Mo Brownlee Lactation Consultant
Expert Breastfeeding Support
Looking after your new baby is a full-time labour of love. Every mum wants the best for her child and how to feed your baby is one of the most important decisions you will make.
Breast milk is the reference food and nature’s plan for nourishing young humans. It provides optimal nutrition, and protection from infection and also reduces the likelihood of your baby developing chronic conditions such as diabetes and asthma.
Breastfeeding is good for your health too, reducing your chances of breast and ovarian cancer as well as helping you to lose that extra baby weight.
Sometimes however challenges do arise and, when breastfeeding is difficult or painful, you may feel despondent, frustrated or overwhelmed. This is when the more specialist help of a Lactation Consultant can be invaluable.
