Breastfeeding Consultation and Support

Book an in-person breastfeeding consultation in Dublin or online.

Women may encounter various hurdles on their breastfeeding journey, but with the caring support of an IBCLC, most obstacles can be overcome. As an IBCLC, I attentively listen to your experiences and concerns and inquire about your breastfeeding goals. 

Together, we will craft a personalised breastfeeding plan that aligns with your needs and family dynamics. Whether you are just starting or have been on this journey for a while, a breastfeeding consultation can provide valuable assistance. Empathetic support and evidence-based information form the foundation of my breastfeeding guidance.

Online consultations typically last around 1 hour, while in-person consultations, conducted in the comfort of your home, last approximately 1.5-2 hours. To prepare for the consultation, a pre-consultation booking form is provided to gather background information. Following the session, you will receive a written care plan, and I’ll follow up with a phone call or email within the first week. Same-day appointments are often available. To book a consultation, please complete the contact form indicating your preference for morning, afternoon, or evening.
