TESTIMONIALS

Jenny was quick to work out with me that my issue was oversupply, ruling out other potential problems such as an allergy or tongue tie. I didn't even know that it was possible to reduce ones supply, let alone how! Now my baby only spits up occasionally and is so much more content and happy. Feeds are more settled and he can fall asleep at the breast now, which wasn't an option before. Thanks for all your help, especially the email support afterwards which was hugely supportive for us.

Jenny’s support was invaluable when I started having issues breastfeeding at 6 weeks. With lots of issues from an overactive letdown, suspected thrush/eczema & vapospasm, Jenny provided support to me and our baby face to face and over email; this meant I was able to continue breastfeeding and resolve many of the issues we were having. I am very grateful for her support and would highly recommend her services!

Becca

I contacted Jenny shortly after my son was born as we had challenges with feeding due to a hospital stay shortly after birth. Our son was experiencing reflux and was distressed during most feeds. Jenny was reassuring and helped by supporting us with positioning and advice, which made a massive difference to our feeding experience. Jenny was responsive to all our questions and I am certain that Jenny’s support helped us to re-establish breastfeeding. I would recommend anyone needing advice or support to get in contact.

Amy

I got in touch with Jenny when my daughter was 6 weeks old, and have been so impressed by her generous knowledge, compassion and professionalism. I was anxious about breastfeeding following a traumatic attempt with my son, and was convinced that I would not be able to breastfeed my daughter. She took the time to listen to my first experience, and offered supportive advice in a completely non-judgmental and personalised manner. I am now exclusively breastfeeding my daughter with great joy, and I couldn‘t have done it without Jenny. My in-person appointment with her was by far the best professional care that I have had postpartum - I only wish I had known about her earlier! She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her work, and I appreciated the detailed notes she sent following our session. I highly recommend her services, especially to parents who have struggled with breastfeeding in the past.

Sabrina

I got help from Jenny when I was struggling with an oversupply. She was quick to reply to emails, and being able to come and see me. We had a home visit, which was very beneficial and she explained all the different options to try and tackle an oversupply. The follow up email with our consultation summary and advice was amazing to be able to look back on, with action points to work on. Feeding is a lot easier now, and I couldn’t recommend her enough.

Callie

I turned to Jenny for support when I was struggling with a shallow latch. I was stuck on nipple shields and relying on top ups to get my baby fed. Jenny was really generous with her time, she offered me a video consultation and asked lots of questions to really get to know us and understand our situation. She reviewed weight charts and watched videos that I sent her, offering advice along the way. The follow up email support was invaluable, especially as my baby decided to go on a nursing strike a few days in. Having someone to talk to in this time was just what I needed. I was always amazed with how quickly she would respond - so helpful when you’re in crisis mode! Thank you, Jenny!

Nicky

Jenny has supported me both prior to birth in terms of breastfeeding preparation and after birth with improving the latch. I found breastfeeding quite overwhelming, but Jenny’s approach was to take it back to basics and her calm approach in the home made the home visit very relaxed and comfortable. I would recommend Jenny as she’s super knowledgeable, approachable and objective when it comes to breastfeeding advice.

Heather

Considering, that breastfeeding is far more then feeding the baby, but nurturing in all senses, it has a special significance by raising up my little son. Jenny assisted our breastfeeding journey for a couple of months. When I contacted her, the situation seemed to be hopeless, we had issues with gaining weight, I had low milk supply mastitis, blisters, nipple confusion due to adding some top-up etc. When she gently released my hand, I was confident with my baby who is fully breastfed again and gaining weight properly. She made an amazing job. Both with the personal consultation and the online conversations. She was always available and ready to answer both to my practical and to the theoretical questions, to check videos, photos, grow charts I sent. Her help was not only informative, providing links if needed, but her being honest, empathetic and encouraging was always relevant and meant a lot. Thanks to her assistance our breastfeeding journey turned out to be wonderful. I can recommend her from the bottom of my heart.

