Latch & Attachment Problems
If feeding is painful, your baby is unsettled after feeds, or you’re concerned they’re not transferring milk effectively, these are all signs that the latch needs looking at. I’ll observe a feed, identify what’s happening, and show you how to correct it.
Low Milk Supply
Perceived low supply is one of the most common reasons mothers stop breastfeeding earlier than they’d like, and in many cases, supply is actually adequate. In others, there is a genuine supply issue that can be addressed.
Oversupply & Forceful Letdown
Too much milk causes its own set of problems. An unsettled, gassy baby, repeated blocked ducts, and mastitis. I can help you manage supply and get feeds more comfortable for both of you.
Tongue Tie Assessment & Referral
Tongue tie is one of the most commonly missed causes of breastfeeding difficulty, and one of the areas where getting an IBCLC assessment early makes the biggest difference. I’ll assess your baby’s tongue and lip function during a feed, and if a referral to a specialist is needed, I’ll connect you with the right provider.
Nipple Pain & Damage
Sore or cracked nipples are not something you just have to put up with. They’re almost always a sign that something needs adjusting, whether that’s attachment, oral anatomy, or an infection like thrush. I’ll identify the cause and give you a treatment plan.
Mastitis & Blocked Ducts
Mastitis needs prompt attention to prevent it from escalating. I can assess the severity, advise on management, and help you address the underlying cause so it doesn’t recur.
Returning to Work & Pumping
Going back to work doesn’t have to mean the end of breastfeeding. I can help you establish a pumping routine, assess your flange sizing, and work out a plan that fits your situation.
Unsettled or Fussy Baby
A baby who is unsettled, not gaining weight as expected, or hard to settle after feeds may have a feeding issue at the root of it. I’ll take a thorough look at the full picture.
