Personalised Lactation Support
Gold Coast IBCLC Services for Every Stage
For Newborn Babies
Newborn babies present breastfeeding challenges for both first-time mums and seasoned mums because every baby is different! If you're struggling in any way, I can help you, including with:
-
difficulty latching (positioning and attaching)
-
colic/reflux/unsettled babies
-
tongue ties and lip ties
-
concerns about growth/weight gain
-
breast refusal or fussiness
-
use of nipple shields
-
expressing/pumping
-
mixed feeding methods
For Mums
If your birth experience was less than ideal, you have underlying health issues or you don’t feel ‘right’ breastfeeding, I can help you find your happy feed! If you experience any of the following, please get in touch:
-
sore/cracked nipples
-
painful breastfeeding
-
mastitis, breast inflammation (blocked ducts) or breast pain
-
low milk supply or oversupply
-
breastfeeding after breast reduction or augmentation (breast implants)
-
relactation or inducing lactation
As Baby Grows
As your baby grows, your breastfeeding journey will evolve and new challenges may present themselves. Even if you’ve had a great start to breastfeeding, issues can arise that are confusing or that you'd like support with. I can help you navigate through your options when it comes to:
baby sleep issues
changes to feeding patterns
concerns about growth/weight gain
expressing/pumping
mixed feeding methods
returning to work/study while breastfeeding
weaning/stopping breastfeeding gently
breastfeeding past 1 year
tandem feeding (when a new baby comes along)
