Breastfeeding Consultation
Our consultants are dedicated to helping you identify and resolve any challenges you may face, such as a breastfeeding aversion, breast refusal, poor supply, lactose overload or any other difficulties associated with breastfeeding, ensuring that both you and your baby can enjoy a fulfilling breastfeeding experience. With personalized guidance, you will learn effective techniques to encourage your little one to embrace breastfeeding, fostering a strong bond between you. This invaluable knowledge not only enhances your confidence as a caregiver but also reassures you that you are meeting your baby's nutritional and emotional needs during this crucial stage of development. Cherish these precious moments together, knowing that you are equipped with the tools to nurture your baby's health and happiness.
Our comprehensive assessment provides a thorough evaluation of your child's growth and development. We take into account their medical and surgical history, along with any previous and current health advice from professionals. Our focus extends to physical health, developmental milestones, and genetic predispositions through family history, ensuring a holistic understanding of your baby's needs.
We also assess feeding history, equipment, and behaviors, as well as sleep patterns, to create a tailored plan that supports your child's well-being and growth.

The email review option offers clients a convenient daily check-in via email for the selected duration, ensuring they receive personalized feedback and guidance tailored to their unique needs.
Unless otherwise agreed to between yourself and your consultant at the time of your appointment, support days are to be used as follows:
· One email check in per day - for review of videos, feeding logs, overview of progress.
· must be used within a two week period following the date of your consultation; and,
· to be used as consecutive days.
· Support days are non-refundable.
If the support days are not used within the 2 week period, they will be forfeited. This is largely because our consultants restrict the number of consultations each day, to accommodate support for their clients and support time is allocated to each day. Only in the event that a consultation is cancelled will support be refunded.
Support days are to be used for the issue consultation is booked. If any new issues, a consultation for relevant issue will be required.

Breastfeeding Aversion Article
If your baby was previously a 'good breast-feeder’ but now gets upset and refuses to latch except when drowsy or asleep, it may be that he has developed a breastfeeding aversion. This common but often overlooked or misdiagnosed problem is as distressing for nursing mothers as it is for their babies.
Your baby's sudden refusal to breastfeed doesn't need to signal an end to your breastfeeding goals. A breastfeeding aversion can be resolved! The key to an effective solution is accurately identifying cause.
The power to fix your baby's feeding issues, lies in your hands. You just need to learn how. We have the knowledge and experience to guide you.
