With a heavy heart I am announcing closure of bookings in the Bendigo region.

After 5 years servicing Bendigo and surrounding areas, I want to thank you all for booking me and trusting me to guide you through your breastfeeding journey. It has been so wonderful and I absolutely love this line of work and will hopefully continue it.

As a little family of 3, we are making the big move to QLD to further my career in Midwifery.

I am always here to answer any questions you may have online ❤️

My breastfeeding journey 💙

Baby L was born via emergency c-section, I was adamant to get skin to skin straight away, knowing the importance of this and how it can impact breastfeeding. As soon as L cried I could see he had a significant anterior tongue tie, this did not deter me from wanting to feed him. Baby L did not attach for a few hours, this can be quite common for c-section bubs. I continued skin to skin with him through recovery and back to the ward.

He finally latched!! Being on the other side of things was different and harder than I expected. Baby L was heavier than a doll I demonstrated feeding with to a new mother and he moved! I was determined for baby L to stay latched and bring my milk in. I believe these three things contributed to my milk coming in on day 2. Constant skin to skin, proper attachment, feeding at every cue.

Baby L wanted to feed, ALOT! That lovely day 2 came around and he would not even sleep more than 30 mins. I kept telling myself this is normal, he isn’t hungry, he is bringing my milk in, this is biologically normally. And that’s exactly what he did.

We went home that day and I was feeling confident, until I wasn’t. Baby L started to fatigue during feeds, most likely due to his TT. My ni***es became damaged and it was very painful to feed. I knew I needed someone to look at his mouth. During the time of waiting for the appointment I protected my milk supply, I hired a hospital grade pump and pumped milk for baby L and bottle fed him when I couldn’t bare to place him on the breast. We were lucky enough to get into a GP in Castlemaine that afternoon, who did the revision. For 2-3 days after I used ni**le shields to help heal my ni***es and allow Baby L to attach properly.

My ni***es healed and Baby L started to gain weight. I was so relieved and grateful for the education and knowledge I had for those first few days of his life.

We are coming up to one whole year of breastfeeding next month and I am so proud of us. We will continue to feed as long as we are both comfortable and happy. Some other things I experienced on our journey were; mastitis, clogged ducts, biting 😬 and dermatitis.

Education and support is key!
