Feeding Support

Hi, I'm Rebecca- your dedicated Lactation Consultant.

As an IBCLC Lactation Consultant, I’ve supported over 2000 families with feeding in London since 2015. Over the years, I’ve provided assistance on a huge variety of feeding challenges. I can provide support for breastfeeding, mixed feeding, formula feeding or exclusively pumping, and I will NEVER judge you on your feeding choices

I am temporarily only covering postcodes N, NE, E, SE, IG, RM and CM (within 8 miles of IG5)

HOW IT WORKS:

Struggling with feeding?

During a typical home consultation, I take a full clinical history, including the birth, debrief on your feeding journey so far and observing a feed.

We can work to improve any latch or bottle feeding issues. I can also weigh the baby, if necessary.

I can do a full oral and suck assessment for your baby and give you oral exercises to do after (if indicated)

I am a Flange Fit specialist and have pretty much every size and shape of flange in existence. I can support you to find the best breast pump flange size or insert to maximise your milk supply and comfort (additional add on fee)

Feeding journeys are often a work in progress, and my visit may not be an instant fix. I understand that these things take time, so I offer ongoing practical and emotional support for up to two weeks after my visit- at no extra cost.

Together, we’ll formulate a plan for moving forward.
