Seven Lactation Consultants with one phone call!

Seven Lactation Consultants with one phone call!

A warm welcome from the London Lactation Consultants!

We are a group of seven breastfeeding specialists, working together to make it easier for mothers in the London area to access professional, high quality breastfeeding support for their new families.

We are delighted to be offering home and clinic consults again following the pandemic, in line with current guidance, whilst continuing to offer remote assistance. Our long experience of supporting families remotely via telephone/Zoom/FaceTime etc became particularly valuable during the Covid pandemic, enabling us to provide much needed and valued breastfeeding support, both locally and abroad.

We are all trained International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC).  Between us we have over 90 years’ experience in supporting mothers and their babies. Over that period we have helped over 20,000 mothers.  Yet, as mothers to our own children – we have 15 children between us – we know and understand that each mother-and-baby pair is unique.  Our time spent with you will reflect this, as we work together to find what best suits you and your baby.

We’re here to support you and your baby and to help you find your way through often misleading and contradicting sources of information.

Please see our Services Page to find out more.  Our Reviews page has recent feedback from families we’ve supported.

We are getting on so much better now with breastfeeding and I no longer have any discomfort… In fact, I am really enjoying the ease and flexibility of it! I’m so grateful for all your help and advice – it was much harder than I had imagined getting started and I think I needed the encouragement to keep going, so thank you.

Your support and excellent advice have enabled me to continue exclusive breastfeeding as I wanted and for my son to gain nearly 800g in the 4 weeks following your visit. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone in need of support with breastfeeding.

I cannot tell you the difference you have made to our lives. [My baby] has been taking the breast more and more and managed almost 5 minutes on each breast yesterday which brought tears to my eyes…. Feeding is now a pleasurable experience and I just love having her in my arms while she drinks, bottle or breast. [My baby] is so much happier during feeding time and we are having a lot more eye contact and it is truly amazing. You really were an answer to prayers.

[My Lactation Consultant had] a wonderfully supportive, positive and kind manner and I’m truly very grateful to her for her help. She came to my house and worked with me when I was unable to breastfeed after leaving hospital with my baby girl…. With her support and advice I gradually transitioned from bottle feeding to breastfeeding – something which I was desperate to achieve but could hardly believe would be possible in the early days. I really can’t thank her enough.

After contacting the London Lactation Consultants they organised a consultation at my house very quickly. My husband and I thought [our Lactation Consultant] was really great. With her balanced approach she shared her extensive experience and knowledge with both of us to help sort out any feeding issues, putting us at ease and reassuring me that I was doing a good job. She helped with positioning and made some suggestions to improve my son’s latch. I definitely have had a better feeding experience with my son since our consultation.

You were personable, observant, and rigorous in detail, giving me the confidence to start attempting breastfeeding again. You went through a technique which would work for me. It worked. I would recommend you for anyone struggling with technique, confidence, and the diagnosis of any problems. I felt utterly comfortable with you in my house, and with my new baby.

I just wanted to say thanks again for all your help. We had the best night’s sleep so far last night and my baby’s been busy today helping with my poor old engorged boobs (which are miles better today). There is much less fussing and much more latching. We’re both much happier!

Just to say a massive thank you for today – it was lovely to meet you and get all your good advice. It was such a relief to be heard and listened too in such a calm and professional manner, as many women as possible should be aware of your services. I’ll definitely recommend your services to a couple of friends who are due soon too.

The time I spent with [my Lactation Consultant] really transformed my breastfeeding experience. I went from being in near-constant pain and needing to use nipple shields to feeding successfully with little pain in just a couple of hours. [My Lactation Consultant] also spotted my daughter’s tongue tie ( that had been missed by two midwives) which enabled us to get treatment quickly and made a huge difference to how effectively my daughter fed. We are now four weeks in and breastfeeding is a real joy.

Was absolutely wonderful to meet you this morning… You were my island in a giant sea of utter uncertainty!!!! Thank you for your considered advice, professionalism and evidence-based comment and for being clear, approachable and generally very nice indeed! I feel the best I have felt in 4 days since speaking with you. Mum and Dad couldn’t get over how brilliant you were too.

You immediately put me at ease and due to your medical background and experience were able to offer valuable advice and support. Not only did you make a huge difference to my feeding problems, but you were also a lovely, calm person to be visited by – a must for any mums having problems with feeding.

Thank you doesn’t even come close to expressing our HUGE gratitude and appreciation for all you’ve done for us, in our slightly rockier-than-expected journey with our baby’s feeding….We both feel 100%, that without your incredible support, we would not be where we are today with our happy, healthy daughter.

Your support, advice and the comfort you
offered our family…was invaluable. You helped me figure out how to do what was
best for my baby and what was best for me. I felt so supported by you in the
process and so grateful that you helped us find success with breastfeeding. I
cannot thank you enough for that.

I had not expected breastfeeding to be so
challenging and was in excruciating pain, and starting to dread each feed. My
Lactation Consultant took a detailed history, and observed me breastfeeding
providing some very helpful advice, pointers and reassurance.

Breastfeeding is now significantly less painful and I feel much more confident.  I certainly believe that arranging a consultation is a worthwhile investment as I can now enjoy a great bonding experience with my daughter.

[My Lactation Consultant] was wonderful. She visited quickly supporting us through a nursing strike, and then a period of separation. She offered fantastic advice, and her visit was a major turning point for me . Her aftercare support was above and beyond with several chats and texts whenever there was a hiccup. She has helped me grow into a confident mother and for that I will be eternally grateful .
