Lauren Wong IBCLC: Tongue Tie Specialist and Lactation Consultant

We booked with Lauren soon after our baby was born as the feeding consultant at the hospital suggested he may have a tongue tie impairing his feeding. We managed to get an appointment with Lauren in good time. Communication was good and our experience at the appointment was great.We were well informed and the division was made with little fuss and has healed up well in just a short period of time. Our babies feeding has become much more efficient since.

Absolutely amazing experience with Lauren who has literally saved my breastfeeding journey. Baby was spotted with tongue tie the day he was born and I wanted to exclusively breastfeed and was sent home with excruciating pain 24/7 where the latch was so bad. Opted to go with Lauren instead of wait for the NHS and it was so worth it. She did a full examination of baby’s tongue tie with a score which validated all the pain I had been going through as baby scored quite bad. The procedure was super quick and Lauren stayed with me to provide breastfeeding and latch advice (something I never received in hospital). I couldn’t recommend Lauren enough and am so grateful she could squeeze me in and help me and my baby!

Lauren was incredible, made us feel at ease as I was very anxious about the procedure. She was really thorough with her investigation and identifying the tongue tie. Since the procedure my baby is latching and feeding much more efficiently and it has really been life changing after weeks of struggle and exhaustion. I can’t recommend her enough

I was at my wits’ end when I contacted Lauren following very painful feeding and a tongue tie diagnosis from a community midwife. She responded to my enquiry instantly and was able to fit me in the following morning.Lauren assessed my baby and concluded that snipping the tongue tie would have minimal benefit, instead offering me practical guidance on how to improve the latch and ease the agonising pain I was experiencing. I was initially disappointed, hoping that rectifying the tongue tie would be my silver bullet, so was amazed when the excruciating pain from breast feeding subsided rapidly by changing the feeding position.I was so grateful that Lauren acted in my and my babies best interests even though this meant a reduced fee for her. I have been busy recommending Lauren to the other NCT mummies since!

Lauren is professional & thorough & really helped put my mind at ease during the very quick procedure. It has made such a difference to feeding & is now pain free. She also recommended some products which really helped my sore nipples recover. Without having this done I don’t think I would have been able to continue breast feeding. Thank you!

Lauren gave me the knowledge and confidence I needed to keep breastfeeding. I had a sleepy baby who was not gaining weight and we had been using nipple shields from birth based on a wrongly suspected tongue tie. Lauren was patient and gave me practical advice and reassurance when I was ready to give up and switch to exclusive expressing. Just a few weeks on baby is gaining weight well and we’ve just weaned off the nipple shield thanks to the latching technique Lauren showed me. I can’t recommend her enough for anyone who is having some initial difficulty but is determined to continue their breastfeeding journey.

Lauren was amazing with my partner. She provided support and encouragement for natural feeding without treatment for tounge-tieShe understands mums and baby’s like nobody’s business and really does care about the best interest of the health and well-being of mother and baby, very reasonable for price for the service she provides and we would be willing to pay over and over again! Any questions we had she spent time and really went in to depth with it!Sandra and BrendanElla’s mummy and daddy

Lauren is super lovely and made us feel at ease straight away. She was fabulous with my little who was so it 5 days old when we visited. Lauren took her time on assessing Ellery and then took the time to show me how to get a better latch whilst feeding. Very safe and clean space… I would highly recommend.

After having difficulty with previous tongue tie consultations in the NHS, we were recommended by a friend to have Lauren come to see us. She is super professional but also warm and friendly. She took the time to listen and assessed the situation as a whole. I would highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing. I came to Lauren in total desperation after 6 weeks of feeding through gritted teeth, lots of damage, right at the end of my ability to persevere. I was ready to quit breastfeeding. She made adjustments to my technique, gave me new things to try and fixed a minor tongue tie. Most importantly, she gave me the hope that things would get better. So I carried on and things got better and I've now been successfully breastfeeding for 8 months. It's really easy now and it's the best thing ever. I'm even able to donate milk to 2 other babies. I credit Lauren with getting us to this wonderful place. If I'd never had that appointment with her, there is no way I'd have been able to continue breastfeeding.
