Lactation Services in Belconnen
At Eat Speak Learn we are privileged to support you and your baby in their feeding journey from day one. Our lactation appointments are one-off sessions designed to support families with concerns about breastfeeding and early feeding with our International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant®.
A lactation consultation is tailored to you and your baby’s needs, and may include:
- Support with positioning and attachment, including guidance on how to comfortably hold and feed your baby
- Assessing how your baby feeds, including suck, swallow, breathing, and tongue function
- Help to increase or regulate your milk supply
- Support to manage nipple or breast pain, feeding challenges, and conditions such as mastitis
Breastfeeding can look different for every family. Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, each experience can bring something new. We understand both the joys and challenges, and are here to support you with practical, evidence-based guidance.
Through a lactation consult we can offer expert advice—and sometimes just a listening ear—to help you feel more confident along the way. We can help identify what’s going on and support you to feel more comfortable and confident.
We can also develop personalised feeding plans for babies with additional needs, including premature babies, multiples, or infants with medical conditions such as tongue-tie, cleft palate, or heart conditions, with our Lactation Consultant- dually qualified as a speech pathologist- and with the ability to refer to our in-house dietitians as required.
