Lactation Support
Would you like to:
Feel seen and held while identifying your feeding intentions?
Have nurturing support while navigating how to accomplish your feeding goals?
Receive compassionate guidance on preparing for your feeding journey or ending your feeding journey?
This session can happen at any time throughout your feeding journey. We know that nearly all women can breastfeed, given they have access to the right support. This not only means having access to professional support but also the support of their parents, families, friends, workplace and community. I am dedicated to offering evidence-based lactation support that is centred on your unique feeding goals.
This session may look like this:
-
Gaining an understanding of your feeding goals
-
Exploring any current concerns that are impacting your breastfeeding journey
-
Assess your baby whilst feeding
-
Offering support around latch, milk supply, nipple pain, positioning, milk transference, baby’s interest, timing of feeds, blocked ducts, weight gain and more
-
Offering evidence-based and holistic information that is specific to you and your baby
-
Offering information on biological infant sleep and how it relates to feeding
-
Breastfeeding support with an Aware Parenting lens can also be offered.
-
A plan of care will be created and you will be emailed this, with relevant resources and a week of follow-up.
This is a one hour video session, ideally timed so I can witness your baby feed during our session. Partners and support people are welcome and encouraged to join the session
I also offer Breastfeeding Preparation support. This can be done anytime throughout the pregnancy, however, it can be most valuable in the last months of pregnancy.
You can learn about my approach to breastfeeding support on the Aware Parenting Podcast with Marion Rose. The link to the episode is here.

"I had a Lactation Session with Carly in week three of postpartum. Four months later, I still draw daily from the remarkable amount of wisdom, compassion, gentle technical suggestions, and inclusive resources she provided with her exceptionally perceptive and empathetic approach. The session left me feeling calm, hopeful, confident, and inspired, and most importantly seen and held by someone who genuinely cares and communicates with heart and mind in perfect synch. I couldn't recommend her services highly enough. A thousand thank you's, Carly. " Julia
Packages are a wonderful way to zoom in on something that is coming up with you. It offers depth and the safety of continuity of support. You do not need to retell your story, as we have already built a relationship. There is more opportunity to explore the layers that are there, at a pace that feels good for you. It is also more economical, as the more sessions you purchase, the more affordable the individual sessions will be.
