We know that sometimes, ones' breastfeeding journey isn't always easy or straight-forward. Even if babies feed well for the first day or two, challenges can arise at any time.
Teena understood the need for evidence based breastfeeding support and as a Qualified Lactation Consultant, she can support you from planning in pregnancy to supporting you when baby arrives and commences feeding. Having the person that knows you and your baby so well already, means a quicker response and solution to any feeding issues.
If you haven't had Teena as your midwife and are looking for a lactation consultant, please contact her on the details below. Teena is passionate about women receiving evidence based consistent information throughout their feeding journey so women and babies can thrive, feel confident and enjoy this time. She would love to see you for a consultation to help.
In-home, qualified breastfeeding support
First hours and days
Even if you have attended classes and learned about breastfeeding, feeding in the first day can be different from what you expect. Breastfeeding in the days and weeks that follow will change as you and your baby learn and grow together. Having skin-to-skin contact with your baby can make it easier for them to attach to your breast.
Qualified Support
Teena is a qualified IBCLC (International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant) with 20 years of experience supporting women to feed, as well as breastfeeding her own children. She can provide support and guidance for you on your feeding journey. From those post birth feeds to the following weeks, any issues that arise can be assisted with her wealth of knowledge, care and passion for individualised care.
Collaboration
While supporting you through your feeding journey, Teena is also able to refer to other professionals in the field of infant chiropractic care, tongue-tie assessment and release, ABA (Australia Breastfeeding Association), and more. Ensuring you have a community of support around you and your family.
