Does your baby bob their head around frantically at the breast when trying to latch them??

Then try this 👆

01/09/2026

You’ve planned the nursery.
You’ve bought the pram.
You’ve packed your hospital bag.
You may have even spent hours thinking about your birth preferences…

But have you prepared for feeding your baby? 🤍

Breastfeeding is natural, but that doesn’t always mean it feels easy or intuitive in those first few days.

My antenatal infant feeding consultations are a chance to slow down, learn what to expect and feel more prepared before your baby arrives.

Together, we can talk about:

🤍 How breastfeeding works
🤍 What to expect in the early days
🤍 Skin-to-skin and why it matters
🤍 Normal newborn behaviour
🤍 Early feeding cues and how to recognise them
🤍 Positioning and attachment
🤍 Common breastfeeding challenges
🤍 Troubleshooting if things don’t quite go to plan
🤍 Brief information about bottle feeding and combination feeding

Most importantly, this isn’t about me telling you how you should feed your baby.

It’s about giving you evidence-based information, realistic expectations and a safe space to ask all those questions you might not even know you have yet.

Because preparing for your baby isn’t just about preparing for birth.

Prepare for feeding too. 🤍

If you’re expecting a baby and would like to find out more about an antenatal infant feeding consultation with me, send me a DM.

Let’s Talk About………
Planning to feed your baby.

You wrote a birth plan. Did you write a feeding plan? 👀
Not what bottle to buy “just in case” — a plan for who’s actually going to hold you up on the hard days. The people who’ll do your washing, bring you a plate of food, sit with you while you cry, and cheer you on — not step in and take the feed away from you.

Have that conversation now, before baby’s here. Be specific about what support looks like. And get your feeding support contacts saved in your phone before your due date — you don’t want to be frantically searching for them when you are feeling stressed.

This is exactly the kind of thing we cover antenatally. If you’re due soon, let’s get this sorted before baby arrives. 🤍

One of the hardest things about becoming a breastfeeding mum wasn’t just learning how to breastfeed.

It was learning how to trust myself when it felt like everyone else had an opinion. ❤️

Someone would say one thing.

Someone else would say the complete opposite.

And somewhere in the middle was me, tired, trying to work out whether I was doing the right thing for my baby.

I think so many breastfeeding mums experience this.

And sometimes the hardest part isn’t the feeding itself.

It’s the doubt.

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking:

“Am I doing this right?”

“Is my baby getting enough?”

“Should I be doing something differently?”

You’re not alone. ❤️

That’s one of the reasons I’m so passionate about supporting breastfeeding mums through Nurturing Foundations East Midlands CIC.

Because sometimes you don’t need another opinion.

You need someone to listen, understand what’s happening and help you feel confident in your own feeding journey.

What I don’t do as an Infant Feeding Coach…

I don’t give medical advice.
I don’t diagnose.
I don’t judge how you feed your baby.
I don’t tell you what you should do.
And I don’t make the decision for you.

So, what do I do? 🤍

I put you at the centre.

I listen. I ask questions. I help you understand what might be happening with your feeding journey.

I share evidence-based, individualised information so you can understand your options.

And then I support you to make the decisions that feel right for you, your baby and your circumstances.

Because your feeding journey is yours — my role is to support you through it, not decide it for you. 🤍

Just a reminder…….

Make sure you take some time to yourself today.

Mine time was having a coffee whilst my children played.

Let’s talk about the bit people don’t always say out loud.

Breastfeeding can be incredibly special.

It can also be physically demanding, emotionally intense and exhausting.

Both things can be true.

If you’re struggling, you don’t have to wait until you’re at breaking point before asking for help.

Nurturing Foundations CIC is here to support breastfeeding families without judgement. ❤️

Are you feeling engorged?

This technique can help baby to latch when your breasts are engorged.

If you are frequently engorged I advise that you seek skilled infant feeding support for a full feeding assessment.

Baby wanting to feed again and again — whatever time of day — isn’t a sign your supply is low, it’s biology. Cluster feeding can happen morning, noon or night, and it’s your baby’s way of building your supply for what’s ahead. Trust the process.
