Kind Words

Infant Feeding client:

Ellie was recommended to me by a friend and we luckily saw her when my daughter was only a couple of weeks old. She came to visit us in our home and I almost instantly felt safe and heard with her. She truly understood our specific situation and tailored a plan that was considered, knowledgable and felt achievable in our personal circumstances, and ultimately gave me hope would succeed. With her support, guidance and follow-ups in those following weeks (we tried everything and she never gave up on us!), I can now look back with genuine pride that I managed to successfully breastfeed for nearly 7 months despite a very challenging start. I genuinely don’t think I would have got to where I did without Ellie and I’m so glad that next time I can call on her before birth to feel as prepared as I possibly can be.
