Caring, Evidence-Based Breastfeeding Support
Low supply?
Nipples on fire?
Breastfeeding and you just not working out?
Let me help.
As a mum of two little ones, I know in my bones why breastfeeding is so important to you. I provide breastfeeding support that is evidence based but also understands your values.
I’m both a doctor and an NDC (Possums) practitioner, so I can assess both you and bub for any medical problems impacting breastfeeding, but also help you fix that latch (in NDC we call it ‘fit and hold’).
In your 60 minute breastfeeding support consultation, I will:
Take a full history of you, your baby and your breastfeeding journey so far
Examine you and your baby
Observe a breastfeed, applying the NDC ‘gestalt method’ to help with any problems you may be having
Diagnose your breastfeeding issues, including any related medical problems
Provide you with a comprehensive plan to improve things
Common issues we can address in your consultation:
Low supply
Breast and nipple pain and damage
Slow weight gain
Tongue tie / lip tie
Cow’s milk protein allergy / intolerance
Fussing at the breast and breast aversion
“How do I get out of triple-feeding hell?”
