Lactation consultant
Show your support
Latch on - Viv is amazing. She runs a free group on Wednesdays too. As mentioned above you can also request one for free. A group in Bexhill called Breast mates is also helpful and free with feeding support
I saw Viv but she doesn't appear on the official register for IBCLC (weirdly) so I was holding off as couldn't find her credential
There's a drop in clinic for breastfeeding (run by nhs) that runs every Thursday 1-2:30 at Shinewater family hub. There's also a lactation consultant who gets great reviews who will come to you... Google rise midwives. Nelly is a midwife and IBCLC.
Oh really? Maybe message Viv to ask? Or I can. She'd be happy to send her credentials I'm sure. There is a private FB group she also runs with lots of help and support.
Second viv- latch on. She’s been brilliant
Viv won't appear as she's not NHS trained as she did all her training in another country... she's a CBC and training to be an IBSCS ( she has all the knowledge training and experience to qualify but hasn't sat the exam in the UK.) she's honestly is the best of the best and has her own little community of mums , she runs the group on Wednesdays feel free to attend even if you are pregnant and want to get a feel of it before you pay for her 121 ( even if you didn't want to pay or have the private consults feel free to come along on Wednesdays ) I peer support there so can help with any questions ☺️❤️
Another vote for Viv ❤️
How old is your little one? We contacted maternity triage and they referred us to the lactation specialist nurse at the conquest x
3 days old
Can you request one via your midwife / HV? I’m not in the area but I used a LC and it was really helpful. There’s also a great FB page called Breastfeeding and Lactation Support UK. You may find more help there.
