"Lactation consultant session"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Breastfeeding Centre of WA

(as a service user),

We engaged with a lactation consultant (Meg) through the Breast Feeding Centre due to our concerns with baby coughing/spluttering/choking and vomiting while breast feeding. And also just my own general anxiety around being a new parent and stressing that things weren’t okay. While the issue at hand didn’t happen while we were there, we were given some fabulous guidance and support to make some actionable changes. I felt very heard and reassured - previously I had been using a variety of online/phone resources to try and help me but there was a lot of mixed information. It very much helped to speak with someone knowledgeable about our specific situation.

The issue does still happen when feeding (not at every feed - but often once a day) however, we know a bit more about what is happening and things we can try. We also know that we can contact again if concerned for guidance at any time.

Dear Caredfor99,

Congratulations on the birth of your baby and thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Breastfeeding Centre. I was pleased to read how well supported you felt during your consultation, and that Meg was able to offer you guidance and reassurance.

We are so proud of the knowledgeable support our team at the Breastfeeding Centre provide to women during their breastfeeding journey, and we will be sure to pass on your kind words.

Wishing you and your family all the best.

Kind regards,

Delaney
