I will be guiding you as you learn and your baby learn how to feed together.
I'm also a mum to two little ones and I take great pleasure in learning from them and watching them develop their feeding, eating and speaking skills. In the last five years I've breastfeed to toddlerhood, weaned two babies onto solids, and experienced the joys and mess of baby led weaning.
I am a qualified Speech and Language
Therapist and have been practicing since 2001 when I graduated from De Montfort University in Leicester, UK with a Bsc Hons. Since qualifying I have gained further qualifications in Pediatric Dysphagia (eating and drinking difficulties) and I now specialise in this area. In 2019 | qualified as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).
