Milk and Nurture - IBCLC Lactation Consultant

Any new mum or mum to be who is considering breastfeeding, I have already started to point them in the direction of Caroline. I think it is so beneficial to have a skilled professional can guide and support you through your breastfeeding journey, and Caroline is exactly that!I had been breastfeeding for 6 months but had some concerns about weight gain. I sought out Caroline after a recommendation and I am so glad that I did.From our at home consultation, I have felt more empowered and confident with feeding, with Caroline's reassurance and professional input. We checked positioning, latch, expressing, and everything in between.Would recommend Caroline and her expertise to anyone who is planning to breastfeed or feels they need that extra help. She is an invaluable resource and support, definitely book in with her!

After a difficult time trying to breastfeed my eldest, I reached out to Caroline for a newborn settling session at my house when my second baby was 2 weeks old and I was having problems again. Caroline really understood how I felt and her advice throughout was mindful of my previous experience with realistic plan set up to help me feed my baby.Caroline explained everything clearly and gave evidence-based guidance, summing up/reiterating the techniques/plan etc throughout (very helpful for a tired and emotional mum trying to take it all in).It was incredibly helpful, both in a practical and emotional sense. Caroline's breadth of advice including pumping, positioning, best bottle feeding technique, etc has made such a difference to my breastfeeding experience, improving my supply and helping my baby spend more time at the breast while also being well fed. I didn't anticipate just how relaxing having proper lactation support has been - I no longer feel stressed or the need to trawl Google and try and figure out what's best by myself; instead I've just been able to completely trust in the support I've been given which has been invaluable from a mental health point of view.The aftercare has also been incredible; Caroline is so responsive to emails/Whatsapps and has spent so much time answering questions and providing a full report on the session and the plan going forward. I highly, highly recommend reaching out to Caroline for feeding support.

Caroline was a life saver at the beginning of my breastfeeding journey! I had been given so much conflicting information about breastfeeding and my had no idea what I was doing. My little ones weight was up and down and I felt I needed someone to give me solid information about how to make sure he was feeding properly and look at latches and just provide me with as much information as possible to give me and little one the best start in our journey.Caroline done this and lots more. She honestly is so knowledgeable and I now feel confident in feeding my little oneThanks again ❤️

Caroline is such a reassuring and positive person to seek help from. We visited her calm and relaxing space at her home and were able to get 1:1 support with our latch. We also received practical baby massage tips and a full report after the visit with recommendations on what to do next. Would recommend visiting at whatever stage of your breastfeeding journey (we're 13 weeks in!)

3 weeks into my BF journey and I was experiencing significant pain whilst feeding, and having used other aids (shields, covers, hot/cold compresses and creams) the pain persisted and didn't seem to be getting any better. In just one visit Caroline helped coach me and with a few adjustments to my technique I was instantly feeling less pain. A few days later and with more practice my BF journey is getting better and better. I haven't needed to use the shields since. I was so close to giving up but now I am looking forward to feeding my boy and I know I'm going to love every minute of it. If you're on the fence about getting a home consult don't be, I spent so much money on other fixes but nothing compares to having proper technique, and having an expert coach you is invaluable.

I was looking for some breastfeeding support after encountering some problems and pain whilst feeding my 3 month old. I had previously had lots of conflicting advice that left me confused.As soon as I met Caroline I felt at ease and knew I’d found someone that could definitely help. Caroline has incredible knowledge and was able to help me and my little boy so much.We had a 1:1 consultation at our home and both myself and my husband were delighted. We had all our questions answered and our latch sorted. The results is happy little boy who feeds nicely.I would highly recommend Caroline her breastfeeding knowledge is next level and it’s exactly the support any new mum needs to support their feeding journey.

My hubby and I attended Caroline’s workshop today to prepare us for baby no.1 coming on 1st June. Before the session we knew very little indeed about breastfeeding and were pretty apprehensive about it all. 4 hours in our small intimate group, with three other sets of parents, has given us much valuable knowledge and confidence. We could really tell Caroline is passionate about and loves what she does. We’d highly recommend Caroline to all parents to be. We feel so much better now, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book a 121 session if we need to once baby arrives. 10/10!
