Lactation consultants in Melbourne

The more you know before giving birth, the more confident you’ll feel when it’s time to feed. Our LCs provide breastfeeding education for expecting parents, helping them understand what to expect and how to prepare. Whether you want to establish a milk supply or simply feel informed and ready, our team of health professionals is here to support you every step of the way. By starting your breastfeeding education early, you can gain insight into lactation fundamentals and practical tips to make breastfeeding smoother from the beginning.

Many women face difficulties as they begin their breastfeeding journey. Common issues like low milk supply, mastitis, cracked nipples, and slow baby weight gain can overwhelm early nursing days.

Our lactation consultant team are experts in recognising and addressing these concerns, using their advanced lactation-specific clinical experience to offer effective solutions tailored to all types of mothers. With their guidance, you’ll gain valuable strategies for overcoming these common hurdles and build confidence in yourself and your baby.

Whether you’re planning to breastfeed exclusively or combine breast and bottle feeding, our LCs are here to honour your choices and talk you through things. Feeding your baby is an intimate experience; we know every woman's path can look different. Our team provides judgment-free, compassionate support to ensure your goals are met, whether establishing an abundant milk supply or learning to express milk.

Breastfeeding doesn’t always come naturally, even after the initial days and weeks. As babies grow, their feeding needs may change, sometimes disrupting established routines. Our lactation consultant team is here to provide support as your needs evolve.

From handling nursing issues like breast engorgement to managing ongoing milk production and creating a plan for returning to work while breastfeeding, our LCs will guide you through each new phase with confidence and ease.
