Breastfeeding harder than you expected? You're not alone.
Most mums who contact me are saying some version of the same thing:
"It hurts every time she latches and I'm dreading the next feed."
"I've had five different opinions and I don't know who to believe."
"I don't think he's getting enough. I'm second-guessing everything."
"My baby is so fussy and I'm exhausted trying to work out why."
What I Help With
I help you and your Bub grow together from the start
Hi, I'm Shona.
I'm an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) based on the Gold Coast. Over 15 years I've helped thousands of mums through the full range of breastfeeding challenges, from first-day latching problems in the hospital, to supply concerns at 6 weeks, to weaning at 18 months.
My approach is warm, practical, and evidence-based. I'll never tell you what you should do. I'll give you clear information, watch a feed with you, and help you find the approach that works for your baby and your life.
Hear From Mums I've Helped
I'm here to help make becoming a parent as smooth as it can be
Melissa M
My daughter began settling easily at the start of the night, waking only twice, and falling back to sleep almost straight away. Now we're both getting solid stretches of sleep, and I feel like myself again.
Emmanuelle
She made me feel truly seen and understood. I am forever grateful for Shona.
Sarah
Your help in the early months really helped us get through and though it took 6 months to get him to finally switch from bottles to only the breast I can finally say it was worth it.
Victoria
Breastfeeding without pain is something I didn't think was on the cards for me. But here we are!
Arri
We would not have had the feeding success we did without you and you played a major role in our breastfeeding journey.
Courtney
I can honestly say that I don't think I would have been able to breastfeed without your help. Especially with two premmie babies!
