Lactation Consultant

We are committed to providing comprehensive support to new mothers through our specialised lactation consultant services. Breastfeeding is a natural and rewarding experience, but it can also present challenges that require expert guidance and support.

Our goal is to empower mothers with the knowledge and skills they need to successfully breastfeed their babies, fostering a healthy and fulfilling breastfeeding journey.

Our specialist, Amanda Bude is an experienced Registered Nurse/ Registered Midwife International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, Holistic Baby and Child Sleep Specialist and HypnoBirthing Child Birthing Educator.

She has now been in private practice for over 14 years, working with families to uncover the reasons why their child may not be feeding competently or sleeping soundly.

As an IBCLC she is certified to work with simple and complex feeding scenarios. She believes that you and your baby deserve the time and attention for a thorough assessment, using validated tools, the latest in evidenced based information to create an individual plan to solve, and support your feeding goals.

She has specialist training in Tongue Tie Identification and the skills required to support the journey this anatomical situation can impact on families.
