Frequently Asked Questions

How do you breastfeed?

Whilst breastfeeding is a natural process it can time and practise to get the hang of it. Make sure you are sitting comfortably and that you are holding your baby close to you; their body should be facing your chest. Position your baby so that their nose is in line with your nipple. Wait for them to open their mouth wide and guide them to your breast with their chin leading. They should have a large chunk of your breast tissue in their mouth. If you are unsure about your technique, please reach out to me and I can help.

See what families have said about Milly

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for everything you did for us. We are so appreciative of your care, kindness and total professionalism

Milly was so incredibly helpful and reassuring. We were SO lucky to have her

Thank you so much Milly, you have been incredible. I appreciate your support and encouragement more than you'll ever know

Milly's attitude was so reassuring and positive and filled me with confidence. I would really recommend a consultation with Milly especially if you are unsure about whether you want to breastfeed

Milly watched me feed my baby and advised for a better position, better latch and advised on small changes like squeezing my breast. Her advice changed completely my experience around breastfeeding. Milly has been available on whatsapp since I saw her with extra advice and support, which has made me feel much less lonely. I would call Milly back any time.

Milly was so helpful and reassuring in the lead up to my birth. Being a midwife meant she has that additional skill to put me at ease with any questions I had. I felt completely at ease and would recommend her to anyone starting a breastfeeding journey!

I felt like I was getting stuck , with my milk supply, right advice and guidance from Milly, I feel more confident and seeing improvement on milk supply already.

Awesome lactation consultant!

We have a happy little bubs now who is thriving! You made us feel very comfortable and were so reassuring. Thank you so much, Milly 🙂

Milly is highly helpful and always there for advice whenever you need and whatever the time, even after a visit session! Definitely recommend 🙂
