Babytobreast Ltd - Tongue Tie Practitioner and Breastfeeding Support 2.71

I provide infant feeding clinic services for mothers who are able to travel to Leicester and Bedford who need support with their babies, both breast feeding and artificial feeding. I am a member of the Medical Defence Union, the Royal College of Midwives, the Lactation Consultants of Great Britain and the Association of Tongue-Tie Practitioners.
My Bedford Clinic availability depends on my main employment commitments. Please call for availability.

I have worked in the NHS, initially as a nurse and then as a midwife since 1985. I have specialised in infant feeding due to my passion for supporting mothers who wish to breast feed. Like most people who have a keen interest I had feeding problems which subsequently led me on a pathway to where I am today, supporting mothers in the NHS and privately.

In 1993 I began my family and I have two lovely daughters. I was able to breast feed the first daughter without any concerns until she self weaned.

Sadly, my second daughter was unable to breast feed and, reluctantly, I moved on to artificial milk for her. Without in depth knowledge and experience, I was unable to identify why she struggled, and blamed myself for not being able to feed her.

When I discovered information about Tongue Ties in 2007 it was my 'light bulb' moment and the path was set for me to acquire training, as an IBCLC, and experience and competency in frenulotomies (division of the Tongue tie).
