JOELLEEN IBCLC
Expert breastfeeding support in Melbourne and online.
Whether you are preparing for breastfeeding during pregnancy or need help with feeding now, I provide experienced, individual care to help you understand what is happening and what to do next.
BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT
It’s common for breastfeeding to not feel natural at first.
You might be dealing with painful feeds, concerns about milk supply, a baby who is unsettled at the breast, slow weight gain, pumping, bottles or mastitis. Sometimes there isn’t one obvious problem. You just know feeding doesn’t feel right.
You don’t need to figure it out before you book. That is what I’m here to help with.
