Lactation consultant
A lactation consultant is a specialised healthcare professional who provides personalised support and guidance to breastfeeding mothers. A lactation consultant helps address challenges such as latching difficulties, milk supply concerns, pain during feeds, and infant feeding behaviours, ensuring both mother and baby are comfortable and supported.
We offer both antenatal and postnatal consultations with our experienced lactation consultant.
Antenatal consults prepare new parents by covering breastfeeding basics, anatomy and physiology, positioning, attachment, and what a “good latch” looks like. Our lactation consultant also provides guidance on alternative feeding methods, pumping, and ways to support both mother and baby’s wellbeing during the early postpartum weeks.
90 minute consult: $189.00
Postnatal consults with our lactation consultant are designed for mothers seeking support, encouragement, and practical strategies to navigate breastfeeding challenges. These may include:
-Nipple pain

Our lactation consultant takes a holistic approach, supporting the mother-baby dyad to develop an effective, sustainable feeding plan tailored to individual needs.
