I can’t recommend booking a consultation with Mo highly enough. She put me at ease and gave such great, practical. tips and advice. The follow up information, links and notes she sent have been so helpful and I feel reassured, positive and confident going forward. I only wish I had seen her earlier in my breastfeeding journey.

I contacted Mo for breastfeeding support as I am a first time mum and quite under confident! I managed to get an appointment really quickly and Mo was really fast to get back to me and send information.
The session itself was lovely and Mo provided me with lots of reassuring advice on topics including cluster feeding, baby growth spurts and the science of breastfeeding. We also practised some breastfeeding positions together which has led to increased comfort for me when feeding my daughter. I would highly recommend Mo’s support if you’re looking for increased confidence and information you can trust.

I met with Mo both antenatal and postnatally and had a great experience at each appointment. I especially found the documents which followed to be particularly helpful as this allowed me the chance to re-visit what we had discussed at the appointments and refer to this when needed.
I found my antenatal appointment offered me the confidence I needed, as a first-time mum, to give exclusive breastfeeding a go. Mo explained how important the first 24 hours after birth are and not only what to do, but why and how to do it, which really helped me understand what to expect and how to advocate for myself and my baby.
I requested to see Mo postnatally when my baby was around four months old and felt completely reassured by Mo after the appointment. Mo helped me try out different feeding positions and as I was becoming exhausted from night feeding, she showed me how to safely feed side-lying, which is a position we still use over 12 months later and has helped prolong my breastfeeding journey. We also spoke about preparing for weaning and after the appointment Mo shared some helpful resources with me.
If you’re considering meeting with a lactation consultant, I would highly recommend Mo. She has a warm, motherly approach and wants what’s best for mum and baby. Her knowledge is vast and the documents which follow the appointment are a great tool to have in your breastfeeding backpack when it’s the wee small hours and you begin to doubt yourself.
“It takes a village”, they say, and Mo has been part of mine. I’ve felt so inspired by the support of Mo, and others, that I’m about to embark on training to become a breastfeeding peer supporter so that I can support mums on their journey too.

I cannot recommend Mo enough and I truly believe my breastfeeding journey could have come to an end in the early months without her and her expertise. My daughter is now 18 months and breastfeeding has been, and continues to be, one of the best things I have ever done, and I will forever be grateful to Mo for all her support. It is so worth the investment in her consultation(s). I couldn’t put a price tag on this beautiful journey and all the benefits my daughter and I have received from it. Thank you Mo!

Mo was a wonderful help on my breastfeeding journey!
James was 4.5 weeks old when I had a consultation with Mo. I was experiencing a multitude of problems with breastfeeding prior to our consultation, including:
– Struggles with positioning and attachment
– Pain & damaged nipples
– Very long feeding times
– Low milk supply, resulting in me having to top up with significant amounts of formula
– A very unsettled baby with digestive issues
Mo provided fantastic support with positioning and attachment. Following the consultation, James was able to feed more effectively from the breast, and feed times became shorter and more satisfying for him. I experienced no more pain and no more nipple damage. Mo was able to explain that we had actually been overfeeding James with formula milk, and we made a plan to reduce the volume of formula top-ups and to space them out more. This had an almost immediate and very positive impact on his digestive issues, resulting in a more settled and content baby who started to sleep better.
I must admit that James is still a big boy with a big appetite but he is clearly so much healthier and happier now. Mo was able to advise on ways of comforting and settling James between feeds. She even showed me how to use the sling from my baby box which has proven to be a god-send!
Mo devised a plan to help me increase my milk supply, with regular breastfeeds and pumping. After a few weeks, my milk supply improved significantly. I now no longer need to pump and just keep my supply going with regular feeding. We still use a bit of formula here and there as it suits my family and our busy lifestyle but James is now predominantly breastfed. Breastfeeding has gone from being exhausting & painful, to now being a bonding experience that I genuinely enjoy. James is so comforted by the closeness and is a much more settled baby now! Thank you Mo!

Mo has provided me with fantastic advice and the reassurance I needed to have the confidence to continue breastfeeding my baby in an enjoyable way!

Mo is such a lovely person and was a great help to me and Hudson! We had some minor breastfeeding difficulties and Mo showed me ways to improve existing techniques as well as some new techniques! She also provided a wealth of information about expressing milk, which was so helpful. I now have more confidence in my breastfeeding journey and can highly recommend Mo to anyone who is looking for some breastfeeding guidance.
Ashley (Jan 2024)
I contacted Mo with difficulties breastfeeding my first baby, Finn. I was dealing with an oversupply, an overactive letdown, was extremely engorged and had developed very painful mastitis, so was in a poor state when Mo visited.
Seeing Finn choking on the fast flow and having difficulty feeding was also really taking its toll on me. I felt other professionals were lacking in knowledge or hesitant to provide advice on oversupply whereas Mo gave clear guidance and advice. As well as providing invaluable advice and assisting with positioning and attachment, Mo was extremely warm and kind and made me feel completely at ease during a very vulnerable time.
I consulted Mo again when my son became extremely fussy when feeding at around nine weeks old. I had been sure I had a supply issue following mastitis due to Finn’s behaviour. Mo observed Finn feed and, had it not been for Mo’s advice and reassurance that my supply was good and the issues were more likely in relation to Finn’s digestive issues, I would have expressed to increase my supply. I truly believe I would have ended up with an oversupply again and dealing with recurrent mastitis.
Mo provided helpful advice in relation to potential allergens and the use of probiotics. She also provided follow up advice via email for 2 weeks following both consultations to ensure I was fully
supported.
Finn and I are now nearly four months into our breastfeeding journey which is now an enjoyable bonding experience for us both. I am quite sure I wouldn’t have been able to continue breastfeeding if it hadn’t been for Mo’s input and advice – she really is an expert in her field.

Bo and I have been on our breastfeeding journey for over eight months now and it’s all thanks to Mo. I can’t thank her enough. Mo was extremely helpful and kind when we needed her most.
The first few days of breastfeeding were lovely for us but as soon as my milk came in Bo started to struggle with latching. The midwife told us that Bo had a tongue tie the day that he was born but we didn’t really know what that meant or how it could affect breastfeeding. Three weeks later, my nipples were sore, cracked and bleeding so I tried pumping but Bo was not a fan of the bottle and then resorted to nipple shields but it was still difficult so I booked an appointment with Mo. I wish I would’ve done so earlier, but I’m just glad that I did.
Mo was so patient, helpful and kind at the consultation. She is so caring and knowledgeable. Exactly what I needed at that time. She showed us various breastfeeding positions and booked an ppointment with the tongue tie clinic for us. Now eight months later I can’t thank Mo enough. Our breastfeeding
experience is everything I had hoped for, and I’m so glad I reached out to Mo.

My consultation with Mo has left me excited for my breastfeeding journey. She put me at ease straight away and provided information and advice in a really gentle and clear way. It was an informative and empowering experience and I would definitely recommend Mo to any new Mum.
