We saw Milly two weeks after we welcomed our baby, when I was feeling completely at a loss with breastfeeding and in the depths of combi feeding. Milly helped to put a programme in place with amazing tips along the way, and fantastic caring, clear support. I couldn't reccommend Milkystarts & Milly enough, I am now exclusively breastfeeding and Milly's help in the beginning of our breastfeeding journey made that possible. Thank you!

Our initial consultation with Milly was excellent and the follow-up help has been invaluable. Milly was kind, personable and understanding. She provided practical and very helpful tips on dealing with engorgement, feeding and expressing milk. She has been incredibly responsive and it's clear to see how much she cares about her clients. We highly recommend Milly to anyone who needs help with the breast feeding or milk expression.

I cannot recommend Milly enough! As a new mum, I was struggling with breastfeeding, following the cluster feeding phase as my breasts were sore. Milly’s support made all the difference. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate. From the moment I contacted her, she put me at ease and made me feel heard.Milly provided practical advice tailored to my baby’s needs and helped me overcome the challenges I was facing. She was always available to answer my questions and offered invaluable tips that made breastfeeding so much easier. Her expertise, combined with her calming and supportive approach, truly made a difference in our breastfeeding journey.Thanks to her guidance, I feel much more confident and my baby is thriving. If you’re looking for a lactation consultant who genuinely cares and offers top-notch support, Milly is the person to go to!

Milly has been fantastic. She gave me really useful guidance when I was pregnant and I saw her again when I needed some extra help when my baby arrived. Milly is really knowledgable as well as being super kind- I would have no hesitation in recommending her.

Milly’s help in our first few weeks was invaluable, we would have been lost without her. Milly helped us with early messages when still in hospital then visited us at home and answered all my questions. It was the best money we spent and we are so grateful!

Milly was so kind and reassuring. She gave me lots of useful advice and supported us in latching without shields. The ongoing support by WhatsApp for a few weeks was also really helpful to ask any further questions. Thank you so much for your help and support!

Milly was absolutely incredible! Upon sending a request late one night, she speedily responded and fit me in the next day. I felt so much more comfortable after spending an hour learning about different techniques to feed my son and how to feel more confident! It is great being able to communicate about anything for a period after our visit too!

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!

Milly was a fantastic help to us in the days after our baby was born. Her home visit was very helpful. Milly is calm, kind and very knowledgeable, with specific suggestions about everything related to feeding. Highly recommend

Milly was absolutely fantastic! She was instrumental in our breastfeeding journey and helped us completely turn things around after experiencing difficulty with feeding and discovering that our baby had been losing weight. Milly gave very hands on, clear advice about latching and feeding positions, with lots of patience to make sure I’d got it right during the consultation, as well as practical and tailored advice about pumps, expressing milk and giving top ups. She was incredibly kind, supportive and encouraging through what was a very challenging and emotional time for me. The two week messaging support is great - Milly even regularly checked in to see how things were going when I hadn’t messaged myself with specific questions. Couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you Milly!

I am so glad that I saw Milly in the second week of postpartum breastfeeding. She made time to see me straight away and helped to both ease my anxieties and offer advise on my latch technique. This helped to resolve the pain I was experiencing. She walked me through various breastfeeding positions and allowed me to ask as many questions as I needed including those around express pumping, milk supply and knowing if my baby was receiving everything she needed from me. In addition, I was able to contact her for up to two weeks and encouraged to send videos and pictures of the latch if I encountered any more pain during feeding. She was a huge support and the gentle reassurance I needed in that week. I highly recommend reaching out to her if you are in need of a lactation consultant.

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.

If you’re having feeding difficulties, baby weight gain issues or just needing some support, Milly is incredible.Our baby was struggling to gain weight. Milly spent time with us assessing our baby for any feeding barriers in the comfort of our home, she then supported us through the best way forward to increase my milk supply and also support our baby to gain weight. She also helped us navigate mixed breast/bottle feeding as it was my wish that my partner could be involved in feeds and give me some more rest.I can’t recommend Milly enough. She was a huge source of support through this difficult newborn period. I ended up extending WhatsApp support after the initial period, as she was able to help us navigate the changes and challenges of feeding day to day. I am now having a more positive breastfeeding experience and our baby is gaining weight and thriving. Thank you Milly, you completely turned our breastfeeding experience around and empowered us.

Milly is an excellent lactaction consultant, she helped me when my baby was 3 weeks old and was extremely kind and comforting. She created a plan for us and provided some great resources which helped so much! I would highly recommend Milly, the whatsapp support along the way is also incredible.

I saw Milly pre- and post-natally and she was incredibly supportive and helpful, and really got me off to a great start on my breastfeeding journey. As well as coming to my home very soon after the birth to help me work on my latch and different breastfeeding positions, she was super responsive and supportive via WhatsApp afterwards. Having someone to go to with my questions and worries was so important, and she was always really informative and reassuring. I would highly recommend her and think she's brilliant!!
