from friends/family, misinformation from providers or others, and a lack of understanding of how breastmilk production and milk supply work. I will answer your questions, provide education on lactation, offer advice and tips to both parents on how to position you and your baby to optimise a deep, and thus pain free latch, so that feeding is enjoyable, relaxing and fulfilling.
​
I support the parent's choice, and I will do my best to help them reflect on what is right for them, their baby, and their family.
