Making feeding work for you
The value of breastfeeding to emotional and physical health is undisputed. However many women find that they are unable to continue feeding as long as they would like. I believe that with the right guidance and care many more people can achieve their feeding goals. With comprehensive assessment in your own home and easy follow up as you need it, the support I provide is tailored to you, your feeding intentions and your family.
"Sophie has an amazing combination of expert knowledge, enthusiasm and a friendly and reassuring manner. All of these helped me through my struggles to feed a baby with a partial tongue tie and trouble latching on. Her follow up care helped us to keep going til he was feeding like a pro! Can't recommend enough."
"Having struggled to breastfeed for the first few days, Sophie's help came at just the right time for us. Her calm reassurance and practical solutions put us on the right track and enabled us to really enjoy the experience. Can't recommend her highly enough."
"Sophie took time to listen to my past and present experience and to find out what my goals were and what would work for my family. I felt really listened to and that we made a plan together. Sophie gave me some great practical positioning tips which were also really helpful. I would absolutely recommend seeking her support to anyone!"
