Liz Farrant IBCLC - Lactation consultant, breastfeeding support

Just get booked in with Liz!Liz completely saved our breastfeeding journey: I went from a very low point, ready to give up breastfeeding, suffering badly with mastitis, pumping, pain, a baby not latching etc. to now exclusively breastfeeding without even thinking about it!No question is too small, Liz has such a vast range of knowledge, her suggestions and advice is always so helpful.Worth her weight in gold, she has been really amazing for me and my family and we cannot thank her enough x

Liz supported us with feeding our second baby, after a difficult feeding journey with our first. I cannot recommend Liz highly enough, she was incredibly knowledgeable, supportive and kind, and helped us navigate several issues along our feeding journey. We would not have managed to achieve our goal of exclusively breast feeding without her support.

Liz was absolutely wonderful. She provided a prompt professional and hugely supportive service. I don't know if I could have continued to breastfeed without her. She was highly recommended from every midwife I spoke too, as one of them said you can't get better than Liz"!"

Liz came to see myself and my daughter at 5 weeks. We had just moved, I was exclusively breastfeeding and struggling, with no real idea of how to get support in the area. Liz made me feel instantly at ease, completed a really thorough assessment and then provided practical advice as well as hands on assistance in positioning and attachment. She also provided signposting on local breastfeeding groups. We had a telephone call follow up a few days later to check how things we're going. We've just seen Liz again at 17 weeks for advice on positioning given baby has now grown and I've been finding it difficult to hold cross cradle position. Again Liz gave practical advice and helped us find what worked for us. I always feel so much more confident having seen her and would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone on their breastfeeding journey - I only wish we could have met her antenatally! Thanks so much

“Liz was an invaluable source of support for me during a very difficult phase of trouble with latching, engorgement, mastitis and nipple damage. After a week of struggling with my newborn I was seconds away from giving up entirely but after reaching out to Liz I finally felt confident and supported with my breastfeeding journey and after our initial consultation, regular communication via WhatsApp and a follow up review, my baby and I are finally on the right path. I am now able to latch my baby pain free, my engorgement has settled, my mastitis is under control and most importantly I feel confident and my baby has gained weight. Liz is extremely knowledgeable and experienced as both a professional and as a mum herself. She listens compassionately and offers sound, reliable, evidence-based advice. 100% recommended.”

I called Liz as I had been struggling with breast feeding and managing the best way to feed my newborn.Liz was incredibly kind, patient and knowledgeable. I loved that Liz’s focus was me and my family and what would work best for us. I had had a very negative experience with a health visitor and was feeling very vulnerable about my feeding choices. However, Liz approached our meeting without judgement and after just one session I felt so much more confident and at peace with breastfeeding.I just wish I had booked to meet her sooner!

I couldn’t recommend Liz enough. She has been such a huge support during our breastfeeding journey. Not only is her in person support invaluable her WhatsApp aftercare is also brilliant. Liz was able to provide me with support after her initial visit and this has continued throughout our breastfeeding journey. You can tell Liz really cares about all the women and families she supports as she regularly checks in and answers any questions you may have. Without Liz I don’t know if I’d still be breastfeeding and for that I am so grateful.

Liz’s advice and guidance was invaluable to us and helped us persevere with our breastfeeding journey. We had a bumpy start with the hospital introducing formula top ups at day 5 so we were on a mixed plan of breastfeeding and top ups. She was friendly and professional and it was so good to get some reassurance that we could progress to exclusively breastfeeding again. The follow up support for two weeks after the consultation was so helpful, we checked in with her regularly and she closely followed our progress. 7 months on and we are still exclusively breastfeeding, so happy the hard work paid off. Don’t hesitate to get help if you’re struggling.

I can’t recommend Liz highly enough. In the early days of Breastfeeding, my son really struggled to latch, which was causing a lot of pain and discomfort and me considering giving up Breastfeeding. Liz was recommended to me by a friend to help with this, and I could not believe how transformative her help was. After I had seen her, I was empowered with more practical knowledge about how to help my son latch, which made Breastfeeding significantly less painful and easier to cope with. The support she gave over the next few week was absolutely foundational and for us I believe without this help I would’ve given up Breastfeeding. She really encouraging and powered me in such a supportive way to be able to continue with my journey. We are now eight months into a breastfeeding journey , and I am sure that the help I had from Liz is a big part of why I’ve been able to carry on.
