Came to Hannah desperate for advice via video call after spending a lot of money/ time with no luck as my son (who was 4 months at the time) was heavily reliant on top ups, struggling to breastfeed and a lot of terrible advice from other people! She gave great advice and a plan to reduce top ups gradually and get back to breastfeeding which massively reduced my anxiety in doing so. Baby is doing well and is on very little top ups with the aim to stop them. Hannah continued to answer any questions I had even past the two weeks. I’d definitely come back to her if I had another baby and wish I found her sooner!

I contacted Hannah late one night feeling pretty desperate on my third bout of mastitis since I'd had my baby 12 weeks ago. She immediately responded giving me some advice for that evening and booked me an online consultation for the next morning, I couldn't believe she responded so quickly. I've had problems with getting a good latch since the beginning and was in so much pain with nipple trauma I couldn't bare to feed on one side. I thought we would have to stop nursing and was feeling pretty devastated. Hannah was lovely, so kind and calm and quickly got me feeding my baby on the the sore breast very quickly and surprisingly with far less discomfort. She also gave me lots of advice about managing the mastitis, nipple damage and feeding intervals, a lot of which was new to me and contrary to other advice I've been given. I honestly wish I had contacted her earlier in our breastfeeding journey and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others. She's so knowledgeable, kind and calm. I feel like a weight has been lifted. Thank you Hannah!

It was a pleasure and very reassuring working with Hannah to resolve a feeding issue we were having. She responded to my message quickly and offered a call the very next day. I was immediately at ease speaking to Hannah and appreciated her thoughtful approach to figuring out the problem. She is clearly very knowledgeable and I would recommend her support to anyone needing some extra help with feeding.

I can’t thank Hannah enough for her support with breastfeeding my daughter. I thought that due to her tongue tie and early arrival, breastfeeding would be unachievable for us, however within the hour of Hannah arriving at my home, she had supported us to find a position that allowed us to be comfortable with a strong latch and we have been breastfeeding ever since! Hannah was warm, friendly and encouraging and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is on their breastfeeding journey that is having difficulties or just needs some support. Thank you so much Hannah!

I contacted Hannah on the recommendation of a friend who had used Hannah's support during her feeding journey. My issue was pumping related, specifically poor fitted flange sizing which had resulted in some pretty nasty nipple trauma. I had a 1 hour WhatsApp video call with Hannah and left the call with completely new flange sizing for 2 different pumps I own (who knew, different pumps may require different sizes!) and some really helpful knowledge on healing protocols. As an extra bonus, Hannah shared some tips on improving my 7 month old babies latch, specifically the 'scissor technique' which to my surprise has enabled me to latch my baby more comfortably than I have in our entire feeding journey. Hannah has a calm, non judgmental and incredibly supportive aura that every new parent could benefit from. Thank you so much!

Hannah was incredible. She promptly responded to my query and even communicated over the weekend. I had issues with feeding following triple feeding and wanted to transition to exclusive breastfeeding. She was so helpful and knowledgeable, and provided the information I needed to feel confident. We are now exclusively breastfeeding two weeks after Hannah’s visit, and my baby is gaining weight. Would 100% recommend!

Hannah was able to provide the reassurance and confidence I needed in the early days of breast feeding. She was so helpful with getting my baby to improve her latch to make feeding more comfortable. Our appointment didn’t ever feel rushed and she really takes the time to get to know you, your baby, and your personal experience. I’ve contacted her a couple of times since with questions and she’s always very quick to reply. It’s so nice to know she is there with me on this journey!

Hannah was SUPER helpful during our consultation. My baby is a week old and we were struggling with breast feeding after a tongue tie release. Hannah calmly helped me try different positions and ways to feed my baby until we found one that worked for us. She gave us lots of encouragement and was so knowledgeable and offers support after the consultation too. I would recommend to anyone struggling with their feeding journey! Thanks Hannah!!

I highly recommend Hannah if you are looking for feeding support! I had a difficult breastfeeding experience with my firstborn, where I wasn’t ever successful in getting him to latch and ended up feeding him expressed bottles. When I found out I was pregnant again I knew that I needed more support. My goal was to be able to feed exclusively with shields with the intention of feeding without them later down the line.

Hannah’s reviews online were amazing and her Instagram page showed her passion for supporting women, so I got in touch and we arranged a video call to discuss a plan for the first couple of days if the baby didn’t latch. She was really knowledgeable and I felt confident in getting my milk supply going. She was really flexible and came to visit us at home the morning after getting home from the hospital with only a day’s notice! We tried using shields and Hannah immediately reassured me that baby was sucking and swallowing properly. She showed me a few positions I could use and answered my many questions!

