IBCLC in Bingley .
Breastfeeding & Infant Feeding Support.
Looking for an IBCLC in Bingley? Hi I’m Rea - the Titwitch.
I’m an award-winning International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, Registered Midwife and Infant Feeding Specialist based in Bingley, West Yorkshire.
I support families locally and across West Yorkshire with breastfeeding, chest feeding, bottle feeding, combination feeding, expressing and all the wonderfully confusing bits in between.
You don’t need to know what’s wrong before you contact me.
That’s my job.
I’ll listen to your story and journey, watch what’s happening with feeding where appropriate, explain the WHY behind it and help you make a realistic plan that works for your family.
When might an IBCLC help?
You might be looking for help because:
breastfeeding is painful
your baby won’t latch
your baby keeps pulling off
feeds are very long or, very frequent
your baby clicks, gulps or splutters
you’re worried about milk supply
you’re dealing with fast let-down or over-supply
your baby seems unsettled during or after feeds
you’re worried about weight gain or milk transfer
you’re struggling with pumping
your baby refuses a bottle
you’re combination feeding and want a plan
you’re concerned about tongue function or tongue-tie
you’re returning to work
or, you simply have a feeling that something isn’t right.
What happens during an appointment?
We’ll start with your story.
I’ll ask about your pregnancy, birth, feeding so far, your baby and your goals.
Where appropriate, I’ll observe a feed and assess what’s happening with positioning, attachment, milk transfer and your baby’s oral function.
Then we’ll work out what might be contributing to the problem and what your options are.
You won’t be left with a list of things you’re supposed to do without understanding why.
I’ll leave you with a personalised feeding plan, practical strategies and the confidence to adapt as your baby changes.
