Mo offered fantastic support and advice. She was very professional and really took time to understand my concerns. Mo offered practical advice and guidance on attachment and latching; I was able to try these in the comfort of my own home. This has been a great confidence boost when feeding. The follow-up report was really useful for reference and further reading. Thank you!

We live in the Scottish Borders and are very grateful that Mo was happy to travel to us to optimise breastfeeding for our twin boys.
We found Mo incredibly friendly, supportive and approachable. Within minutes of her arrival, I understood how to form a good latch better and implementing this advice has made breastfeeding more comfortable.
I had specific concerns regarding being able to breastfeed both our babies independently when my husband returns to work, and Mo took time to address this. Another particularly valuable aspect of our consultation was to explore different feeding positions.
Mo was incredibly patient, took the time to answer all of our questions and certainly went the extra mile; both babies were unsettled as she planned to leave and, rather than leave us with them, took time to ensure we were all well set up for a good feed.
Catherine (March 2025)
We arranged to meet Mo after a difficult start to breastfeeding including admission to hospital for feeding support. She spent 2 hours with us at our home, listening to our concerns and offering advice in a kind and non-judgemental way. She offered options with regards to positioning, supplementing with expressed milk and using the bottle. She then sent on a detailed report and links to research for further information. I would highly recommend if you are looking for support with breastfeeding or wishing to build your confidence.
Rebecca (March 2025)
I recently had a consultation with Mo as I was struggling with finding a comfortable position for breastfeeding my 3.5 week old baby boy. I was also concerned about my latch and whether some tummy issues were due to poor attachment.
Mo was warm and reassuring in her approach and helped me find comfortable positions that worked for myself and my baby. We also discussed possible causes for the tummy issues and Mo helped signpost me to resources to help with this. We are both getting more sleep now and baby seems happier with feeding so feel the consultation was worthwhile in providing some valuable guidance at a challenging time. Thanks very much Mo!

Mo is nothing short of a fairy godmother! As a third-time mum, I was completely caught off guard by the feeding challenges I faced with my youngest daughter, especially after having no issues with my first two.
Mo arrived like a calm, reassuring presence and, within just a few hours, transformed our entire feeding experience with a few simple but effective adjustments to positioning and technique. Her expertise, warmth, and genuine care made all the difference. She even made sure my daughter and I were comfortably tucked in for a much-needed nap before she left!
I can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone struggling with breastfeeding—she is truly a lifesaver!
Slaine (Feb 2025)
Mo’s approach is sensitive and holistic and she gently empowers you on your feeding journey. Both times I saw Mo I felt a huge increase in confidence about breastfeeding. I felt more informed about areas I could make manageable changes, but also encouraged and validated about what I was already doing. I couldn’t recommend seeing Mo more and have recommended her to everyone I know with a young baby.
Melloney (Jan 2025)
I reached out to Mo via the charity Breastfeeding Twins and Triplets UK. I have twin girls who were six weeks premature, spent sixteen days in special care and had an inconsistent breastfeeding journey. I felt I needed in-person support from an experienced IBCLC to even continue our journey. It was just a bonus that Mo is also a twin mum!
Mo visited when our girls were 4.5 weeks old, and I was already exhausted and overwhelmed with information and strategies. She stayed at our house for several hours. We spoke about me, the girls and Mo observed them both feed. She gave me practical tips regarding latching, compressions, positions and expressing. I even learned that my current flange was 8mm too big. We agreed some strategies going forward to prioritise, and neither were overwhelming that they felt unachievable.
When Mo left I felt so uplifted and positive that our journey could continue. Mo then stayed in touch via email and expressed a genuine interest in me and our girls. She was there not only from a practical perspective but also emotionally. I was able to reach out to Mo many times when I was emotionally struggling, and she always picked me back up.
I can honestly say that without the practical and emotional support from Mo, I don’t think I would have continued feeding. I was so exhausted and struggling that I desperately needed someone to get us out. Mo was our person! Our premature, 4lb babies are now over 7 and 8lb. Our not-so-little Halle and Riley have truly benefited from this journey.
Cara (Jan 2025)
I contacted Mo after my son dropped down across two centiles lines at his 12 week check. Mo was fantastic at quickly identifying what the issues were – mainly he wasn’t transferring milk effectively. Although he was latching on well, we couldn’t hear him take active swallows of milk. My son had been incredibly fussy at the breast since birth and has reflux. He was always a tricky baby to feed – it’s not been the sit, cuddle/relax and feed situation I had to with my first child – it was hard work getting any milk into him. He also wasn’t taking keen to take a bottle.
Mo came up with a plan to get more milk into my wee one through using a supplementary nursing system (SNS) while building my supply back up through pumping. Mo set me up with the new SNS and stayed with me until I was feeling confident with the using it and was on hand for the next few weeks online to support my various questions. I also received tons of information through email.
