​​LACTATION AND TONGUE-TIE APPOINTMENTS

Many families find the information about breastfeeding and tongue-tie confusing and often conflicting. We aim to answer your questions clearly and provide a range of strategies that you can implement yourself as you gain confidence in feeding your baby. We believe that mothers are the experts and we want you to trust yourself and your baby. Australia offers no consumer protections on any products related to infant feeding and has failed to train its health workers about breastfeeding. This means many recommendations for managing breastfeeding challenges are commercially influenced using fictional numerical norms (measuring nipples, timings etc), brands and a plethora of unproven devices.
