Breastfeeding & Lactation Support

Lainey can assist with many breastfeeding issues. It can be either an easy, joyful journey or painful and even traumatic experience.

Sometimes it is just a simple change that can turn the tables and lead to a path of comfort and fulfillment for both mummy and baby.

Choosing whether to breastfeed or formula feed your baby is one of the first decisions expectant parents will make. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends breastfeeding as best nutrition for babies. Breastfeeding helps to defend against infections, reduce incidence of allergies and protects against a number of chronic conditions.

Although experts believe breastmilk is the best nutritional choice for infants, breastfeeding may not be possible for all women. Lainey has educated and assisted a large number of women with their breastfeeding issues. She uses her midwifery expertise to help mums with correct attachment and help to make breastfeeding a lovely experience.

Lainey teaches gestalt breastfeeding, a technique developed and taught to her by Dr Pamela Douglas. These techniques are founded through rigorous and contemporary medical research using ultrasound of breastfeeding babies to improve the experience of breastfeeding for both mummy and baby.
