Lactation Support

Lactation Support

Gentle, practical help for every stage of your breastfeeding journey.

Breastfeeding can be a beautiful and bonding experience—but it doesn’t always come easy. Whether you’re a first-time mom or navigating new challenges with your baby, I offer personalised lactation support to help you feel more confident, informed, and supported.

How I Can Help

As a South African Certified Lactation Consultant, I provide one-on-one support for a wide range of breastfeeding concerns. Whether you’re preparing during pregnancy or working through challenges after birth, I’m here to offer practical, personalised guidance every step of the way.

Support includes help with:

  • Sore, cracked, or painful nipples

  • Milk supply issues—low supply or oversupply

  • Breastfeeding positions and latch problems

  • Baby refusing the breast or struggling to suck

  • Slow weight gain in baby

  • Pumping or expressing breast milk

  • Breast pump support and setup

  • Engorgement, plugged ducts, or mastitis

  • Planning your return to work while continuing to breastfeed

Every consultation includes a thorough assessment, personalised advice, and realistic solutions that fit your routine. Whether you need just one session or ongoing support, I’ll meet you where you are—with care, honesty, and reassurance.

If you’re experiencing something not listed above, you’re welcome to get in touch—I’m here to help.

Kind, Non-Judgemental Support

Breastfeeding looks different for every mom and baby. My goal is to support your choices, help you reach your feeding goals, and make sure you feel seen and supported—without pressure or guilt.

What to Expect

During a lactation consultation, we’ll go over your concerns, your baby’s feeding patterns, and any challenges you’re experiencing. I’ll observe a feed (if needed), answer your questions, and help you with simple, effective techniques to improve your experience.

Sessions are available in person or online depending on what’s easiest for you.