I thought I’d be house bound with the SNS but I’ve managed doing it on trains, planes and buses!! It is a faff in the beginning but once you get into the swing of things it can come everywhere. I would definitely recommend Mo and paying for this service. The 1:1 support currently through the public system is pretty much non-existent and some of the support feels out of date too. I’m delighted that I’m still breastfeeding at 5 months old- having many times thought it would be the end of it. Baby is putting on weight and things are so much more relaxed at the boob.
Hoping to wean off the SNS and top ups once we start to wean onto solids! I’m hopeful we’ve got ourselves through his rough patch and we can continue our breastfeeding journey a bit longer like I’d hoped!
Sarah (Oct 2024)
Throughout my pregnancy I was determined that I really wanted to breast feed. My partner and I attended additional antenatal classes and I also signed up for a local breastfeeding support group. I did not expect to find breastfeeding so difficult when my little boy was born. There were a number of things making it more challenging; a tongue tie and the recovery after my c-section. I found the whole experience of trying to breast feed very upsetting.
I had a session with Mo the day after my little boy had his tongue tie released. Whilst the release hadmade things a little easier I felt I had got into some bad habits prior to this and was continuing to have difficulties. My little boy had also lost more weight which was concerning. Mo was so knowledgeable and was able to explain everything to me so clearly, giving examples e.g. visuals and demonstrations that really helped me understand things better. I had had countless people try to help me with positioning and attachment but the way that Mo explained things and the way she supported me whilst I was trying really helped me to understand what I was doing but also feel relaxed at the same time. The session allowed me to go from being able to breastfeed lying down (although inconsistently) to feeling more comfortable in this position and also able to comfortably use another two positions.
I spent the rest of the day practising what Mo had shown me and couldn’t believe the difference. Everything was much more comfortable, I wasn’t experiencing pain whilst feeding and I was actually enjoying it! I felt so confident that we even popped out for lunch the following day and I was able to feed my little boy whilst out which I hadn’t felt able to do previously. Unfortunately I picked up a sickness bug and was unwell the following day. However, I was able to continue breastfeeding throughout – something I know would not have been possible had I not had Mo’s support
prior to this.
We had another weigh in for my little boy 6 days later and he had put on 9oz which I was delighted with. Anyoneconsidering booking a session with Mo shouldn’t think twice. I am so glad I did.
Katy (Sept 2024)
I got in touch with Mo on the recommendation of several people. We had experienced so much difficulty with breastfeeding (tongue tie, blocked ducts, and mastitis), and I was desperate for help.
Mo responded quickly and spent three full hours with us. We went over my baby’s breastfeeding ourney and the difficulties we had faced. She answered so many of my questions, and her practical advice was invaluable—such as proper latching, feeding positions, and hand compression techniques.
The report Mo provided was clear and practical, and after following her suggestions, my baby’s weight gain was back on track within two weeks. We can’t thank her enough for her help. I strongly recommend Mo to all breastfeeding mothers.
Andrea (Sept 2024)
Having suffered with low milk supply with my first daughter in February 2022 and going through a difficult journey with it, Mo was absolutely key in helping me to achieve my goal of exclusively breastfeeding her – totally worth every penny and so much more, I couldn’t have done it without her.
So when my second daughter was born four weeks ago and again, I had low supply (although not nearly as bad as the first time round), I didn’t hesitate in calling Mo again, and again, she’s been invaluable in helping me on my journey.
Luckily, with my knowledge from first time round and with more help from Mo, this time is much easier and I’m already relaxing away from the feeding plan which is an absolute dream. If anyone is thinking of calling Mo to help with their breastfeeding journey, do not hesitate, you won’t regret it!
Amy (July 2024)
Mo was an absolute saviour for me and our little boy Cameron.
At 5 days old Cammy was losing weight and struggling to feed, I was experiencing issues with my supply including a delay to my milk coming in. As a first time mum I was totally lost and was becoming incredibly anxious receiving conflicting, unhelpful advice from friends, family and health professionals.
Mo’s initial visit saved me, she was kind, professional and so knowledgeable. Her face to face visit was excellent value for money as she spent dedicated time with me and my baby understanding my full health history and got to the root of our feeding problems.
Fast forward 5 weeks and we’re now off our personalised feeding plan and exclusively breastfeeding! Cammy and myself are thriving thanks to Mo and I can now relax and enjoy motherhood! Her follow up visit was also invaluable. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!
Andrea (July 2024)
I had the pleasure of meeting Mo, who greatly helped me manage my breastfeeding better. She took the time to explain each step in detail, making the information clear and easy to understand.
Mo provided me with a tailored plan to follow in order to raise my milk supply, and her guidance was invaluable. Thanks to her insightful advice and support, I was able to become more confident in my role as a breastfeeding mother.
I highly recommend Mo to all mothers seeking support and advice for their breastfeeding journey.
Sarah (July 2024)
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.
Sasha (June 2024)
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.
Alice (June 24)
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.
Hannah (June 24)
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!
Amanda (May 24)
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!
Loren – April 2024
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!
Jo (Jan 2024)
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.
Christina (October 2023)
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.
Claudia (September 2023)
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.
