How we can help

Crafted by a specialist who understands . . .

Feeding your baby is such a personal journey, and it’s really important that you feel comfortable with and confident in the person who is supporting you on that journey.

Kerry is not only a mum to a now very busy toddler, who had her own fair share of feeding challenges, she also has over 10 years experience working as a Speech and Language Therapist. With a special interest in infant feeding and a passion for working with mum’s and thier babies, Kerry specialised in Paediatric and Neonatal Speech Therapy, and has been working with families in the NHS for 6 years. Becoming a Lactation Consultant felt like a natural next step and a perfect fit for her.

The feeding space was created by a mum who understands, a mum who wants to help other mum’s navigate the ups and downs of feeding their babies.
