Kerry Bassil Lactation Consultant IBCLC

Kerry was my savior! She is so knowledge and kind I felt at ease as soon as she stepped through the door. I couldn't recommend her enough! Thanks to Kerry I'm now 5 months in still breastfeeding and so pleased I found her support when I did

Kerry is so good at her job, it took my wife and I ober a month trying over and over again to her baby to latch and he was not interested. Kerry came to our house , analysed the baby's behavioir and body language and got him to start latching within 15min of the appointmemt. The rest of the time we just spend exploring different position. Since then, we have not given a bottle and baby is exclusively breastfed. I wish we did it sooner , it was a life changer for us. I would recommemd Kerry to anyone,she is kind, intelligent,calm and has a gift with understanding babies, naturally.

I am so grateful to have received support from Kerry. From the outset she had the perfect balance of professionalism with compassion and approachability – her empathy for my situation put me at ease immediately. Her plan was thorough and highly successful – thank you so much!

Having completely underestimated how hard breastfeeding is, I encountered a number of issues. I called Kerry as I was not confident about the advice I was getting from midwives and wanted a second opinion. It was the best decision I made. Kerry’s calm approach, thorough assessment and prompt referral meant that I continued with my breastfeeding journey when I was so close to giving up. Thank you Kerry! I could not have done this without your invaluable support.

I first met Kerry when I was at my most vulnerable and absolutely devastated with how the start of my breastfeeding journey was going. Kerry was so responsive, so caring and compassionate and her expert advice helped us deal with several issues including delayed milk production, low supply, a poor and painful latch, tongue tie and saw us go from essentially exclusively formula feeding at the outset, to combi-feeding, to exclusively breastfeeding from 7 weeks. We’re still going at almost 12 months! I’ll be forever grateful to Kerry for her incredible support.

We cannot thank and recommend Kerry enough. Our son was premature and in hospital for almost 3 months. On bringing him home, feeding went completely arie and we were mentally and emotionally broken. Contacting Kerry was the best thing we did. Not only did Kerry come to our home on a Sunday and stay far longer than the standard consultation length (she never once tried to rush us through), she listened, allowed us to cry and get everything off our chests, she helped us come up with a plan to move forward in a positive way and suggested a number of issues around feeding that had gone unnoticed at the hospital (all of which were subsequently confirmed by medical professionals). It may sound dramatic but Kerry honestly saved us at one of our lowest points and we will be forever grateful.

Kerry played a huge part in saving our breastfeeding journey. I contacted Kerry when my daughter was a few weeks old after having a particularly stressful and painful breastfeeding experience, and I was ready to give up. Straight away Kerry was extremely supportive over the phone and arranged to see us later that evening for a face to face consultation. Kerry was warm, compassionate and very knowledgeable. She helped with positioning to get a better Latch but also noticed that our daughter was likely to have a tongue tie (after being told by midwives that she didn't) and made a referral straight away. Kerry sent through a feeding plan quickly and was also available for us to contact for the rest of the week to discuss any further questions or difficulties we were having. I cannot recommend Kerry enough!

Kerry gave me invaluable help and guidance on my breastfeeding journey. I sought her help quite early on as feeding can be quite a mystery and I wasn’t sure I was doing it right, after Kerry’s visit I felt really confident and informed. Her feeding plan has been so useful and I refer to all the info she shared often. I will be recommending her service to all my pregnant friends!

Contacted Kerry when my son was a less than 2 weeks old due to some issues with plugged ducts. Kerry arranged to visit me the very next day. She was friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable. After her visit she was available to contact as needed but she was so helpful on the day that this wasn’t necessary and feeding is going well nearly 3 months on. Thank you Kerry ☺️

Kerry helped me navigate an incredibly tricky combination of issues I was having with breastfeeding. Her approach is so reassuring and the advice and guidance she has given me has been gamechanging. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing support with their feeding journey. I only wish I had contacted her earlier on rather than struggling for 5 weeks with very little tangible support! Thank you Kerry, you’re amazing!!
