I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) – this credential is the highest-regarded professional qualification in breastfeeding knowledge and support, recognised all over the world.
I have over 10 years’ experience of providing breastfeeding support to countless families as NHS midwife, private lactation consultant and in my free Newborn group, as well as having breastfed my own two babies. I feel passionate about supporting you in achieving your feeding goals in a gentle and calm way.
Breastfeeding Support
BY IBCLC LACTATION CONSULTANT & MIDWIFE
IN A CLINIC OR THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME
Breastfeeding and postnatal support in my Wymondham clinic or in your own home (Norfolk and Suffolk).
Are you struggling with breastfeeding, sore nipples or is breastfeeding not going as well as you hoped? Or is your baby not gaining weight, sustaining the latch or latching on well in the first place? Do you need support with weaning from nipple shields, have milk oversupply or is your baby suffering with excessive wind or colicky behaviour? Or do you have any other feeding concerns?
I offer gentle support in my Wymondham clinic or in the comfort of your own home. Some of my clients even book me to come and give them breastfeeding support in the hospital, before they get discharged home. I can help with positioning and attachment to help your feeds become more comfortable and to maximise the amount of milk your baby gets during the feeds, help you explore different feeding positions, give advice on combi feeding or help you work towards exclusive breastfeeding, give advice about increasing your milk supply or managing an oversupply, assess your baby for tongue tie and make a tongue tie referral, weigh your baby, offer advice about relactation or suggest tips on settling your baby and more.

PLEASE GET IN TOUCH FOR A CONSULTATION
If you feel that you would benefit from my support, contact me today and we can chat about your needs. I can often offer same day or short notice appointments. The best way to contact me to enquire or book a home visit is to either email me or call/ send a text or a WhatsApp message (if I can’t answer the phone because I’m working clinically, leave me a message and I will contact you as soon as I can).
For urgent breastfeeding support (i.e. severe nipple pain or excessive weight loss in baby) please call or message me on 07579 825552 or email (I aim to see urgent cases within 48hrs, but sometimes it might be able to offer a same day appointment).
What clients say...
"Absolutely first class support. Truly wonderful experience with Andrea. I would always recommend her to any new parents who need help with nursing, so nice to have the help in your own home, one-to-one. It’s a calm, peaceful and just a more natural experience. Andrea had our son, who wouldn’t previously latch or suck, feeding from mummy within the first session so definitely money well spent to get some amazing help with no interruption. Thank you so much!"
