Infant Feeding/Breastfeeding

Infant Feeding Practitioner  

I am here to support you however you decide to feed your baby!

I am passionate about supporting you to get off to a good start with infant feeding and to reach your feeding goals!

Getting off to a good start with infant feeding starts in the antenatal period.    

Start your breastfeeding journey informed and empowered!

You plan for the birth of your baby so why not plan for how to feed your baby.

Getting off to a good start is so important in initiating and maintaining your breastfeeding journey.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) and UNICEF recommend:

  • Early initiation of breastfeeding within 1 hour of birth;

  • Exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life; and

  • Introduction of nutritionally-adequate and safe complementary (solid) foods at 6 months together with continued breastfeeding up to 2 years of age or beyond.
