The Lactation Doula

We contacted Rebecca ahead of the birth of our first born for some tips and advice about breast feeding and arranged a zoom consultation to ask any questions we had. She was very kind, encouraging and inspired us with lots of confidence in an area which can be so daunting and judgemental for first time mums.She offered us lots of useful resources, information and practical advice that we could take away from the session and we have found to be instrumental in our breast feeding journey so far. Would highly recommend to anyone with feeding concerns.

I reached out to Rebecca few days after giving birth to twins. I have been feeling extremely lost and desperate in my new journey with feeding and looking after two babies.I reached out to Rebecca via instagram and she responded immediately to my message and was ready to come to visit me the next day. She was extremely reassuring during our call.Rebecca helped me incredibly with breastfeeding. She helped me find the best position and technique to latch the second baby who wouldn’t breastfeed at all. My twins are only one week old and thanks to Rebecca we have been successful to tandem feed for the first time whilst babies are only one week old!Apart from breastfeeding Rebecca addressed other baby care related questions. I felt so much more confident, better equipped and supported after her visit.Rebecca is very kind, patient, non judgmental and super knowledgeable. I greatly recommend Rebecca to anyone who needs support, tips and tricks with newborn babies and twins especially.

Rebecca was with us during the birth of our first child. She was that friend we hadn't realised was crucial. Her emotional support during the challenging times prior, during and post birth were the most supportive chats we had with anyone, family included. She provided a degree of stability in what was otherwise an uncontrolled rollercoaster. She met us before to help us plan the birth, was with us on the day to deal with all the suprises and stayed after on the day to help ease into normalcy until we were comfortable. She is always available on WhatsApp and goes out of her way to support when needed even when outside of the contractual terms. Highly recommend Rebecca for anyone who's looking for a friend in their doula and is lost in the confusion that is pregnancy and trying to turn it into a beautiful experience instead.

Rebecca is amazing! She supported us through the pregnancy, birth and early postpartum days. She was brilliant at the birth - it would have been so much harder without her. Her presence made the period at home before going to the hospital much more relaxed (she also took great birth pictures!)After our daughter was born, we had trouble getting feeding established. It turned out she had tongue tie, which Rebecca had strongly suspected from the start and encouraged us to get looked at. Without her encouragement and advice I would not have been able to carry on breastfeeding.Overall we cannot recommend her highly enough!

I recently gave birth to my first baby and wanted a bit of reassurance that feeding was going okay and both me and baby were getting off to the best start. Rebecca was incredibly helpful with tips and tricks for feeding, comforting, and sleeping to ensure a happy fulfilled baby. She answered all my questions completely and considerately, and generally provided that reassurance I think all first time mums probably need! Baby has managed to get past his birth weight already at Day 5 and I'm feeling much more comfortable and relaxed which has been critical in these early few days. Thanks Rebecca!

Rebecca gave me amazing support with breastfeeding issues I’m having with my daughter. The minute she stepped into my home she made me feel comfortable with her friendly demeanor and gave me great personalised support on breastfeeding. What’s more is she offered advice on other newborn questions I had like sleeping, fussiness, etc. It is also great that the service she offers extends after our meeting as she follows up to make sure things are indeed improving. Would highly recommend Rebecca!!

Rebecca gave me some really good tips on breastfeeding my 2 week old as we had been struggling with discomfort which meant I would stop the feed prematurely. She made me feel completely at ease with no judgement on how we were feeding so far. She said I could message her at any time after the consultation for further support or advice which felt very reassuring. I would absolutely recommend her :).

Absolutely incredible consultant! I experienced numerous lactation issues, and really didn’t get the support I needed when I was discharged from hospital. Rebecca listened and validated my experiences, as well as supported every decision I made with regards to feeding. She came up with a management plan to help me achieve my goals, and gave me instant relief from engorgement (I’d had multiple pieces of advice from other consultants, none of which had worked until I had seen Rebecca). She’s such a wonderful human too!

Rebecca made us all feel very comfortable and was such a great help- her techniques worked straight away! Was available within 2 hours and has a lovely, calming energy. Would highly recommend :)

Rebecca helped us with the birth of our daughter, and we had a really positive experience with her. All the lead up meetings were helpful and informative, and my partner and I felt far better prepared for the birth than we were before. Due to medical complications our child’s birth didn’t go according to our preference (not plan, which is something you’ll learn from Rebecca!), and it was great to have her there throughout the birth to talk through things and support us. She’s kept in regular contact with us to see if we’re all ok and seeing if we have any questions. Overall, we’d highly recommend Rebecca as a doula and are really grateful for all her support.
