Wendy Lever IBCLC

I would highly recommend Wendy as a holistic sleep coach and lactation consultant. She really knows her stuff, has a brilliant manner and strong empathy skills. We’ve utilised her several times and would definitely do so again.

Wendy came highly recommended to me by a close friend and following some challenges with latching my 2 week old newborn, my husband and I decided to reach out and book Wendy for lactation support. Suffice to say that we were blown away with the initial home visit alone - the tweaks and adjustments shown to me made such a positive difference, and today, breastfeeding is truly a joy for both of us!Wendy is very knowledgeable, always had an answer to all of my questions. She is very swift with her responses. Above all, she is very caring and empathetic. Every new challenge I experienced in those early weeks with my baby was treated by Wendy with so much attention; the service was beyond personal - it was exceptional. Her continued guidance was so reassuring during what can only be described as a difficult time for me.I am extremely glad we decided to book Wendy and am so grateful for her 'above & beyond' support.

Wendy was an invaluable support in my breastfeeding journey. She approaches her consultations completely judgment free, is a great listener, and tailored her advice to exactly what I needed on my own personal journey. My son was born very small (<4 lbs) and had trouble latching, but Wendy was able to help me find the best positions in order to make breastfeeding successful. I cannot recommend her more highly!

Wendy is an incredibly kind and patient person who tailors her advice for the individual. She has been such a support for me on my challenging breastfeeding journey and there really is no judgement, which is so refreshing. One thing that really makes Wendy stand out is her active listening to your problems and concerns and structured and bite sized plans. The follow up is amazing and she makes you feel like you are being supported all the way. I have also been in contact with her about infant sleep and holiday advice whilst breastfeeding and she has been so helpful.I very nearly gave up breastfeeding and 5weeks and after Wendy left our house that day we haven’t looked back, now only breastfeeding and no shields!Thank you so much for all you have done! I couldn’t recommend you highly enough to others.

I strongly recommend Wendy if you’re feeling stuck with night breastfeeds and looking for gentle help with baby’s sleep patterns that will still deliver impact at home without doing “sleep training”.When we had our call with Wendy I was feeling extremely fragile after several months of nights with up to 7 feeds. We are exclusively breastfeeding so I had been doing it all single handedly and my partner wanted to help but didn’t know how. Wendy’s settling technique got us both working together, consistently and confidently and now baby is able to go down without being fed-to-sleep and my partner is able to do this without me. We have a strategy to build upon for reducing night feeds and in the meantime we are now able to do daytime naps in the cot at home using the same settling method, which has meant I’ve been able to catch up on rest.At the time of the call I was not at all confident it would work, and felt that I would be speaking to Wendy again. I couldn’t imagine how to get my baby down without feeding to sleep. Wendy assured us that she thought we would manage it - and we have! It really has been a game changer. And with no tears from me (which is saying something!)

I found Wendy on the internet in November 2020 while looking for a IBCLC. I had been breastfeeding for 5 months and my baby was having weight problems. The advice I had been given from healthcare professionals was not great. Wendy came out and instantly diagnosed a small tongue tie that midwives had previously said baby didn’t have. She gave great advice and the follow up weekly online drop in clinics were great. I was able to drop in and ask questions at different stages -including when a HV recommended dropping breastfeeds at 9 months, which Wendy reassured me was not needed!My daughter is now 25 months old and we are still breastfeeding. She finds so much comfort in nursing.The biggest regret I have is not contacting Wendy in the first few weeks of baby’s life. Thank you Wendy!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wendy to anyone, whatever stage of feeding they were at. Due to health reasons, I needed to stop breastfeeding, and Wendy's compassionate, understanding and kind manner and expertise were invaluable as I began the difficult journey of winding down my milk supply. Wendy met me where I was at without judgement, and her continued support provided me with the space to process what I was going through. I am so much happier, and can now look after and feed my little one without pain. Thank you, Wendy!

Wendy visited me when my baby was just over a week old as she was having some issues with her weight. Wendy was very friendly and supportive and gave me lots of practical tips. She also followed up on email afterwards and was available for any questions for a month afterwards and which was really reassuring. I would definitely recommend Wendy for any feeding issues.

I cannot recommend Wendy’s services highly enough, I just wish we had found her sooner. She listens, understands and offers help, support and guidance with zero judgement and just kindness. Since my session and subsequent clinics with Wendy, my daughter and I can now feed in comfort in any location and circumstance which is worlds away from where we started and I was afraid to breastfeed due to the pain. If you are struggling in any way with feeding then you will certainly not regret contacting Wendy.

Wendy was just incredible. I left hospital unable to breastfeed, exclusively pumping and very overwhelmed. Wendy came for a home visit the following day, her calm and empathetic and understanding presence made me feel so comfortable. She amazingly got the baby to latch on the first attempt, gave me so much information which I recorded to watch back, and made sure I could do it alone before leaving. She helped me with a plan moving forward that was totally manageable and to help me regulate my supply. Wendy provides WhatsApp support in the month after which was so useful as I was getting used to it all and had lots of questions. I’m not sure what I would have done without her! 5 months on and I’m still breastfeeding and enjoying it. Thank you Wendy - you made such a wonderful difference. Can’t recommend enough.
