Lactation Consultant
Lactation Consultants use a mixture of in depth knowledge and counselling skills to listen, assess and help Mum's to breastfeed. Breastfeeding and parenthood can sometimes be a roller coaster and I can offer you support and make a breastfeeding plan specific to your needs.
Tongue Tie
Tongue tie (ankyloglossia) is a condition present at birth that restricts the tongues movement, this can impact feeding. The restriction is caused by a short or tight membrane (lingual frenulum) under the tongue.
Releasing the tongue can often help babies to breast or bottle feed more effectively. I can can take a full history of your feeding and assess your baby for tongue tie during a home visit. I currently work as a tongue tie practitioner in Surrey for the NHS and not privately. I am happy to refer should this be appropriate for you and your baby.
