Milly is really lovely and really helped me with feeding in the early weeks while it was still quite painful. She offered useful tips and suggestions, and checked in regularly to see how things were going. A home visit was arranged quickly after we contacted her. Thank you so much for helping us on our feeding journey. Astro and Z 🙏
Milly was fantastic in supporting my breastfeeding journey! I managed to get an appointment with her within 24 hours, and she was so helpful and empathetic throughout the meeting, showing me new feeding positions and ways to latch. The 2 week messaging support she provides post-meeting was also really helpful - she often responds within hours! I cannot recommend Milly enough!
Highly recommend Milly! I managed to get an appointment the same day and she came to our house, I felt very comfortable with her helping me and my baby with achieving a good breastfeeding position and latch. Milly was very knowledgeable and with the new techniques I was shown I was able to successfully breastfeed my baby! She was also on hand via messaging for a further 2 weeks with any questions I had.
Milly was really helpful and supportive during a very difficult time. Would highly recommend her. The appointment was really helpful and the two weeks of ongoing support were great. She was quick to respond and offered great practical advice.
Milly was great! Very flexible and came out to see us very quickly. Gave great advice about feeding which really made a quick difference and gave first time mum confidence to carry on. Also very responsive on WhatsApp - always there to help with any questions. Thoroughly recommend.
Milly helped us successfully persevere with our hope to establish breastfeeding. We valued her pragmatic, professional and empathetic approach during those difficult few weeks. She provided wide-ranging useful advice and solutions. Thank you.
Milly offered such fantastic guidance and support when I needed it most. She was incredibly quick to respond, really kind and empathetic in her approach, and provided invaluable and clear steps for me to take. I only wish I had thought to contact Milly before giving birth so I could have been extra prepared. Would highly recommend!
Milly was so reassuring, she visited us on day 3 and gave me loads advice and recommendations which has boosted my confidence in breastfeeding. Her support over WhatsApp has also been so useful to stop the panicked worrying you are doing something wrong!
The time, input and support Milly gave us when our baby arrived was invaluable, I cannot recommend her enough. From birth I really struggled to get baby latch to feed and after a home visit this improved hugely by that same evening. The support following the visit has also been really key to consolidating initial progress. Millys kind and supportive approach was exactly what I needed as new mum. Thank you.
Milly has been utterly amazing at supporting my partner and I feeding our new son. We've had some struggles with my milk supply and she's helped guide us with mixed feeding. She's been Incredibly supportive and has gone above and beyond to give extra help after our initial visit. Would definitely recommend!!!
Milly was so brilliant with me. I was having issues with an over supply of milk which was exacerbating my baby's reflux. She was so calming and gave me achievable realistic and straightforward advice that really helped. My baby is now feeding very well and my supply has settled. I can't recommend Milly enough.
Milly was fantastic, after coming across her profile on Instagram, we quickly were able to schedule an at home visit in Walthamstow. We were looking for additional support in feeding positions and general advice as I had low confidence feeding following an emergency c section. Milly was brilliant supporting us in the session, enabling us to practice new positions and giving us really helpful advice on breast and bottle feeding and safe sleeping. She’s still supporting us via WhatsApp as we practice at home! We would highly recommend Milky Starts for your postpartum journey! Her rate is also competitive so don’t hesitate to book!
I messaged Milly (MilkyStarts) Thursday morning whilst in tears, I was feeling at a loss, trying to figure out next steps on breastfeeding my newborn after conflicting postpartum midwifery advice (which had felt rushed / by the book and chart based) for a baby that was slightly underweight. Milly was super timely responsive to my email and by next day we had our in person lactation consultancy together. The process for organising this was seamless and smooth.Milly’s clever expert advice and gentle demeanour, put me immediately at ease and calmed my inner anxiety that had been building and building. Her approach towards me and my baby was comforting and I could tell as a mother herself, she had in depth knowledge of my personal experience with feeding. She was able to answer all my questions with detail and openness. I feel every new mother should have a Milly on hand to guide them through the start of feeding (we also sought advice on how to bottle feed too). We are so grateful to have Milly for our journey of BF’ing our child. Thank you Milly 🤍🤍🤍
Brilliant experience with Milly. She made us feel so much more confident with breastfeeding and has been such a support on what’s app following the session itself. Would highly recommend 🙂