It’s fantastic that Hannah stays in contact through WhatsApp for two weeks if you require; I certainly had lots more questions and she was really reassuring in her replies. She also checked in on me so I felt she was genuinely interested in my success and ready to support where needed.

I have no doubt that she will be able to support me again when the time is right to try and feed without shields. Thank you so much, Hannah!

‘If Hannah had been the only thing I organised for my partner, it still would have been the best thing I could have done.’

‘Amazing bottle feeding support. No judgement whatsoever.’

‘Hannah’s calm energy immediately put us at ease’

‘Hannah fitted us in the same day, and within minutes of her arriving feeding was comfortable, even on my sorer breast’

‘So quick to respond to my initial enquiry, and within a few days we were back on track with feeding.’

‘She’s incredible. 10/10’

My baby boy was three days old when I contacted Hannah for a home visit. She was so calm throughout her visit and always asked for permission if she needed to re-position my baby boy. She showed me different breastfeeding positions and always kindly checked with ‘How does it feel?’ with her warm smile.Hannah followed up with an email the following day and a year on, I still message her with questions about breastfeeding!Hannah is the person that helped me exclusively breastfeed my baby boy. Thank you, Hannah

 

“Hannah saw me today after one days notice that I was struggling with breastfeeding my newborn. She was super helpful and so very understanding, every question I had she answered and completely reassured me that I was doing everything right and praised my perseverance. She observed me feeding, offered me advice and guided me to make improvements. When she left I felt so more empowered and proud of myself and my baby’s efforts. Cannot thank Hannah enough!”

“Hannah is so lovely and helpful. She is really easy to talk to and puts you completely at ease. She has been really helpful, even via video consultation!”

“As a new mum you are given so much advice on feeding from so many different people and they all share their view on how it should be done, you are genuinely left feeling lost, guilty and that you are failing as breast feeding struggles are not spoken about enough.
Hannah is so supportive and gives you personalised support that is right for you and your baby. The advice also fits into your family life, she does this in a non judgemental way.
She has so much knowledge and allows you to build confidence without feeling bad or judged. After conversations with Hannah, you will feel empowered, confident, informed and encouraged.

Thank you, you really do more than your jobs worth and it shows that you really care !”

“It’s literally thanks to Hannah we’re still breastfeeding, I sought lots of support before Hannah but now would go no where else for help. Everyone else judged, and compared to Hannah, had a lack of knowledge”

“Hannah has been so supportive & helpful with my feeding issues. I messaged her the day after delivery of my fourth baby as we were struggling with pain & latch & she came to my house to help us with positioning & encouraged me greatly. I felt a lot more confident after seeing her. She gave clear guidance & has continued to support us & point me to information relating to our struggles. I think I’d feel a lot more stressed about the difficulties we’ve been having without her encouragement. Love her!”

“Hannah is amazing! She is very supportive and understands your needs and tailors them to suit you personally. Thank you Hannah x”

“Hannah is so lovely – I highly recommend her. Hannah made me feel at ease and comfort when she visited to help me with a poor latch… she spent a long time helping me with different positions and has followed up with tips for blebs and positioning for high palette feeding. Hannah discovered my son had a posterior tongue tie and made the referral to the hospital, following the revision and her tips our feeding journey is infinitely better. Hannah is genuine in her want to help people.”
“Hannah was recommended to us by a close friend when I was having breastfeeding struggles, when my baby girl was a few weeks old. We asked Hannah to come for a home visit as the prospect of leaving the house seemed too overwhelming at the time. It was an emotionally challenging time and I am so grateful to Hannah for all the support and guidance she offered at such a critical time. I was instantly put at ease by Hannah’s presence as she kindly offered the time and space to really listen to what was happening. Her empathetic approach allowed me to relax and I quickly felt reasurred. Hannah’s wisdom and compassion enabled me to really understand and see what was happening and why I was in so much pain with feeding. She gave me the confidence I needed at exactly the time I needed it the most. A full assessment was given which was also provided in written form and a quick referral was made also. Hannah continued to be a great source of support even after her visit as she would regularly check in with me by text and see how things were going, offering guidance and sharing helpful articles. I was also made aware of the support groups available locally which have been so useful. Having someone as compassionate and knowledgeable as Hannah walk with you through those early weeks is invaluable and I could not recommended her highly enough for anyone experiencing breastfeeding difficulties.’

“Hannah is amazing, she was so helpful to me and my husband when we were trying to breastfeed our daughter. She was always available on the phone to guide us and give us words of encouragement. I’m not sure I would have continued to breastfeed without her support.”

“We’ve had breastfeeding advice from many different sources, but Hannah’s expertise has been invaluable to us. Hannah has been very flexible with her visits which are very helpful when you’re dealing with new babies. Would highly recommend.”
