"Wonderful support"

After a tricky birth and rocky first few weeks Karen was amazing at getting us on the right path with breastfeeding. 6 months later, my daughter is still exclusively breast fed and is in the 90th centile for weight and height. I’m not sure I would have made it through those first few weeks without her support, kind words and encouragement.

"Incredible support and results"

After our first baby was born we were struggling with breastfeeding and trying formula, guards and more. Karen came and within 10 minutes both baby and mum had mastered it. We can’t recommend Karen highly enough!

"I recently had my first baby and after…"

I recently had my first baby and after quite a traumatic birth he was taken to the NICU because he swallowed meconium and needed help from a ventilator to breathe. Luckily he wasn’t on the ventilator for long but he stayed in the nicu ward for around 48 hours. My preference has always been to exclusively breastfeed, I was allowed to breastfeed in the nicu however being new to this I didn’t really understand or receive the support I needed to get this established and was rushed to fit within their feeding schedules. he was given ‘top up’ formula which I agreed to not really understanding what it meant. I continued to go to him every 3 hours and breastfeed what I could. When he came back to me on the ward my milk still hadn’t come in and I struggled to keep up with the amount of formula he was having which was really hard for me, it broke my heart every time he had a bottle. He also had higher levels of jaundice so we were encouraged to keep topping up to flush it out. When we were discharged I got in touch with Karen right away through a recommendation at my ‘Happy Parents, Happy Baby’ course and I’m SO glad that I did. Karen helped me to make sense of the situation, that everything was fine and we would be able to get him back to exclusively breast feeding. With her support I managed to do this within 3 days of him coming out of hospital and we are now exclusively breastfeeding. A lot of my experience was my anxiety around the situation, Karen was a calming influence and reassured me throughout - checking in with us regularly, offering advice and always being available on WhatsApp for any questions that I had. I highly recommend Karen for anyone who is breastfeeding - from my experience so far it’s a very challenging but so rewarding and worth getting the support to get it right for you and your baby early on. Thank you!!!

"Karen was so helpful at helping my baby…"

Karen was so helpful at helping my baby and I get our breastfeeding technique right. I highly recommend her services.

"Highly recommended- invaluable guidance and support"

I'm so grateful to Karen for the huge part she played in helping me establish breastfeeding. We had a really rocky start and I was massively lacking in confidence. Over the course of a few visits, Karen gave me lots of practical guidance on latch, positioning and on seeking further support with potential tongue tie. But more than that, her encouragement helped me keep going when things were tough, and have faith in myself (and my baby) that we could make it work. I'm so glad that I listened to her and persevered and am now happily breastfeeding 10 weeks on - thank you Karen!

"Karen was so kind and helpful"

Karen was so kind and helpful. She helped me with various ways to hold my baby. I had been doing these holds wrong and it had caused mastitis and sore nipples. Our baby was not opening his mouth wide due to his ventouse delivery and Karen told us about the benefits of craniosacral therapy. She has a lot of knowledge and answered our flurry of questions. I would fully recommend Karen.

"Lifesaver— highly recommend"

Karen saw us when I was struggling with milk supply and feeding an increasingly aggravated baby! In one session she turned things around and we have a happy breastfed baby. Was able to see us quickly, super helpful and very responsive to follow up questions! Cannot recommend highly enough!

"Will recommend to all the new mothers"

I called Karen because I wanted somebody to come and help me in person with breastfeeding and check how I was doing. Karen replied pretty much straight away and agreed to see me the next day. I was really happy with the service Karen provided as she showed me other ways to feed baby and also reassured me that I was doing well, which I really needed. Karen also gave me advice on a number of other matters such as potty training my toddler as well as how to deal with my baby’s reflux. I really felt glad that I called Karen and will be recommending her to any new mums I come across. I was also offered a 20 minute follow up visit which was much appreciated and will definitely be calling again if I need any more support. Thank you!

"Just what I needed"

I got in touch with Karen late on day 2 after returning home from hospital having failed to get breastfeeding started. I was expressing colostrum and feeding it to my baby with a cup or syringe and panicking that she was not getting enough.

Karen came round the next morning first thing, and gave me advice and encouragement, helping me to relax and trust that we just needed to practice and build our confidence. She also taught us tips for sleeping, and using a sling.

I felt so much better after her visit, and managed to make great progress over the next few days with a calmer attitude. We are now successfully breastfeeding and it has been such an enormous weight off my mind. Thank you!

"Breastfeeding support session"

I had a session with Karen today and it was extremely helpful. Karen has helped me find a way to breastfeed my baby in a more comfortable way, gave lots of useful information regarding optimising my milk supply and sleep while breastfeeding as well as provide some well needed reassurance. The early days of breastfeeding can be tricky and I’d definitely recommend a session with Karen if you need some support at this time.
