Welcome!
Breastfeeding support based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire
Personalised, professional advice, support and reassurance from a fully certified Lactation Consultant based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire.
​​
As your Lactation Consultant, I provide comprehensive services to guide and support you and your family to reach your goals, become confident and overcome any particular challenges you face at every stage of your breastfeeding journey.
About Me
I am Lucy, mum of 2 boys who have kept me on my toes since 2011. I have been supporting families for nearly 11 years.
When my first baby came along I would attend various breastfeeding clinics with my group of newly found mum friends. This led to me training as a Peer Supporter with the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers and I began volunteering at my local NHS run clinic. Soon after this I qualified as a Breastfeeding Counsellor, volunteering on the National Breastfeeding Helpline and then went on to take the IBCLC exam in 2021 after I had gathered the required 1000+ hours of clinical support.
​
My passion is supporting families to feel confident in their choices, to make informed decisions and to ultimately get to a place where they can relax and enjoy their baby. Sometimes that is just reassurance that they are doing everything right and sometimes it is a more in-depth journey to get to that place but together we will work out a plan that fits you and your family.
​
Full disclaimer - the toddler in this picture is now 11 and nearly as tall as me and my hair is now mainly silver not brown - that's 11 years with 2 boys for you!
In Home Consultation
A private 90 minute consultation in the comfort of your own home.
Having problems or would like make sure everything is going well? We take time to discuss your feeding journey, experience, and your current concerns as well as observing your baby feeding and an oral assessment can be performed before working to support you in finding solutions to any problems. Following our appointment, I will provide you with a written record of everything that we have discussed and practiced. This service includes text or email support for 5 days after our appointment.

Antenatal Breastfeeding Consultation
All your questions answered in the comfort of your home.

Support in your Pocket
2 weeks of WhatsApp text support
A service that allows you to ask those questions that pop up in your head instead of asking Dr Google! What is normal? Tips on burping baby? Does this poo look a good colour? How many times a day should they be feeding? Great for basic infant feeding support and information on normal newborn behaviour.
​
Messages will be replied to within 24hrs but often within minutes during waking hours.
​
If more than basic support is needed, then a separate consult may be recommended.
