I first met with Emily when I was 35 weeks pregnant where she worked to understand my feeding goals which was to exclusively breastfeed. She discussed ways to support this as well as showing me how to collect colostrum which I managed to do. My baby Remy surprised us and came at 37+3 and had to go into the nursery for a few days as he was jaundice. This meant that I had to feed him on me, then express to top up and then top up with formula. When my milk came in while I was in hospital I reached out to Emily to organise a visit as I was in a lot of pain. Emily promptly responded with her first availability and some helpful tips for me to follow in the meantime. When Emily visited I was heavily postpartum and hormonal. Emily sat, listened and showed me the warmth I needed to let go of the expectations I had on myself. She helped me to work with what was happening in the present and to get the best out of the feeding experience. Around 8 weeks Remy was not feeding well and once again Emily visited within a day of my email. She helped me to understand how Remy was feeding, give me peace of mind that he was firstly feeding well but he was also getting enough and this supported me to being in a place now where I am exclusively breastfeeding. In between visits and even now I have been able to email Emily with a quick question and she is always happy to support and help me in my journey. Thank you Emily for the continued guidance, warmth and understanding you have supported me with in my breastfeeding journey which has become such an enjoyable experience to share with Remy.
"Emily!! Look at me go!
All thanks to you - I really appreciate your help. Starting to get more and more confident as the days go on and having some very comfortable, lovely feeds now. Thank you so so much again, you're amazing xx"
"Hi Emily! I just wanted to write and say we made it to 6 months and still going strong with our breastfeeding journey!
Definitely couldn't have made it without your invaluable support in the beginning."
Esther & Baby Emery
"I just wanted to say thank you so much for today. I know it's your job but you literally saved me today. Just having you there providing me with knowledge and reassurance has made the world of difference for me."
Danielle & Baby Oliver
"When I think about how painful it was at the beginning, and with the experience I had last time, I really doubted that I would ever be able to feed so easily.
So thank you so much.
Without your guidance I really don't think it would have happened."
Jaydene & Baby Otis
"After coming home from hospital with a small baby and a less than ideal feeding plan I reached out to Emily for help. She came quickly and then carefully laid out a plan that was easy to follow and ultimately resulted in me being able to breastfeed my son. I’m so grateful! She was empathetic and non judgmental which was so appreciated as I was already fragile. Thank you Emily, the breastfeeding process was really important to me and I’m able to now have this experience."
Kylie & Baby Kit
"The consultation was amazing, thank you so much again for all of your help and advice. I feel better about my supply and ability to breastfeed."

"We had a hugely successful weekend for our wedding. Gus took the bottle like a champion and was completely happy with it. Your support has just been everything in the lead up.
Thank you for being so patient with us and for continuing being in touch over such a long time.
It's so, so appreciated."
Jess & Baby Gus
"Just wanted to send you a big thank you. We had Mia's follow-up visit yesterday and she had stacked on 365 grams in
2 weeks! Plus grown 1.5cm in length and 0.7cm head circ. She seems to be tracking along a centile now and no longer dropping :)"
Sharae & Baby Mia
"Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou.
I feel relieved that I am seeing him get a tummy full of milk and that he will be ok to take a bottle on the days he is babysat. Could not have done it without you!"
Laura & Baby Adam
"Just thought I would send you an update as Charlotte is doing amazing! We had our MCHN appointment yesterday and she had put on a little over 700 grams in the two weeks since our last appointment. We have also not offered her a bottle at all in the last week. Thank you so much for all of your help!"
Ashleigh & Baby Charlotte
"I felt ten foot taller walking out of your clinic.
This advice has given me so much confidence already and I am already seeing a positive impact since implementing the feeding approach you’ve thoughtfully outlined. "
Lucy & Baby Harry
"You visited me in April and helped me out with (very bad!) nipple pain and fast flow with my newborn. I was on the verge of just packing it in and going to formula. You gave me such simple advice and a really easy plan to follow and I'm happy to say we have been exclusively breastfeeding have a very happy baby and healed boobs!So thank you so much for your support!"
Carla & Baby Hazel

"It was so helpful to have you over and to make a plan for us.
Thankyou for sending the plan straight after our consultation.
I already feel we have a much
happier boy."
Kashka & Baby Howie
"I just wanted to say a huge thank you. Conor has taken the bottle 4/4 nights without any fight at all and I can't believe my eyes.. I'm totally blown away and just wanted to say a huge thanks."
Elle & Baby Conor
"I found the Prenatal Breastfeeding Education session really helpful and am feeling excited and really looking forward to my breastfeeding journey as a result of this consultation."
Nicole (mum to be)
"It was validating speaking to you and even though I wanted a solution on how to quit breastfeeding immediately, I now realise the external pressure by everyone to just quit cold turkey was extremely unhelpful. Thank you for the resources, after speaking with you I know that weaning slowly is much safer.
Thanks again."
Leila & Baby Lennox
"Thank you so much for your guidance, it's made such a difference & we are doing so much better on our breastfeeding journey now."
