Why Mother & Child:

Our lactation consultants are experienced International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC).

We can help you prepare for your baby’s first feed, support you during your breastfeeding journey and to discuss your breastfeeding concerns & questions. Breastfeeding your baby is one of the most natural and beautiful things you can imagine. To get off to a good start, our lactation consultation session can build your confidence and give you further knowledge about the whole process.

  • a previous difficult breastfeeding experience

  • breast surgery (enhancement or reduction)

  • multiple pregnancies
