No food is more perfect for babies than breast milk. Breast milk contains all the nutrients that a newborn needs — to date some 100 "ingredients" have been identified in breast milk that cannot be duplicated in formula. In fact, the benefits of breastfeeding are so well established that the World Health Organisation now recommends that women breastfeed their infants exclusively for the first six months and to continue feeding thereafter as long as you and the baby are happy to do so.

Today, most women do not breastfeed their babies for the length of time recommended by the World Health Organisation.  Studies show that this is because women are not getting the support they need in the early days of their new relationship with their very new baby.

I aim to offer you that support. I am a private practice lactation consultant working in Cork City and County. Breastfeeding Cork is a place where mums know they can get the help they need when they need it virtually seven days a week.

Affordability is a priority, which is why I work hard to keep prices as low as possible and why lactation consultations are charged at a flat fee rather than by the hour.  This way, I can help you at a reasonable cost with no worries about how long the consult lasts.  As consults regularly last 1.5 - 3 hours this usually works well for everyone.
