  • As a certified lactation consultant I will assess your current breastfeeding situation and discuss your motivations and goals for weaning. We'll consider factors such as your baby's age, feeding patterns, and your personal circumstances to create a personalised weaning plan that suits your needs.

  • I will guide you through various weaning methods, whether gradual or abrupt and discuss the advantages and considerations of each approach. I will help you determine the most appropriate method based on your specific circumstances and the needs of both you and your baby.

  • Weaning can be an emotional experience for both mother and baby. My weaning consultation offers a safe space to discuss any feelings or concerns you may have. I will provide understanding, empathy, and strategies to navigate the emotional aspects of weaning, helping you and your baby through this transition.

  • I will address potential issues such as engorgement and managing your milk supply during the weaning process. I will offer practical tips on gradually reducing milk production, preventing discomfort, and alleviating engorgement symptoms.

  • If you're transitioning from breastfeeding to other feeding methods, such as bottle feeding or introducing solids, we'll provide guidance on the best practices for a smooth transition. I will offer advice on introducing new foods, selecting appropriate feeding equipment, and ensuring your baby's nutritional needs are met.

  • My support doesn't end with the consultation. I am committed to your weaning success and offer ongoing support as you navigate this new phase. I will be available to answer any questions that may arise and provide guidance as you and your baby adjust to the changes.
