![]() ![]() I will never take this for granted! If you’re like me and you’ve spent countless nights awake at 3am wondering how you’re going to salvage your breastfeeding journey, I highly recommend seeking Simone’s guidance! She’s an amazing lactation consultant who is gentle and professional, and always willing to provide the ongoing guidance for whatever can’t be achieved in a single session. ![]() I don’t feel I could have done it without the ongoing guidance Simone provided me, but most of all, it’s the quiet confidence that Simone allows a mother to have in her abilities. I’m proud to say that 4 weeks later, my baby has gained more weight than in her first month of life with the shield. Within a couple days, my baby girl was latching on her own! It was Simone’s ongoing professional guidance that gave me the confidence to breast feed my baby without the shield and helped me overcome some insecurities I was having in my own body and abilities. Simone’s continued guidance after the session helped us through latching and a fast letdown (which the nipple shield had been masking). We got a latch in the first session although she couldn’t hold it. Simone did a house visit and guided me through different positions we could try as well as shaping the breast so that my baby had some breast tissue to latch onto. ![]() I was given the shield in hospital as my baby had failed to latch onto flat/small nipples. I reached out to Simone when my baby was 4 weeks old and not latching without a nipple shield. ![]()