Szabina

After a fairly straightforward early breastfeeding journey, 9 months in I found myself at the end of my tether and considering giving up following a number of issues (nipple damage, pain feeding, thrush, blocked ducts, mastitis). Jenny was very understanding and was able to provide really practical and helpful advice, including improving my daughter's latch. Feeding has been much more comfortable and enjoyable since our consultation and I feel much more positive about continuing breastfeeding until my daughter is 12 months and beyond. Thank you Jenny!

Vicky

Jenny worked with me to improve an uncomfortable latch and explore why my baby was fussing at the breast. I was fortunate that she was able to do a home visit which was invaluable in the early newborn days. Jenny was extremely helpful and friendly and has really helped me and my baby improve our breastfeeding technique. Thank you Jenny!

Sophie

I booked Jenny to come and help with breastfeeding for me and my 3 week old as we were having a few latch issues. Jenny gave amazing advice and support, her instructions to get a better latch were so clear and we soon got the hang of getting a beautiful deep latch within a few days of her visit. I am so grateful to Jenny. I am now confident and calm at each feed and so is my baby!

Kathryn

Jenny did a 1-to-1 breastfeeding workshop for myself and my partner when I was pregnant. The workshop was really informative and Jenny explained a lot of techniques and useful information about breastfeeding. In the first couple of days after my daughter was born, I was concerned about feeding position and latch. Jenny offered a home visit which was invaluable. As well as helping me with the positioning issues, she reassured us we were reading the cues correctly and made us feel positive about our breastfeeding journey. I would highly recommend using a lactation consultant and especially working with Jenny.

Kirsty

I sought Jenny’s support after suffering from regular blocked ducts whilst breastfeeding my 5 month old. I had previously been told my baby’s latch was ‘fine’ but I knew there was something wrong. Jenny came to my house and was calm and reassuring. She took into account all our birth, feeding and parenting experiences so far before making some minor tweaks to my feeding position and making some further suggestions. Nearly three weeks on and I have had no further blocked ducts at all! My only regret is that I did not get in touch with Jenny sooner! I have a feeling our feeding journey would have been much smoother if I had.

Hannah

I turned to Jenny for support when I was finding it challenging to feed my 3-4 month old daughter and was concerned about her weight gain. Jenny visited me at home, taking covid precautions very seriously. She gathered information before the visit and discussed my experiences and concerns at length on the day, as well as observing my daughter. She provided initial recommendations immediately and then, impressively, reflected on it further and provided additional views afterwards, including consulting with other IBCLC colleagues. She was very thorough and reassuring, as well as very approachable and easy to talk to. I certainly found Jenny’s support valuable in continuing my breastfeeding journey.

Sarah

Jenny came out to see me when I was a very new mum; my little daughter was in her first week of life. I had a lot of pain when feeding, mostly due to a very big tear in my right nipple, and it was so excruciating I was worried whether I would be able to continue. Without hesitation, she came out to see me in my own home and supported me in latch and offered some positions to make it less painful. She explained to me about my letdown - which was very strong and fast - and gave tips on how to support my new tiny baby in not spluttering too much. Not only did she come and see me twice but she was always so helpful over messages on the phone too, and I felt very comfortable in reaching out to her. My husband and I have often reflected back on those early stages - where not adequate information or support are given to parents regarding breastfeeding, and are so thankful that we found Jenny! 15 months on, and me and my beautiful daughter are still going strong, with no signs of our breastfeeding journey ending.

Becky

I contacted Jenny when struggling with breastfeeding in my first couple of weeks with my newborn. She was absolutely fantastic; her guidance and advice are the reason I am still able to continue - I would recommend to anyone who needs support!

Emily

The support from Jenny was invaluable for us- she listened intently to my concerns, spent time observing my son feeding and offered lots of support in improving our breastfeeding journey. Our issues resolved promptly after seeking Jenny’s support, it was great to know she was available for further assistance post consultation. I would definitely recommend Jenny’s support- thank you Jenny!
