NOW Available to book!

Ahhh the early days with a baby… it’s what you’ve waited all these months for. Instagram has told you it’s complete bliss, you can’t wait. And then the time arrives. You’re in the thick of the newborn haze….. and man this is all so much harder than you thought. Sleep deprivation, feeding struggles, emotions all over the place, overwhelmed…… oh and the crying, this is not the bliss you hoped for. You spend hours falling down the rabbit hole of social media, is this normal? Lost in apps tracking feeds, nappies, wake windows.
Does this sound familiar? Then this is for you. Time to switch off, have a cuppa and some cake surrounded by your own team of cheerleaders. To support you, celebrate the wins and share the tough bits too. (On those days we repeat the mantra…. This too shall pass)

Led by Linzy and Amanda, with a combined experience of over 40 years in supportive women in their postnatal and feeding journeys. We promise, your in good hands.

Community, confidence, connection- we’ve got you.

Wednesday 13 th May 2:30-4 pm Trinity Church Gosforth. (Booking essential )

To continue offering the best support, it’s important that lactation consultants take time to rest and recharge. I will be stepping away from seeing clients for 10 days and will resume taking bookings from the week beginning 6th April.
Wishing you all a happy Easter.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mothers I’ve had the privilege to support.

Watching you grow in confidence, learn your babies, overcome challenges, and celebrate those special feeding moments has been an absolute honour. Every journey is unique, and I’m always so grateful to be invited into such an important time in your lives.

Today I hope you take a moment to appreciate yourselves and everything you do — the long nights, the endless cuddles, the perseverance, and the love that only a mother can give.

Wishing you a day filled with pride, rest (if your little one allows!), and plenty of baby snuggles.

Happy Mother’s Day 💛

Fl**ge fit really matters when using a breast pump. The right size can make pumping more comfortable and more effective.

If pumping feels painful or you’re not getting much milk, your fl**ge size might be the issue.

Women across the North East of England — get in touch if you’d like a pump fitting. I’d love to help.

Amanda has been supporting families with breastfeeding for over 20 years and for more than 16 of those as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), the highest qualification in infant feeding support.

With experience across the NHS, the voluntary sector and private practice, she offers calm, practical guidance through everything from low milk supply, relactation and tongue tie to mixed feeding, expressing, mastitis and understanding normal baby behaviour.

As a mum of four and now a proud grandma of two, she brings both professional expertise and real-life understanding to the families she supports.

We’re so excited that Amanda is running a FREE breastfeeding support group at The Playgroup Hub, Sunderland.

Whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum or in the thick of your feeding journey, this is a safe, welcoming space to get reassurance, ask questions and feel supported, in truly expert hands.

In her (very limited!) spare time she loves baking, although that time has become even more precious since her two grandchildren arrived this past year 💕

Having access to this level of qualified support locally is something really special!

Come see us on a Thursday @ 11.30am (FREE BUT MUST BE BOOKED ONLINE) ❤️
