"I contacted Claire after being at my wits end dealing with nipple pain after breastfeeding my daughter exclusively since her birth 4 weeks ago. I was becoming emotional and even dreading each feed as I was in that much pain. We booked an hour session with Claire and she was extremely compassionate, supportive and understanding of my worries and problems. She has a non-judgemental approach that made me feel listened to, and quickly identified that my daughter’s latch was too shallow. Within our hour session with her she was able to show me a technique that could rectify this problem and I was able to practice it with her guidance in her visit. After the visit she provided me with detailed notes on how to continue the technique. Claire has also checked in with me since and has done a video call to check the latch when I needed reassurance. Overall I’m extremely glad i sought help and got in touch with Claire, as I can already tell she will have helped elongate my breastfeeding journey and I’m on the way to enjoying feeding my daughter again."

“A huge thank you to Claire for not only coming out so soon but also getting me the right help I needed for my baby boy. I was so nervous awaiting Claire’s arrival as I am a very self-conscious individual. Claire made me feel so at ease from the minute she walked into my home – anything was ok with her!

She explained things in great detail and gave me the advice I needed at the time. Claire gave me hope that my breastfeeding journey wasn’t over, it was just beginning. Even after Caire had gone home she kept in contact and even passed on my details to the right people to get my son assessed for tongue-tie division. 

I highly recommend her expertise and wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again if I had more children.”

“I contacted Claire after she was recommended to me when my baby was 7/8 weeks old and having a few issues.

Claire was very approachable and understanding - I felt comfortable asking her anything as no question was a silly question when it came to feeding.

Claire has a wealth of knowledge around breastfeeding and was able to settle any worries or anxieties that I had around the topic. Claire very quickly noticed an issue in my baby’s latch and worked with me to resolve it to get a better latch. I have continued with the technique she taught me and because of her I was able to continue with my breastfeeding journey. Claire also kept in touch with me between appointments to see how I was getting on and sent me a report after each session.

I also wanted to express milk but found the whole process too daunting to begin with. Claire patiently taught me how to express and pace feed with a bottle, all of which I still do today.
I would 100% recommend Claire if you need a lactation consultant as she gave me the confidence to continue with breastfeeding!”

“Claire came to our home at 32 weeks pregnant for a breast feeding education session. It’s was extremely useful and we were both very glad we did it. Gave us a chance to ask lots of questions and think of lots of things we hadn’t thought of before. Thank you Claire!”

“Claire provided us with breastfeeding support at home when my baby was 14 weeks old & I had been struggling with blocked ducts & mastitis. She was so friendly & knowledgeable, I felt so listened to & supported. She left me feeling more confident to continue my breastfeeding journey. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Claire if we ever needed any support in the future.”

“I called Claire after finding myself being very sore, and starting to worry about the next feeds. I explained this to Claire over the phone and she suggested sending videos of him latching, feeding and his position while I was feeding. Claire sent me a text first to reassure me as to where the video was being sent too. Within 5 minutes of his feed finishing Claire called me and explained that she though his latch was shallow and it was possibly me relaxing my arm to quickly and letting him slip off. But also she highlighted many positives in the video which again was very reassuring and nice to hear! After a day of practicing I re sent a video to which I got an instant response of how much the latch had improved! I also feel less sore and more confident! I am incredibly greatful for Claire's advice!!”

”After giving birth to my daughter in February 2024, it quickly became apparent that I did not have any colostrum/milk to feed her. We were kept in hospital after the labour due to other monitoring that needed to be carried out for 24 hours. However, this ended up escalating to a 5 day stay due to feeding complications. My baby was fed formula for the first 5 days of her life and due to my desire to breastfeed, I was given an electric pump to use in hospital and encouraged at each feed time to let her try and latch, then bottle feed her with formula and then pump on both sides to stimulate milk production. I felt completely clueless, I didn’t know how to hold my baby correctly to try and feed her or how to ensure she latched correctly. I didn’t know what felt “normal” and other than using the pump, I was unsure what else I could do to stimulate my milk supply. I asked repeatedly for support and did receive some but the staff were so busy that it was fleeting advice and didn’t build my confidence nor result in my baby latching successfully. On day 5, the repeated pumping resulted in me producing a small amount of milk - this felt like a huge achievement and we fought to get home to be in our own space where I agreed that I would continue to seek support with breastfeeding from community midwives, health visitors etc.

Claire was recommended to me from a close friend who had worked with her previously and stated how passionate and knowledgeable she was about breastfeeding.

Claire came out to visit us the same evening of our hospital discharge and completely turned our circumstances around. By the end of her visit, just an hour and a half later, my baby could latch successfully through the aid of nipple shields and was starting to drink my milk for the first time since she was born. I also additionally knew different positions I could use to feed her and was advised by Claire how to wean her off the bottles she had been having up until that point.

I cannot thank Claire enough for enabling me to have the breastfeeding experience I so desperately wanted for myself and my baby. She gave me hope at a time when I felt completely deflated and hopeless and had no faith in body or abilities. Claire’s passion for breastfeeding shines through in her support, she is approachable and caring, I felt really comfortable in her company despite being in a vulnerable position and emotional! Claire has great knowledge which backs up her approach and provided follow up support in the coming weeks after her visit which was invaluable. I’ll always be grateful for her help and I feel extremely lucky to have been able to have such a special experience with my baby.”
